Mad Modeler Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 There's one in the Monogram 1/24 Street T with gold chrome. I think that's the right name. It's the small scale version of the 1/8 Golden T with a trailer. Not a lot of detail but it is a skull. The version of that kit with regular chrome is about to be re-released but I don't know if it's in that one. Pretty sure someone in the aftermarket has them but don't recall who. Maybe Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland? Here's a couple of links to Fotki albums that have R&M's lists and pictures: http://public.fotki.com/davetoups/aftermar...cas_and_miniat/ http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/replicas__miniature/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I've used the "headlights" off of a Hotwheels RigorMotor 1/64 diecast. You get two shift knobs for 99 cents or less. The RigorMotor just got re-released in 2006, so they're all over right now too. It's a ripoff of Grandpa Munster's dragster - a coffin-shaped dragster. They're a little big - wouldn't fit in a 1/25 scale palm - but aren't cartoonishly large, especially for trad hot rods. Another kit source is the Monogram 1/24 '30 Woodie. That has a chrome shifter & skull knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
