One of my mates is getting out of slots and he had a Tiny motors '64 Galaxie resin body amongst all his stuff so I willingly took it off his hands. Unfortunately the gril and bumpers have gone awol and I'm not sure how to get replacements for them. I sure would like to get this ready to rumble so if anyone's got any idea how to contact Tiny Motors or has the required parts, I'd really like to here from you. Thanks in advance, Bram

Unfortunately he went out of business a couple years ago due to poor health. Last contact I had with him was through ebay, his handle was "kenoshaki". If he still frequents the 'bay he might get a message if you leave it.

Thanks again TsgtRet, not only found him but he's willing to replace the missing parts. Now have to find some decal;s for it too.

You ought to look into getting a shapeways 3D printed chassis that is made for the R/M Nascars. One makes a world of difference.

Looking good so far, I'll be watching for this one, closely.
I regret not getting one of those when Tiny Motors was still in business. Maybe one of the other casters out there can take up the challenge!

When I was a Boy Scout, our Troop Leader had that car- it was brand new, gorgeous deep burgundy with a white leather interior. We used to fight to see who got to ride in that car when we all went somewhere. And it had the little "390" emblem on the side.

off topic like Waaay, it brings back memories:
my Uncle had a tan '64 Galaxie convertible, three-on-the-tree with OD and a 390.
I remember towing a two-axle trailer with a Model A on it through Worcester one day and getting stuck down a narrow one-way, dead-end street. I had to back all the way out, and after that I could do anything. that was an excellent car.

Thanks for your encouraging comments guys. The decals have arrived so must pull finger and get stuck into it.
