I am looking for a 73-77 Corvette body for racing 1/24 slot cars.

So, if you have any ideas I'm all ears.

FYI Red Fox has a 1/24 Corvette DTM for 2021 ISRA "Production" class but not the year that you are looking for (to be honest I am not sure what year it is supposed to represent).

Street, or race? Vacuum formed, or hardbody?

Years ago, Parma made a Greenwood Racing Corvette in .040 lexan for rental cars. It was the '74 to '82 style body with the rubber rear bumper cap.

 

It was probably available in thinner lexan for racing bodies as well. Probably very difficult to find now, but you might get lucky.

 

Currently available are model kits of '75 Corvette convertible by MPC in 1/25 scale and a '78 Corvette (pace car) coupe in 1/24 from Revell.

i want one - thanks for finding it.

There are also several Mustang bodies listed, but no pictures or details.  I would like to find some decent 65/66 mustang fastbacks, not stepped on bodies, but something close to scale.   I would email to see what bodies they are, but could find no email link on the website.    Let us know how your order works out.

Here's a listing of what NEAN bodies,Eagle carrys.

I've been meaning to order one, to see what a $2.67 retail price, PVC body looks like.

I, for one, have never heard of PVC as a slot car body material.

I thought PTEG was the material to use, if you don't have the equipment or money, to pull Lexan®.

The NCP picture of the Vette shows dimpling around the front window area.

Does anyone know if that's molded in, or just something to do with a covering on the plastic?

I wonder if, like happens to me from time to time, an auto correct turned PTEG into PVC? Or perhaps bad handwriting given to a very helpful person to upload and set up the store?  

[MSwiss]

FWIW, they are referred to as PVC, on both the Eagle and ERI websites.

The top pic, below, is ERI's (good) pic of the PVC 'Vette.

IMO, it looks nice.

I would be careful with the type of paint to use on it.

Stick with water-based.

Below is the Lexan® version.

I assume that's a film on it, and if indeed, Lexan®, a more aggressive paint could most likely be used.

[Rotorranch]

It appears that they are available in either Lexan, or PVC. Lexan $6.00, PVC $2.79.

Steve Smith, Smith Scale Speedway of Charlestown, NH, has been molding his 1/32 scale Boss Bodies in clear PVC for years.

[Dave Crevie]

PVC is poly vinyl chloride, same thing drain pipes are made of.

[MSwiss]

Drain pipes???

Very interesting.

I thought it was only made for drag strip legs. Lol
