Yep. Running against cars that are out of scale to the same degree, you get a fun, cheap series. And if you can build a chassis that fits these things, then 1/32 and 1/25 are simple by comparison. But stay away from the '49 Ford and some others from the era that is less antique. The antique cars came from old Palmer molds which are too small, but accurate renditions, the others are original Lindberg, therefore crappy, molds. You should be fine as long as there are only the antique cars in the field, especially if they are modeled as modifieds. Look at the gorgeous '36 Ford that Ember built. Look at the driver, which is pretty close to 1/32. I drove a 1937 Ford Roadster for a week, and I am a very big man. When I drove that car, I wasn't nearly that crowded in the driver's seat. A '36 Ford is a full sized car.
