Corvettte body
Hello all,
Is anyone aware of a manufacture of 1/8 scale Corvette bodies. Something late sixties or early 70's possibly Stingray or a fast back.I've searched high and low but with no success.I'm looking for that for a vintage SG INDY Pan car
I really appreciate it!!
Regards,
Nate

1/8th Scale corvette body no way
1/8th body is strictly for racing besides 1/8th cars are so wide it would never look right with a corvette
why not 1/10th scale like this
or this
may not be vintage but they look good

RE: Corvettte body
Your absolutely right..............they do look good, but surely their must be one out there somewhere for 1/8. Now that would be COOL. Your remark about width is right. I didn't think about that.
What are those in your pics?

You can get a C6 from either [link=http://www.hpiracing.com/index2.htm]HPI Racing[/link] or from [link=http://www.pro-lineracing.com/]Pro-Line Racing[/link]
I think the HPI C6 is better because it comes with more decals but the proline body is more durable. I however would only use a corvette body for display purposes cuz I would hate to have to cut holes in one after I finish painting it.
