These are 2 Li'l Red Wagon paper bodies I did. The brush painted metallic blue p/u has clear window's & a nicely detailed paper interior with seats & nice dashboard details. The years were not to kind to the green one that was converted to a Van using paper & supported with toothpicks glued in.These were from the Auto World (Kovelski era) book on HO racing mods.

Here are the pix for the above ! Thanx, Neal:dude:

Miracle they held up all this time!! If someone bet me 2 years ago they made slotcar bodies out of paper I would have lost my shirt!! And to think, the mini lindys were just one aisle over at the hobby store!!! :tongue: You were creative, weren't you???

I have a slot car mag from the late 60's that has the LRW body cut on the back cover.
Pretty cool

I didnt follow your link till I uploaded the same pic, I had it on my pc but couldnt find it till today

I have often wondered what would happen if we made slot cars from beer can aluminum. Crashes would cause real damage. Body work would be real. Cheap too.

I even came up with a motto. "Crash all you want, we'll drink more"!!!!

Aluminum bodies...very good idea. Would also like a resin Pinto that blows up when it gets hit in the rear....BOOM!
