Another good reason to continue shopping at Metal Supermarkets! Besides, they have what I need.

The door stamping design also reminds me of the VW Thing.

I don’t watch a lot of football, so I don’t know who Taylor Swift is, but he sounds fast!

My point, the only time they match up, redundant?

Are you sure it wasn’t -40 Fahrenheit?

So the make, model, and year is?

Helmet laws

The Wolseley Six also came out with 14” rims, the 18/85 pictured has 13” rims.

Good for you, keep at it!

It also helps to have my own track in the basement to practice on.

I did not know that you could build your own flexi chassis, I thought they were all factory stamped steel with the possibility of adding aluminum pans to lighten the car. Some can take a bit of work to flatten and tune. Was this your first big race or have you been racing for a while? There are so many things that go into setting up a fast car, I’ve learned a lot by watching others prep and race.

I have most of the Parma and JK flexis.

Also ask your question at the bottom of this page, “model car racing”, or go to Slotblog.net. There are more slot car racers there that may have an answer for you, I have not used them.

Is there any way reformat that article to make it easier to read or download?

At the college I went to they used to say, “ The farmers dropped their hogs off at college and took their daughters to market”.

Let’s eat Grandma. I love cooking my family and my pets.

Mike, Take a drive east about 50 minutes, stop at Mid-America Raceway in Buffalo Grove. They have all kinds in stock.

So, here’s where I’m at with my solution to this problem. For years I have been outbid more than a dozen times for a suitable donor body. I was finally able to acquire a less than perfect shell (gold and blue in photo). I poured the red silicone mold around it and then used that mold to cast the gray and tan resin bucks. After a lot of filling and sanding, the gray one was used to vacuum form the three bodies in the second pic. They are formed from a clear plastic PETG film to the original scale size. The tan one will be cut along the black lines and a 1/4” will be added in both directions to form a body that will fit a modern slot car chassis that is 3 1/4” wide with a 4” wheelbase. I haven’t had time to try it yet with his mold, but I plan on doing a thin slush casting like I did with the Mercoholic pictured last.

Never did find an exact match with that big hole in the grille, but than again I was looking at Prefect’s not Perfect’s. LOL

There are a lot of guys on Slotblog that would know about this car.

Tom, Thanks for the reply. I should have stated in the original post that I plan on using the bodies for slot car racing where crashes (broken bodies) are inevitable. I have access to a printer and that is why I was looking for reasonably priced print files. At $95 and $175, the two examples you show are beyond my limits. Also I was hoping to find the wide bodied Mecom version of the Lola. Thanks again, I do appreciate your reply. Thom

Where would be the best place to search for 3D print files, looking for Jaguar C-type and Lola GT Mk6, or has anyone ever found files on these two cars? Thanks Thom

Wait !! What ?? They can make a cup of noodles but I’ve yet to see a kit of a C-type Jag or a Lola GT Mk6, I give up.

I have a sign on the lid of my Slot car box that says, “ Every one is born right handed, only the gifted overcome it.” It’s right next to the one that says “ I won’t say you are stupid but I do think you have bad luck when it comes to thinking.”

After I heard the first f-bomb I turned it off and never went back, don’t need that!
