Just curious is the O/S line of bodies still being pulled or has it faded away?
O/S bodies?

I think Roger at Mid-America has the molds.
A motor is only as fast as the chassis it's in.

Check with Mid-America Products.
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

I am not looking for anything. Someone in another thread mentioned O/S bodies and that started me thinking, and that usually leads to something off the wall.

I just looked at the O/S web page, and I didn't see any retro bodies.
I am not a doctor, but I played one as a child with the girl next door.

Mid-America's catalog offerings are only the more recent and most popular bodies in both the Outisight and Parma lines. My understanding is that Ron Hershman bought the complete set of Outisight molds from the Correia family, so I'd assume these passed to Mid-America. Perhaps the older or less popular bodies can be special ordered.

Mid-America does not have everything that it sells listed on its website.
If you have ever walked through the M-A stockroom, you know why.
It would be a massive undertaking to inventory everything and put everything on their website.
If you want something in particular, I suggest to CALL them to see if it is available.

In the past, special orders were a minimum of 50 bodies. Roger's minimums may be something different. I know they were when I inquired about.040 Parma brass drop arms,
