1/32 Gowland & Gowland hot rod conversion

[wkennerley]

I have a 1.32 gowland & gowland hot rod and decided to do something a bit different with it as I did not like the V8 with the kit - I found a mercedes SSK engine in my spares box as well as the chassis from the MG TD - I have mocked these up with two different sets of wheels, any thoughts please - Not trying to base it on any style per say, just a rod from different parts - I am looking for a ford coupe body to use instead of the gowland body though.

Cheers, Wayne

SWEET!!! more small scale stuff.

looks like a fun kit bash.

1/32 scale slot car wheel/tires would really knock this out of the park.

I have gotten the impression that slot car racing may be popular over in the UK, you should be able to source some wheel/tire sets local to you.

Here is just one of the many sites that carries slot car parts: http://chicagolandtoysandhobbies.com/Slot-Cars-1-32-Parts-Wheels/

I mounted a set of BRM wheels on this 34 Ford.
