JConcepts 1966 Chevy II Nova drag racing body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the 1966 Chevy II Nova drag racing body shell. The lid shows off an extensive sharp-edged restyle based in part on the Super Nova concept vehicle. In general, proportions are squared up and features including a bold grille and semi-fastback roofline highlight the shape. Humped fenders in an angular rear-end were reminiscent of other Chevrolets from the era of style. The main shell is comprised of three pieces which includes intricate detail for the front and rear. The front-end closure shows off the single headlight style with deep recessed sections along the grille and front bumper to faithfully replicate the original. The rear closure section includes bumper detail, trunk works and vertical taillight cues. Aligning the front and rear sections are critical, but after a little paint and detailing, the Chevy comes together in magical fashion. In addition, the design team added a rear wing sectional to the project to bring the drag racing inspiration to life. The two-piece rear wing is trunk mounted with a lower support and upper wing with high-speed stabilising ribs for added performance. Included in each body set is a 1966 Chevy Nova II decal sheet, front-end grille closure piece, rear-end trunk/bumper closure, rear wing option including lower support and upper wing spoiler and the paint mask for all windows and rear wing, 3mm mounting hardware. As always, each body set is backed with JConcepts customer support and racing heritage. The Chevy II Nova measures a 13″/330mm wheelbase and the inside dimensions of the body are 10.75″/273mm wide front and 11″/297mm rear. The body is built for a 2WD SCT wheelbase length and narrowed to more resemble the original 1:1 counterpart.

JConcepts L1 Layla LMP body shell

Coming from JConcepts is the L1 Layla LMP body shell for 1/10th formula pan cars such as the Team Associated F6 and the Xray X1. The body has a low-slung appearance and offers complete chassis coverage and a front chin spoiler starts the design for improved steering response and front-end grip. The L1 rises over the suspension and blends with the tyre covers while the closed cockpit design resembles the LMP1 vehicles of the latest generation. The wrap-around window design and full length rear stabilising and rollover fin take over as the design focal point. Over the rear tyres, the shell drops off to close off the rear fender while a recessed area allows room for the rear wing option. The L1 is loaded with louvers, scoops and fine detailing to ensure not only authentic looks, but dedicated function. The separate rear adjustable wing is a two-piece design that attaches with included 3mm hardware. The top element of the wing supplies the down-force helping the L1 whisk through the turns and the side stand-offs bring the height to operating level and helps provide that all important stability. Included in each body set, L1 “Layla” decal sheet, two-piece rear wing, three-piece paint mask for wrap-around window, ten-piece 3mm screw and nut hardware. Body mounts, hardware, conversion or other necessary items for the final fit are not included, however the soon-to-be-released JConcepts part number #2468 contains all parts to convert RC10F6 to a LMP ready vehicle.
