I think their all formed out of North Richland Hills, Texas ...at least that is what I was told a while back! I need to scope out their dumpster for the kulls.:thumbsup:

There are actually two manufactures that make bodies. WCM, and Graphic Results. I havent tried any of Graphic Results bodies but they look pretty good. The mojority of racers use the WCM bodies and as far as a car bodies go...I have found the Ford bodies to be the most durable. The Dodges have a tendancy to crack and Chevys are almost as good as the Fords, but thats just from what I have seen!:thumbsup:

I think you can also get a body for car out of germany or someplace in europe bout 200 but very nice and aero dynamic look closely at ncs pics of grand national cars you will spot a couple

Do they have some curvy rear quarter panels like the 67 has?

cant blame your driving on your eyes Tanner...just talked to a guy tonight about those and i was 2 weeks behind getting a hold of 2 that he sold

The body you are thinking of from Germany is the CEC ford. They are a great body and very well balanced....however they dont make them any more and from what I understand some people tried to get ahold of the mold but it is damaged.

Unless there is a copyright on the mold... well you know.

Willy i always see someone talking about back pouring.What does this mean?

Ok.....I'm having a vision of how the mold fell off the table.:rolleyes:Hmmmmm

I assume those last molds had QSAC numbers on them?????

Taking a body ie Chevy, Dodge, Ford that you have on hand and pouring resin into it to produce a production mold.

Willy i always see someone talking about back pouring.What does this mean?

Edit means that in stead of producing your on mold you make a mold from the item say for instance a already formed body :dude:

its kinda a low down low budget way to produce a copy cheap

Why Can't we get somthing like these?
We need some updated bodies!

I know it involves $$$$

I need this in a 1/4 scale please!

What would it be called if someone?Fiberglassed over a body.Which would be there own plug or mold. Then vaccum form off that.Would it be called reverse engineering?

Willy i was busting you.Mike sorry i got you to post.

Stealing
If you copy someone else's work by any means without there permission you would be a thief ! . I was a victim of this years ago.There is fine line to walk here.

I need this in a 1/4 scale please!actully the 1/4 german body looks very close to the 1/10th protoform HD almost to the point were it was copied

QSAC Legal????

Yes technically it is lega. They dont have a stamp though.

I would like to see us go in the direction of something like those 1/10 th scale bodies. Maybe not quite so "downforcey". I dont know if thats a word! But I would like to see that way before we run shopping carts....I mean COT's!


Chance

Yes technically it is lega. They dont have a stamp though.

...then it wouldn't be legal; technically. :)

:thumbsup:yes it still is qsac gave the manufactor till this year to stamp the bodys they have not gotten up to par the stamp was for there protection not to affect us

I don't think it would be legal.The window angle is wrong.Unless there was a rule change.

The context of my response is in regard to back-filled bodies that have not been formally approved by QSAC.

It was not intended in any way, shape or form to be directed toward any other body (e.g. CEC or any of the bodies offered by WCM).

The discussion regarding the formal stamping of the bodies took place on this formal over a year ago; and as you stated, was pushed-out to the year 2009.

I apologize if this didn't come across in the way I intended.

How do we know that back poured bodies aren't being run now?

:thumbsup:to my knowledge there are no current bodies that have been back poured including the cec that are running now so they are legal but looks like if they want the cec thats what they will have to do

How do we know that back poured bodies aren't being run now?if they will or should i say most cut corners on mold making and back pour they will probly cut corners on the quality lexan to and that will show up just as bad

if they will or should i say most cut corners on mold making and back pour they will probly cut corners on the quality lexan to and that will show up just as bad

Exactly...

And I believe there were a few of these available and sold to QSAC members
sometime during the past three years. They were either pulled too hot or were pulled with an off-brand of lexan and cracked quite easily.

most of us buy direct from the manufacturer or at least i do so you will not get a body that has been back poured unless the guy on the street corner is in to 1/4 scales now LOL

Great point; and one I hope everyone would follow as well.

There were a couple of guys that ran the CEC bodies, but most everyone at MPR runs the WCM bodies.

Joe

I want to know when a Toyota body is going to be available

probly never

i say that because look what bodys we have now monte carlo, intrepid, tauras they are a little out of date but they are great performing bodys for what we need and have at the momment it cost a lot of $$$$$ to make a mold that isnt worth it right now you have to look at it from the manufacturer side a little i would rather those guys come up with some nice upgrades for chassis performance than a new body which with the right decals you can make it what you want

There are still quite a few guys running the CEC Ford. I saw a few in Easley a couple weeks ago. I know that Brent was running one. If I could get my hands on one I would too!

You should contact Mark Aldrich.

I know at one time (2006) he was able to order some of the CEC Taurus bodies.
