Hey modelers,
I'm wondering if any of you have ever come across a 1/8 scale (or thereabouts) 55 chevy body?? I am looking for just the front clip section or hood for a 55 car. I'm playing around with two ideas for a project, the front area needs to be around 13-15 inches, it can either be the whole front clip or just the hood. If I can't find anything, I'm gonna have to mold one and make it out of fiberglass. Any ideas, I've been online and no luck yet??!!

In my 35 years of modeling, I have never seen anything bigger than 1/16 th scale in a 55. Some years ago they (Monogram) did a 57 in 1/12th, but never 1/8th that I know of.

I saw one on YouTube that a guy did, but based on the video, it looks like he may have modified a smaller one, but I think he said it was a Macomber (sp) body??? Wait, sorry, I should actually say RC car (not models). I have been out of RC's for a long time but have a 1/10th body for an RC.
