This may be a little sad but i have a real desire to put a chevy 55 on my track.

Does any one know were i can fnd a good / true 1/32 scale model of one of these dinosaurs?

I also want to build a hotrod or 2

Maybe American Graffeti had a bigger impact on me than i thought

Does anyone know were i can pick up some kits that i can scratch build a chassis for

Cheers Wayne

Hi Wayne.
It goes like this:
eBay.com, Toy & Hobbies, Plastic Kits - Automotive, Search 1:32 on the results, Scroll down until you find your '55 Chevy.
I've seen them. Very cool car.
Keep me posted,
Lowrider.

Hi.

Gunze Sangyo make a 55 Nomad that makes a nice slot car conversion.

They also do a Chev 57 Sport coupe, a 59 Chev coupe and some other odd stuff.

Monogram did a 55 Chevy coupe in the "snap it" and "Chromies" range has a funky scoop popping out of the hood.

For hot rods, there are quite a few 1933 Fords available as either "snap it" My first hotrod (blue) or the ZZ Topp car (red).

Most of these kits are out of production

. Happy hunting!

Cheers

Steve

Here are my motorised versions of the Monogram Snap-tite 55 and (unfinished) Gunze Nomad.

I have also done a '34 Ford Delivery (by MPC- I think) and when I can remember where it's hidden away I'll add some pics.

Mr.M

Apologies for the dust and carp photography!

That's an unusual layout Mr M, strange scenery in a '60's kitchenette stylee.
I think it could do with a 'No Through Road' sign at the crossing though, just to avoid those tiles getting chipped.

Retro is IN you know!

Mr Nerfee, will I be allowed to run these in "Non-Hornby Muscle"?

What a Mary Quant !

'course you can - if we had such a class!

I'm sure Mr Bun the baker, sorry, I meant Mr Baker the Chairman, would have something to say if you tried to run it in "Carrera Muscle".

Can they go the 'wrong way' around the track (intentionally) ?

What a Paul Anka, Anka, Anka!

You obviously spent too much time studying the decor to notice which way the cars were running!

Did I mean "Non Carrera Muscle"?

Or Fly Rally? Or was it BTCC Rally?

 

[j-c]

Well at least one of the cars in going the right way round the track - or is one going the wrong way?

....and very little dust by your normal standards!!

QUOTE ....and very little dust by your normal standards!!

My guess is that the cars weren't really running, I think Mr M had a cunning plan to place them that way round so that we could only see the clean, sorry, less dusty sides !!!

j-c ?

No comment about which class the car would go in? I'm sure the Chairman could justify it being in any class if it were his car ........

Any comment from Scott?
