1/24 and 1/25 Model Kit Body Guide
for Parma's 1/24 FCR Chassis

This is a listing of bodies from various brand model kits that will easily fit on the Parma FCR brass inline slot car chassis with no or little modifications.  This way, you can very easily create your own scale 1/24 - 1/25 scale slot cars with little hassle or time involved.  Most of the bodies attach to the FCR chassis using Velcro but sometimes with a tight fitting body, you will need to use alternate methods such as drilling a hole and attaching the body using small screws.

Dimensions for the FCR Chassis:

Width of Chassis at Body Mounts - 2 5/8 inches
Wheelbase either 4 inch for #577 or 4.5 inch for #578 with slight adjustments for about 1/8 inch using adjusta-bushings

velcro.jpg (17257 bytes) A roll of Velcro such as this one pictured can go a long way for mounting many model kit bodies to the FCR Chassis from Parma.  You get over 5 feet which will do many, many cars plus it is a lot cheaper this way then buying the Parma FCR Velcro strips.  They are basically the same thing.

These rolls are make by Sticky Back® Velcro.  You can find them in most craft and large department stores.  Some stores include Walmart, Ames, Lowe's, etc.

  1994 and up SN95 Ford Mustangs from the 1994, 1995 Mustang GTs (yellow, blue) to the snap 1995 Boss Mustang (black).  Also, the 1999 Mustang Cobra, Super Stallion bodies will fit including the '94 '96 Mustang Cobra Convertibles These bodies fit the 4inch FCR chassis nicely and you can use velcro.  One suggestion is if you wish to use the larger Pro-Track tires #319, 320 is to use the 1999 Mustang Cobra since they have wider front and rear wheel well openings.
