"Bodyshells we'd like to see (and buy)" or "I've got 30 bucks burning a hole in my ..

pockets".....
It might be high time to let the manufacturers know...."t'was the winter of our discontent..." Make your 30 bucks count. I'll start off (I hope I don't get tossed off this forum!)
1/10th scale:

Datsun 510
Porsche 550
Porsche 935/78 "Moby Dick"
Porsche 356 FHC (and DHC for kitty)
Porsche 914/6/8
Porsche 944 or 928
Meyers Manx (dune buggy)
Ferrari 365 GTB Daytona (not the fake Miami Vice GTS poser..it was a 'vette in drag)
Ferrari 250 GTO (Gran Turismo Omologazione) or SWB...I know Kyosho did one, but it was in some oddball 1/9th or 1/8.5th scale
Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa (pontoon fenders of course)
Ferrari 250 GT Berlinetta Lusso
any Ferrari other than that butt ugly "Enzo" (who's namesake is probably rolling in his grave)
1940 Ford Pick-up Truck
UOP Shadow Can-Am ( it's very low so it'll have to mount on a Tamiya F-1 chassis)
Facel Vega
Lotus Elan
Lotus Super Seven
Lotus Elite
Lotus Eclat

Okay, it's somebody else's turn.

PS. To Admin or to any of the Mods...I seriuosly think this thread could be useful feedback to HPI, Tamiya, etc. Please delete, sticky or re-write as you see fit. Thanks

Personally, I prefer more "sci-fi" (perhaps "heavily stylized" is a better term?) than realistic bodies - the Illuzion series from J Concepts is a perfect example of this. WED: Keep it up. Once I get through the unpainted bodies I already have (there's a lot of 'em ), a few Illuzion bodies will be next on the shopping list.

Hey Harley and HRD,
Good call on the UPS truck. How about they include a Dale Jarret driver figure?

i have the stuff to make my own bodies except for a heat source. i can carve a plug for the ups body but i haven't figured out how to heat the lexan in a uniform fashion.

I heard an old oven will work. Basically make two frames and sandwich the lexan between them, then heat it up on one of the racks of the oven till it droops then let 'er rip in the vacuum form.

....I think.....

I like the second gen Camaro, had a '78 and would love to have it in 1/10th, as for the different Z's ABD hobby makes most of them Horizon just wont import them and Horizon is their US importer. I have contacted both Horizon and ABC about this and the only response I get is try a Hong Kong online shop which I can only find in Chinese of course.....

I want a first gen RX 7 FB
