evergreen conversion chart and amazon sizes


Recommended Posts

Okay so I'm on amazon to get some more evergreen plastics and I'm thrown off. Evergreen has a great chart to look at for sizing but when I go to amazon instead of there size being (for example) .080 they show (for example ) 5/16" is that the scale equivalent or the actual size? If anyone can help I would be great full. 

Thanks.

Thank you guys so much that was exactly what I needed. So now a new question what size would I use for frame rails. 

Depends on what you're building. Are you planning to use "U" channels, rectangular tube or plain old vanilla chunks of styrene bar stock for the rails?

I was looking at using I beam or C channel. I could also live with square stock, basically I'm open to suggestions I want to scratch build a rock crawler from some truck bodies I have laying around. I have two or three trick cabs I was given but no good frames beds or front ends so all that would be scratch built. Oh and I have never done a build that big before. (To be exact I have three builds under my belt and only one completed) most of my current build is scratched so I think I could pull it off but guidance could help it come out better.
