Ironside Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 Thats cool I have an 89 Bolink pancar I raced way back, right now I have a 89 monte carlo body #3 goodwrench painted to match and stood in line for 3 hours to get Dale E to sign the windsheild. Might have to see if I can bring it all back to life. I've been racing and messing with RC for 25yrs now.http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Venable Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Colin, if you get a GP going, I'll be down for 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carguygibby Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 Banzai got back to me. Told me they have one left but can order more.They are willing to ship as many as we want for one shipping price but offered no other discount.I'm not presently in a position to do a GP as I'm away from home too much just now.Also, I'm not sure if there would be a substantial saving as the bodies would have be re-sent to everyone who orders one.Colinhttp://www.starquestclub.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted January 5, 2011 Report Share Posted January 5, 2011 You could ship the bodies for $11 or less by USPS flat rate, or I think even cheaper first class. Save about $15 to 20 this way vs having them shipped to you individually. If no one wants to step up the plate to do something like this, I could. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTieaga Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I'm interested. How did these cars not catch on as "kind of a big deal"? Makes me feel special but then pissed off at the same time lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 This thing shipped stupid fast. I was expecting to wait a month or more. Showed up on the 7th, but I missed the delivery so I picked it up yesterday: http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/January_2011/HPIM1734.jpghttp://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/January_2011/HPIM1732.jpg The front bumper and airdam are a separate piece, I'm not sure how they expect me to go about mounting it. Nonetheless, I'm pretty pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmyers151 Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 It didn't come with any paperwork at all, nothing, haha. The body itself is about 7-1/2" wide and 18" long according to my ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzone Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 yeah thats pretty common for some of the smaller boutique body makers to have a seperate part for bumpers etc, it makes the molds more accurate! just attach the nose with automotive silicone, double sided tape or velcro. my two turned up today, EMS shipping such as this is usually under a week anywhere in the world, thats why its expensive, as it's quick, tracked & insured.. i've already got my first one cut out and mounted on a TA03F, looks awesome so far ps if you're gonna paint any black parts such as the window molds, do them before painting the rest of the car, as black will show through otherwise!

redzone Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 oh and use water & dishwashing liquid and a sponge to clean the mold release agent off the inside before spraying, and pull the overspray film from the outside before applying the stickers!

dmyers151 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yeah, I've never painted anything like this before. Any suggestions on paint types? I was just gonna use stuff I would use on a model car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzone Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 yeah you have to use paint meant for polycarbonate (lexan) as normal paint will fall off due to it not bonding properly and also not being flexible.. i almost always use Tamiya PS paints plus theres other brands like pactra etc, just make sure its meant for painting the INSIDE of a poly/lexan shell. there's a few how to's on www.tamiyaclub.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88TSI_Rob Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Subscribed. I'm in for one, either through a Group purchase or if Dean wants to split shipping with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hmmm, looks like it's me. I'll get a GP list going in the the GP forum within 24 hours, and link back here. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I should have emailed Banzai on the cost of the combined shipping last night. Apparently these things weigh up 2.6lbs (ha) in shipping weight. We'll see if it's a big enough savings. I did check USPS and looks like they can do shipping for under $10. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jisleyjr Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 It didn't come with any paperwork at all, nothing, haha.
