nkempf99 Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Is there anywhere to buy just parts on their own? Like who sells just a small block chevy or a nice set of just block hugger headers?
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Search Ebay and the aftermarket resin manufacturers.
MGL Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Is there anywhere to buy just parts on their own? Like who sells just a small block chevy or a nice set of just block hugger headers?Check some of these sites, http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/71864-aftermarket-directory/ , also http://www.modelroundup.com/ , http://www.hobbylinc.com/plastic-models all have aftermarket parts. One thing to be aware of is a lot of the aftermarket parts are coming from guys like us that have regular day jobs and do this on the side so if you see something you want get it as it may not exist next week. I kept putting off getting some Ross Gibson engines and now I can't find what I wanted.
disabled modeler Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Another option is to put a wanted post here...maybe someone will have them and be willing to part with them...cant hurt to try.
fog cutter Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 you'll hook some fish that way. some people make begging for parts a full time occupation.
disabled modeler Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 There are a lot of very nice people here that are willing to help or trade parts for other parts...I have done it countless times many times Ill send a part to someone for free they need just to help out. I have a huge parts needs list myself like many here do...some parts can be easy to find while others just are not...One cant know if they do not try.
nkempf99 Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Thanks for the input guys. I think I'm going to try my hand at casting some parts. No harm in having extras laying around to experiment with. If anyone has anything in particular they are looking for let me know and I'll see if I have it
disabled modeler Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 LOL... I have a HUGE list but there all old and rare parts I need to find.
