Hi again.
Does anyone know if there is a 55 era pickup body available? Preferably Chevy as they look nicer.
Also
I live in Melbourne Australia and can't find anywhere that deals in 1/4. I asked at the Hobby Place (they stock 1/8) but they were no use.
thanks
Steve

I dont know about anyone over here that does bodies mate, let alon that style. Most of the rich boys buy their bodies from the states, doesnt seem to be the demand over here.
I`m doing a model T C cab from scratch cause i`m a tight arse lol but theres no way i could afford to buy a body if i could find one.
Good luck with your search and dont forget to let us know what you find
Cheers
Troppo

Looks like i will have to make one.
I have done some fiberglass mold work and I can design the body in cad off a matchbox car.
But that will probably be expensive.
Now all i need to do is nick some carbon fiber from uni for it!!!!
