fiberglass Raco indy car body

[Mike Casey]

Fitted a LRU fiberglass Indy car body today to a car that I am sending to a friend tomorrow. Came out nice and clean. Thought I would throw out a few pics in case someone was thinking of getting one for there car.

That looks great Mike.

looking good !

but its a pitty that all those bodies are available for USA only as shipping outside seems to cost about half a grand .... (actually i paid less for shipping a complete funny car in a wood cradle) ... but thats just the way it is ;(

total ok with you... sending heavy parts is expensive...

excuse me a body isnt that heavy !

[Mike Casey]

Vectrex, this body probably could be shipped for about $60 or so. The problem with some of the bodies is they are way too big. Like the ford truck body you asked about. Its huge and usps will not take it so that only leaves ups or fedex. Its wierd because I have purchased 1/4 scale cars from europe and only paid $80 for shipping and it comes in USPS but USPS will not ship something that big out of the country.

hi ! what is with DHL ? i have bought a funny car from usa it was shipped air in a wood crate box ... it was in total about 30 + kilos and HUGE box. ... i paid about 300 $ for the shipping !!!

i dont want to fool around or ask stupid questions its just that i could need bodies for my collection ....

I just checked DHL. To ship the truck body to you would cost $747!?!? Truck body ships in a box that is 50" x 20" x 20" let me know if you find something cheap.

i paid 300 us$ for a 30 kg + funny car in huge WOOD BOX ... how the hell can such a lightweight parcel with one body cost 700 euro

i am speechless this is SAD

Yeah, it's the overall size, not the weight.

Might be better for some of you International guys to have the body chopped into two (or three) pieces, and re-glass it back together when it gets there.
If I were buying a Pickup truck, I'd not mind if the cab and bed were separated.
