MRS QSL Raco indy car special edition

Post by Mike Casey »

MRS QSL scored this wicked sweet Z-line indy car body with her name and her as the driver!! This is an indy car chassis that she restored a couple years ago. Polished A arms, front disc brakes, PBS polished rear... all the good stuff!

Like mike said, but I would not really recomend it to anyone. Its also very undersized and required some modification. I am also sure if the car was to be driven, the body would blow up! :D

Phew! That's a relief!!

I think I now understand the passion Mike has for these cars. If anyone touches this one, THEY'LL lose an arm.

Nice.

Looks like you got my name on the car as well. Does that mean I get to drive it? :D

Mrs QSL: Now that's a very fine looking car ..... I love the paint job. I hate to be a pest ... but is there any chance of a few shots with the body shell removed??

Unfortunately the memory card does not like my computer, so QSL would have to take new pics. I pulled a few off of the Quarterscale Legends site though. Let's see if I can figure out how to post them...

That body would need to be sanded down and such to re do. I sent it to a friend for a spare. I still have 2 new black plastic unpainted ones and of course the fiberglass ones. We also have one complete indy new with some polish work and one I am putting together that will be all stock and new.

Funky, you are right about it being the Hardees body. I honestly don't know where that body is these days. I'm sure Mike does.

I believe the reason for the new body is because Mike O. only paints Lexan. The Hardees was fiberglass or ABS (something not clear). Also, the Z-line car has a special place in my heart so this was an extra special gift to me.

Kevin, thanks. I didn't realize how much work it was to restore a car until I worked on this one. Mike is nice enough to give me all the credit, but he had to teach me an awful lot. I had to borrow his muscle too when parts were misbehaving.

(MRS QSL makes me sound ancient. Feel free to call me Julie.)

I know where it is. I'm looking at it now. :D

Mike sent my Christmas present about a month ago.
