What Bit would you like to see?

Ok here is a big question for you if you had a chance to ask for any Bit Char-G body you wanted what would it be? What if your favorite car body and why would you want it as a bit. (this excludes cars you own).

Give me a list of your top 5!

1)Speed Buggy (cartoon)
2)Deathmobile (Animal House)
3)Elenor (Gone in 60 sec)
4)Jeep Wrangler (real)
5)Mystery Machine (cartoon)
Bonus)Golf cart (why not)

Not necessarily in that order.

I like movie and cartoon cars.

Volkswagen

Because it is cult and I have seen never a Pimp did look very nice. (Original bit Car-G wheelbase)
It is also very difficult to build

Well the reason you might wonder I am asking about this is because I have happed to work in clay for much of my life. I mold and have been around working with it in sculpting and even sold some of my pieces.

I said that to say this now that I have gotten into molding I think I can combine the two and make a few custom bodies out of the clay and then mold my own cars. That small of detail will take some time so I can only do a few types. But if I can come up with a few cars that you guys like then I can send some out (at just the cost to help me get more molding material). That’s kinda my plan since the amount of bit bodies is getting limited every day.

So I was thinking of putting the lists together and picking the top 5 to have custom bodies built.

SG what Batmobile do you like I was thinking of that one but the ol' school bat mobile then once the body is made it could be modified into a Caddie or other car?

I am really thinking about a Willy's Coup but not sure of the year. So get your lists in and I might get some bodies out soon!

I can ask on "Bit-Racing-World/Germany-Board" the Top 10 and this post if a result is available. Have you interested it?

I didn't pick a Batmobile, but if I had to, I'd go with the original.

The Deathmobile is where its at! I think it is made from an old Lincoln?

Yeah, it was me that said batmobile...Like the barris original. another one to think about would be a Porsche 917.

A 49 Merc would provide endless lead sled potential. Maybe even that Caddy ZZ top had Cadzilla done from?

BTW how small have you done clay modeling? I did a couple of Dirt Modified and Late model bodies for a vacume former that I was trying to build (it got put on hold). The reason I ask is if you've done a bunch of modeling this is probably not news, but, I have a friend who does a lot of gaming pieces and he swears by using a piece of that green floral foam as a buck. He can add water and keep the clay moist so that he doesn't have to work as quickly. But then he uses either air dry clay or low heat clay...I never asked why, he does have a kiln so there must be another reason. Oh well, good luck.

I don't use water based clay but oil based it never dries out. The clay I use is what modelers use to make the clay molds from that they kiln dry. you cant use this clay in a Kiln it will just melt.
