Re: On The Bench - CHEAP Slot Cars?
I ended up biting the bullet and ordering the repro windshield for 19.99 plus shipping- I vac formed a really decent one-(after about 6 tries) but then figured what the heck might as well do it correct since I had so much time in getting the body ready for paint. Well I actually like the shape or contour of my formed windshield better- the repop is flat or "squareish" on top - I don't remember it being that way as a kid, and it didn't have the little posts on the bottom that index into the interior so was kinda hard to mount and needed some trimming but it's got the windshield wiper and corner posts so it's ok. I think maybe he made the mold with a 3d printer- hence the flat bottom-no posts. On the vwomps I can spill the beans now- ive been watching two of them on e-bay, they were around 12 bucks complete...well just checked and the first one is now over 41 bucks! they end today and it will be interesting to see how high they go- I think you can still find em new for less than that- or at least all the parts- I know I've seen the steel chassis for 9.99 on somebody's site... I hope it's not all Naste members bidding each other up!. P.S. I think I posted the car pics under the wrong topic but I don't know how to move em.
