1:4 Scale 80's Chev Truck Shortbox Body????

Post by SMC »

Ok, so I'm close to 'done' with the first 1:4 I've owned (Short of future upgrades)

And I've talked myself into buying the next one tonight... both are WCMs

The one I'm getting tonight.... no body... and I'm thinking... how cool would it be to match my truck :)

Yeah, I saw those FORDs... hehehehheeee.....

Ok, I'm too new to give you too much crap yet huh? ha

Hmm... Maybe I'll carve one up and fiberglass it. Was hoping to avoid the additional weight tho.

Are you making those? Or having those made?

If I make a fiberglass mold or two, do you have a hookup for vacuum forming the lexan?

I've got a ton of fiberglass experience and a little mold experience.

Make the body? Or make the vehicle?

I just ran across a blazing blazer yesterday online while searching for a 1:4 scale chev shortbox body... I think it was listed for $500-600. ... No idea where... Maybe I'll look again.

Might make a cool second vehicle... And would be good to use as a mold for making the shortbox body. (And repro blazer bodies)

I'm second guessing whether I want two WCMs

Awwww. Boo... it's 1/10th scale :)

I'm gonna work my butt off to find or make a 1/4 Scale Shortbox Chev body.

I'll let you know when it happens.

I think the blazers are shorter, but if I end up with one, it will be easy to modify a mold to make a blazer out of it.

After my Daytona coupe I want to build a 1970 Chevy Malibu frame, and I believe one of our members can make this era type 70 Chevy body. Looking to make it old school pro stock. Mainly would be for looks with a tame attitude and bias tires all around. That's my dream.
