Anyone know of anywhere to score some 1/32 Impala/Caprice or MonteCarlo bodies?
Not the NASCAR type, but the big road hogs of yesteryear.
Off the shelf or resin kit, any help would be great. :thumbsup:

Usajdm,
I am a 1/32 bottom dweller who has switched from 1/32 back to ho now but, I still have some 1/32 Eldon slots that I am customizing. Here is a Charger that will be getting a Metallic Copper fade down the hood, top and trunk this Monday.

Eldon may be just the ticket for you. They made slot cars in the 60s up to the early 1970s. 67 & 69 Camaros, 66,67,68,69 Chargers, 66,69 Mustangs, a 60s something Dodge Pickup, Coronets....etc....Just do a search on ELdon on the bay.
Also there is someone here on HT that has a all Eldon site and has lots of pictures posted up on part of it.
Hope this helps and if you have any questions just send me a PM. See us ho guys aren't all that bad. LOL
On a last note here. My Dad was heavily into building Models in the 60s,70s, 80s, and 90s but, because of his glaucoma he can't do all that detail now. He has lots of cool old models at his house on display. My Favorite is his perfectly painted and built 1/32 1965 Metalic Blue Impala. He had one along with a 1956 Buick in 3 tone green (he has a 1/32 model of that also). So if you got to have it....check out the bay for 1/32 models...you could get lucky!

You could try this link. He has a '65 Impala body listed and pictured under "Stock Cars" - the body is configured as a stock automobile with door handles and windshield wipers, so it doesn't have to necessarily become a Nascar version.
