I know this is a drag racing forum but I have been looking for someone that does resin bodies of the newer NASTRUCKS. Please let me know if you know anyone that cast them. I'm not sure if Hot Wheels or Matchbox makes a car that can be used to cast one. Thanks for any help. Joe

I'll try to look into that Joe. Somewhere around here I do have a few of the older diecast NASTRUCKs, but a lot of them (Like the Chevy) I think are still pretty much the same as they used to be, aren't they? Do they run the 'splitters' on the front now like the cars do? Have only watched a few of the truck races over the last few years so would need to 'refresh' myself on ehat they look like.  That would be easy to fix tho if they do. What chassis would you be looking to mount them on? Most of the diecasts swap over pretty easy with 4 gear chassis, and sometimes the long wheelbases on Tyco chassis, but on Tjets they would probly require a LOT of shortening of the body AND the wheelbase, and actually might start to look out of proportion.  Let me know, and I'll see if I can help ya out. Ron (Bondo)  |

Ron, I hope that you can help me out on the bodies. I would like to put them on LL chassis. I have NASCAR bodies in the Sprint Cup series that I run and they are LL. I'm not sure if the truck bodies that you are talking about look the same as they do now. I think all makes are in the truck races - ford, chevy, dodge and toyota. Let me know what you find out. Joe
