I figured as much.. I've been away from doing my custom work for a few years and things have changed a bit since then.. MDC, gone (or part of athearn, whatever that means). I have a supply of the IM shells and stewart chassis so I guess I'll just continue with them.. Thanks for the reply, Jeff.

Apparently Mr. Lubliner hasn't been answering E Mails (from post's here). Walthers has no product's and good luck finding dealer's that do.

His local business reputation has been 'spotty' (He has something to do with the 'movie' susiness (this is a side endeavor), and ATHEARN cannot legally sell unfinished shells , so wait OR ...

1. buy the INTERMOUNTAIN 'F' shell's - painted, unpainted, or kit's. They are excellent.

2. Buy the finished Genesis 'F's. They can be stripped; You'll have a chassis, too.
