I'm going to build 3 RC cars for the WCR as the top 3 awards. If anyone has not built their car and the body is in as new condition I need it. Oh, and yes I, know AA has them, I just don't feel good enough about them to deal with them.

Hi Joe. No problem in dealing with us because we NEVER had the bodies! You are off the hook for your comment!
JoeSharp
I know there are still more RC bodies out there and I will need one more. Sooo. If anyone has another one I would realy like to have it for the event.

Yeah it was your former employee Treadway who had them after he went out on his own. He was the first to try to improve the AA image here.

Ouch!

I think I have another that I started to paint but never finished. I think it only has the liquid mask that I use and no paint but is trimmed.

Let me know if you need it. Also, I can offer my services as a painter too if need be.

If you have one to start out with, couldn't you just make a plaster cast and then vacumn mold more??

That has to be how they were done in the first place.

Then you could take the plaster mold, add M471's to it and make one for me.

Hey David, I would be happy to take the body off your hands. What do you want for it?
Wes, these cars are 471. I'll post some pic after I get home. I don't think that a narrow body would take the chassie we are using.

Yeah, I'm still here though I mostly lurk around the 914 forums more than post. Until my car is whole and working again, I don't feel I have too much to offer.

Yup I agree. the M04L chassis is too wide to a narrow body but IMHO too narrow for a wide body. though it could just be that these are 12" flares and not 7" ones.

For a few pics of the shells, check out my RC Page... http://www.airbostongraphics.com/galRC.htm

This one amazes me everytime I see it. I thought it was a real car when I first saw it... couldn't figure out why it was in that gallery... lol

Sooo... I've been propositioned by David.

I think we may have our first sponsor for the event. I still will have to talk to the commitee to see what we need to do about it.

That one was practice for what was supposed to be the next 914 shell. I masked off the shell but never finished the project. Maybe another time.

Just let me know Joe. I don't have much to give, but I can spare a little paint and some time.
JoeSharp
Your time is worth a lot of money. I really think it would be the best option. At this time we have no logo or as for that goes, anything relating to the event. I was just trying to get a head start by getting the bodies.
Which reminds me we still need one more.
JoeSharp
Bump for one more body.

I have one, but I'm afraid the current conversion ration and shipping fees would kill the deal ... ?

JoeSharp
Wolf: Figure out what it cost and PM me and I'll deside. I would love to have the prize for Best Of Show come from you. I once stole Joe O's WCC 05 hat, had Meng take it to Singapor and mail it back to him. Soo.. I think it would be apprapo.
JoeSharp
I have all 3 bodies now, thanks to

gd914
djm914
and Gustl.
I will mail out the checks today except for Gustl's, have to figure out how to pay him for it.
JoeSharp
This is wounderful. We have the 3 car bodies that I wanted. /L. Linda Horne is going to send Gustl his money. djm914, David is gonig to paint them and already has one of the bodies.
Sooo... I only have 2 problems
I need the address of Eric Shea and David so I can make the other payments and have the car bodies shipped to David.
Once again I would like to send everyone a BIG THANK YOU for all the help in this.

Gustl, that car looks very familiar. biggrin.gif

Joe Sharp, PM sent.
JoeSharp
David: I forwarded your address to Gustl.
I loved your reply and the idea of the rusty teener. Made me think I need another one for the car that need the most improvment. We'll see this Saturday.
