        Not really scratch built but I will ask for forgiveness later :unsure:

        The Strombecker body I have had for years and always meant to paint plus I had a spare strombecker brass chassis.  I opted to use a 1/32 set up which has worked out well.  Motor is a Plafit Fox 11 (25k). Gears are slot-it. Wheels and inserts are BWA – though they are not quite right but they were in my spare box.  Tires are DArts.  Windscreen is cracked but a Future treatment has improved it while I look for another one (I know, good luck).

        Anyway, thought I would share.

              She runs very well and benefits from the modern parts switch.  Other models where I used the old axle/gear set up don’t run as well.

              Looks nice Dave.

              The scratch32 crew were debating a class in the new year that might run vintage chassis & parts… in the end the consensus was that it might just be too expensive since very few had vintage 1/32 scale cars… but an interesting proposal nonetheless…

              Keep ’em com’n!!!

              Looks great!

              Thanks for the inspiration. I have a pristine Strombecker Chaparral 2D and a few Eldon bodies from 1968 that could use a few updates.
