The '57 is on the wish list.
Only Carrera make one.
$235 just for one.
It's cost $285 for four Scalextric cars and taken nearly a year to get them and I have to buy another two Scalextric cars to make an XY that looks like the one in the movie.
It alone requires two cars to get all the correct parts.
Then the biggest problem with the '57 is I'll have to hand build the twin carby and bug catcher unit that sticks out of the bonnet.
Convert it to right hand drive. Not as easy as the Challenger.
The Challenger thankfully has a seperate unit glued to the main dash with the instrument cluster and steering wheel combined.
The '57 has a high rake stance that's also a major headache to do with a slot car.
A static model would be easy but to retain a functional rear end is something that I still can't work out in my head ATM.
It's bad enough that I somehow have to create centreline racing wheels for the Challenger.
It's nearly as hard to customise a 1/32 scale car as a real one
That XY was a standard GTHO PH 3, shouldn't be too difficult to get a red model, yeah?
The 57 Chev was too cool, we all drooled over that, but my fav was the Challenger.
Signatures suck.
