Woo! first post! I've actually been snooping round here a while checking out some of the amazing work on here.
I build/supply/race 1/12 oval cars here in the UK, these are generally more function than form, shapeless blobs of bodywork designed to handle rather than look scale.
There is a Lotus/Caterham 7 body that fits onto a shorter than normal wheelbase chassis, again not very detailed but it does the job...
Here's one I've built with a couple of goodies added. the side exhaust is an IKEA pen with plastic tubing pipes, the headlights are from a Tamiya Hornet and the grille is a plastic cross stitch backing.
The windscreen is still a work in progress and will eventually be made in Aluminium gringrin
