It just hit me while I'm looking at the seven Lola T-70 bodies I've got for sale on eBay. Which IS my favorite? The K & B metallic blue slot always had a little extra "Oomph" in the curvature of the front fenders that is just a "Hair" different than all the others. I think is Eldon T70 is "spot on", the MC/Unions are nice for the chassis but body is small due to being 1/25 and a little narrow as is the AMT T70. The Rare Renwal "Golden Lola" is the best total kit but the body not quite right. In clear plastic the Lancer Mecom Walt Hansgen T70 has an excellent profile but I favor the Skip Hudson "Lancer Lola" especially painted silver as the overall "Best" of the T70s, the only one I Don't have, although I've had three before. Thanx for listening, John

I have a couple AMT kits and bodies and a Union T-70. The AMT's will be a challenge and the Union kit is just a straight forward build. The others you mention, KB and Lancer are slot car bodies and very hard to find plus converting the clear body to say a AMT chassis would be quite a project. Lloyd Asbury, Owner of Lancer and Mold Maker, was a close family friend and came over for dinner as well as hung out at Santa Ana Raceways our shop a lot. Great guy with a talent few had or have. Making Vacuform Molds is a very tedious job and requires a lot of talent and patience. His son is active in the Slot car Blog and other aspects of slot car racing today, although he is a modeler I dont believe he does Bodies. Chris

I've looked at it, yet to be built (along with the 6 or 7 other "Union" kits). It looks like a nice enough kit to me.
