Now to answer your questions. Delta Models had an extensive line for all the Mopac models back in the 1980’s Bill Basden was the creator of the concept to to change out the side panels. The product line was sold by Bill and the other party sold it again to some one else.
Then is just died and disappeared. In all over a 4 year period there were 35 different configurations to change using the side inserts.
There were Mopac T&P southern ACL and I have lost tract.
Bil since got out of HO scale and now has a line of O scale resin parts.
Now fast forward to what you want to do. Unless you just want a few for you self, and not do retail your OK. yor cost would be about
300.00 for materials and then you have to build the masters. If you go the Cadillac route your looking at 2-3 K resin and rubber is not cheap.

Now I can provide a drawing based on an HO model for size and locations for the Portholes. will try to up load it to the forum
for all to use.
Good luck on your endeavors. I have attached some Body shell photo’s of the Mopac versions.
