Default Big body search...

Hi guy's !!

I would like help with finding places who sells 1/4 scale body's. I'm looking mainly for streetcar, but also other's. I know Raco in Europe, but there must be more than that place who sells them.

Mad Wax, LOL No, not exactly what I'm searching for. Even if these shells have quite big rear's, it's not quite the same thing Nice shapes are never wrong though [sm=thumbup.gif]

Veron, i have mailed him and hope he could help me out. Will let you all know if i get a answer that's of any use.

When I started my project, I looked forever for 1/4 scale anything bodies. All I ever found was from Raco. Granted, it's been a while, but I dunno. Thats 90% of the reason I went with a Hummer design.......I can make it myself. No weird angles. You could try Ebay, but thats always luck driven as to who's selling what.

The only other ideas I have is send um....think it's xKnax...something like that, at quarterscalelegends a message. He seems to know everything about 1/4 scale parts.

Automan, what body specifically are you looking for? I have been tossing the idea around to start selling 1/4 scale replacement bodies and parts on the site.

Well, there ya go! Did you change your name....or am I just confused? Either way.....large replacement bodies is a great idea. You might do well with that.

Yes, that would be a nice idea. I guess... if i want that body, i just have to carve it out myself and then put fiberglass plates on it and when it's dried i could just remove the fiberglass body and sand it down.. some fine tuning so to speak that would be the "easy" way. But i guess there are other ways that will give a much better result.

I will send you a pm xknacx 1/4scalelegend.
