Mike Kucaba Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 The only 1/8th scale Camaro was made by Monogram and it is OOP and expensive.Some one on this forum has scratch built a 1969,but I don't think that's available for sale.

stump Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 i want to build a 1/8 scale drg car and cant find a wedsite that sells anything so please help me out guys me and my son really would like to build one and sugestions would help alot!! :D Hey Dalton, Yeah, not a whole lot available (as far as I'm aware) just at this time. But that may change in the future..... Check out Tim's stuff here @ TDR.....it will whet your apatite for now, and give you ideas of what you may need to buy later. There have been a few decent model kits over the years which lend themselves easily to building a drag version. The later year model Camaro Mike mentioned is probably the most suited, but yes....not the easiest or cheapest to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djway3474 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 You may want to contact that Micro Nitro guy. I have heard rumor that he will do custom work. I have some of his wheels that he sells and they are NICE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaMcGurk Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Dalton, if you're looking for an early Willys or Anglia body, TDR has both, they are cast in fiberglass and very accurate as far as scale goes. They also have an number of highly detail engines, blowers, carbs etc. Wheels are also available. Contact them for more info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
