New body offering from Smilin Ray!

Postby btaylor » Wed Oct 15, 2014 7:46 am

Just got an e mail from Ray, he has brought another body into his line up, A 1954 chevy! should make a great Pan-Am style car, or Maybe a good bomber also. Here is the link

Got the same email and I guess great minds think alike: Carrera Panamericana car in a correct year! This is on the "must get" list :banana-dance:

Thank you Bob. I am way behind.

For me it has "Beach Racer" all over it.

No problem! Glad I could help someone find a new source. I have bought several bodies from Ray, he does a great job, and the price is fair. I had been buying his strombecker car tires from him. My current VNFR Car is a Fury from Ray.

I did a '49 Mercury NASCAR with one of his bodies, and I have a couple of Hudsons waiting to get done, too. Good stuff.

I have the AMX that was passed on to me by "Moose". Been eyeing that 56 Plymouth for awhile and not this new Chevy.

I would love a 53 Studebaker coupe. I wonder if there is any chance he can do one of those. I just had a good look at a box full of his body kits and am very impressed. So, when the budget allows, a Fabulous Hudson Hornet will be in the works. Of course, it is uneconomical to pay the postage for one when a few can be shipped for the same price, eh? At least that's what I keep telling my wife.

I just took delivery of the Plymouth Savoy...this new old Chevy looks the business however you use it.

...and a 53 Studebaker coupe would have my attention, wasn't there a kitset of some sort?
