DrKerry Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 As I'm usually not into bigger scale stuff I'm finding a need for one and not sure if one exists. What I'm looking for is a Chevy gasser type car, doesn't matter what kind of car as I'm looking mainly for suspension and engine. I want the engine to have a blower, and looking for a gasser type front suspension to where the nose will be up in front.. I've had a KrAzIe idea going through my head, yeah I know I get those a lot, but now I'm wanting to go through with it!!! Thanks for any and all help you can give!!If anyone has just the parts would help to, I have a few things to trade if they would be of interest!!I would need.....Complete engine and trans and all components to go with. headers, blower, carbs, and everything connected to it..Rear suspension, springs, shocks, tires, wheels and wheel backs etc..Front suspension, springs, shocks, tires, wheels and wheel backs etc..
Daddyfink Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Nobody kitted a "Gasser" in 1/16th scale. The closest would be to start with an AMT Chevy and start scavenging other kits for parts or get some 3D printed / resin parts.
DrKerry Posted April 8, 2017 Author Posted April 8, 2017 How big would the parts be compared to a 1/25th kit? Looking to fit an engine down into a 1/25th car.... thanks for the info Daddyfink!!!!!
Daddyfink Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 They are night and day as far as size goes. If you are building a Zingers type of car, 1/16 parts would be great for that! Here is a pic for reference. No mine models. Smallest is 1/25th, second is 1/16th and the biggest is 1/8th
DrKerry Posted April 9, 2017 Author Posted April 9, 2017 Kool, thanks for the comparison Jesse!!!! I think it'll work out ok!!!!!!! I want to do more of a Roth T-shirt type of car!!!!!!! Now to find a 1/16th scale gasser!!!!!!

astroracer Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) Kerry,Starting with any 1/16th scale hard top, '57, '55 or the Corvette you will have to fab up your own straight axle and ladder bars. I would suggest looking at the full size aftermarket suppliers. Speedway has a few of these "gasser style" front suspensions sold as kits and, looking at the pics you should be able to whip a good looking replica in 1/16th scale. OR... use one of the 1/25th scale kits as a guide. just measure everything and scale it up accordinglyMarkCheck out this thread... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/122253-my-112-scale-57-chevy-gasser/ Edited April 10, 2017 by astroracer

I do have a line on a 1/16th scaler that they have done some of that work on it already. Right now the biggest part of the project I'll need is a complete blower set up to make it happen.... intake, blower, belt, carbs, etc......
DrKerry Posted April 10, 2017 Author Posted April 10, 2017 This is similar to what I want to do........
astroracer Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I have some 1/16th stuff out of a funny car kit you can use. PM me. Mark
