empinut Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Airtrax Type 3 Notchback in final assembly. New decals available for the Empi Inch Pincher Gasser had me adjust a Revell VW DKP project. Extended single cab T2 Pick up to become the iconic Inch Pincher hauler. Utilizing Tamiya engine block for a super detailed gasser engine. Starting a couple of original Revell Porsche speedsters for quick builds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zarana-X Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Sweet! I remember seeing the Inch Pincher hauler for sale about 10 years ago. Not sure what happened to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

empinut Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks Ray, check out my fotki, empinut for more vw stuff. Thanks Jason. On THE SAMBA message board, much discussion has been posted, but no pics? Dale, after building vw engines for 30 years, here is my "best of" parts list that for the best vw engine in my opinion..... Complete Engine Pre '53, (25 horse)....Hasegawa Kubelwagen. Early 36 horse single port.....AMT Meyers Manx. Late dual port.....Tamiya 66 beetle or Ghia. None are perfect but are a very good starting point. Excellent parts to mix and match..... AMT Meyers Manx dog house fan shroud, blue coil. Monogram Lil Van valve covers, Bosch 009 distributor. MPC Kyote cylinder barrels, heads, custom carbs. Revell orange or pink or yellow US 68 beetle/convert for empi intake manifolds ( cut off the close, but no cigar weber 48ida carbs) After market.... Replica Miniature Maryland 48IDA upright carbs (perfect!). Parts by parks aluminum pulleys. Check my fotki labeled empinut for pics of these parts and models where I have used them.

Dale W. Verts Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Thanks Bill... So I'll have, what, about $160 in my first good engine? Now that's FUNNY. I saw on a resin site (I forget who's) where they have VW engines as "coming soon". I'll take a dozen. LOVE the air-cooled stuff. Thanks again.

Modelmartin Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Great stuff! I also grabbed some of those Inch Pincher decals. I have seen pictures of a hauler very similar to the Inch Pincher that was used to haul a Porsche 550 to some late 50s sports car races. I wonder if it is the same truck.

ningoth4 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hey, did you have a wip on here somewhere that you were using the Kubelwagen pane on one of your VW porojects? I know I saw a project like that underway somewhere I thought it might have been you. For some silly reason I did not bookmark it.
