Hi Dan, yes I do sell some 1:32 scale bodies. Finding the old '77 MPC kit was really hard, do you know how long they were produced for?

Graphics on at last!

I couldn't face getting them as messy as in the movie so they're only a little dirty.

Cool! I would love to see one in 25th scale as well...I'd buy one

Mike, leave it to you to bring up the B-Body Pointac thing :lol:

For sure, a Grandville would be nice

Cheers, Ian

chase-cars, That kit was only produced Once!!

And as far as I can tell by quantity, was only in the MPC catalog for One year.

I got mine New in a store in Pittsburgh, Pa, back in Early '80!!

Either McRory's, Zayer's Or GC Murphy/Murphy-Mart

None of those are in business now!!

I have only seen 4-5 more since, and have not been lucky enough to get them!!

Hopefully MPC/Round2 will re-issue it some day soon.

If they do I will get at least 2 cases!!

Right now, the only problem I have in buying one of your resin bodies is a way to

pay for it. No creditcards or paypal.

Also, sadly, right now, International US Postal Money Orders are not good in the UK

the last I checked!

Here's the whole reason for building the 1:32 bodyshell, those countless hours of research, worry, pestering people and money spent.

Actions speak louder than words, and this in action shows how different it is to a normal slot car. Click the picture for a youtube video. Watch out for the '77 Dodges as pursuit police cars, and a classic Hollywood crash at 1 minute 12 seconds!

just give the decals a thin wash of acrylic matt black, you can darken them down until they match the movie car. thats what i did.
