One of my many stalled 30-year-old projects is a Hubley '61 Ford wagon, which is 1/24 scale. I need a suitably wide front suspension setup for it, and I thought of the Monogram '58 T-bird - can anyone tell me the width of its front suspension from spindle to spindle, and is its rear track the same?

Thanks!

(And if anyone has one spare taillight for it, I sure can use it...?)

may I suggest the '60 Ford Starliner as an option for donor parts...

I haven't checked the width but it should be in the ballpark.

Alas, here we run into the old 1/24 conundrum. I have the Elvira kit at the house. I'll have a look at it when I get home from work. If it will work for you, it's available for trade.

Thank you! Did you get to measure it?

I've thought about getting the deluxe edition '60 Starliner to gut for some projects, but that '61 wagon is very wide. Even its own chassis needs to be widened about 1/4" on each side to fit that body...
