carsntrucks4you Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hi, does somebody has any information or pictures of this body. Does it fits to the old Nichimo Shelby GT 500 chassis pan? Michael
paul alflen Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) MICHAEL, I'VE ONLY SEEN PICTURES OF A 1/12 SCALE GT500E FROM TDR. DO THEY MAKE IT IN 1/16 ALSO? I HAVEN'T BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THIS SECTION! IF IT IS IN 1/12 SCALE YOU CAN USE THE 1/12 YELLOW REVELL 1965 MUSTANG CHASSIS UNDER IT, OR THE 1/12 REVELL 65 SHELBY UNDER IT! BUT THOSE KITS ARE FROM THE LATE 1990'S? GUYS DOES TDR MAKE THE GT500E IN1/16TH SCALE??? P.M. DAYTONA TIM, OR GRAMPA MCGURK FOR A QUICK ANSWER!!! Edited May 24, 2011 by paul alflen
GrandpaMcGurk Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Here's a pic from the TDR catalog.....it's offered as a 1/12th RP body (not cast). Contact Tim directly at TDR Innovations to see if it will print well and pricing in 1/16th. Their E address is at the bottom of this post under my name. Edited May 25, 2011 by GrandpaMcGurk
DaytonaTim Posted May 29, 2011 Posted May 29, 2011 That is the nice thing about using rapid prototyping to print our parts. We have a lot more flexibility when it comes to scales. If you really wanted it, we could offer the bodies in 1/13th scale........but I don't think there are too many donor kits out there in this scale. Tim

Tim TIm: Do you do or can you do your prostreet rearends and clips in 1/25 ?
carsntrucks4you Posted May 30, 2011 Author Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks to all of you. I have a Nichimo kit of the Shelby GT500 in 1/16 at home with a destroyed body. I want to ask my question again does TDR 1/16 MISS E body fits the Shelby GT 500 kit from Nichimo.
DaytonaTim Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 TIm: Do you do or can you do your prostreet rearends and clips in 1/25 ? No, I am sorry we cannot. The current capabilities of the 3D printers just will not make strong reliable parts at the small scales. We can make the big part (bodies) in small scale, but we cannot make the small parts (frames, carbs, suspensions) in small scales.
DaytonaTim Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks to all of you. I have a Nichimo kit of the Shelby GT500 in 1/16 at home with a destroyed body. I want to ask my question again does TDR 1/16 MISS E body fits the Shelby GT 500 kit from Nichimo. The TDR bodies are just that, bodies. They were not made to fit any particular donor kit. The wheelbase and the tread widths for the Miss E matches those of the 1967/1968 Mustang. If the donor kit has the correct wheelbase and tread widths then it should be able to be adapted to the TDR body. Some scratch building is to be expected. Tim
Mr.1/16th Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 doe's anyone know if TDR makes a 1/16th scale hemi motor?
