I'm looking to do my first inline chassis (well... my first in a few decades anyway) and one of the cars that has always appealed to me is the Harvey Aluminum Special. Are these bodies out there? Anyone have any other F1/Indy type cars (pictures) they especially like that I can check out? Thanks!

Patto's Place is a good starting point for most bodies you can't find at your local track or at Electric Dreams.
You should have a choice of 1/32 or 1/24.

Be aware they are usually PTEG plastic not Lexan. Paint accordingly.

I hope that Mr. Fiedler will tell us where he got his example.
That's thirty minutes away. I'll be there in ten.

John,
I have a Lancer sitting here. I'll scrape the dust off the package it and sell it you for $4.

A true vintage one from the House of Warmack, circa 1967:
Dynamic body, Warmack chassis, rewound Mabuchi FT16, Corben guide.

Wow, Philippe... that's a beauty (and with my kind of motor to boot)!
Mike, that would be fine... I sent you a PM.

John, these bodies have a shorter wheelbase when compared to the other Indy/F1 bodies around. But they do look cool!

Hi Bill,
I agree about their look... wide, squat... cool. On the wheelbase, gotcha. That's why I would build the car around the body and motor (a big motor!).
