Anyone use the lindberg kits for scratch building? how true to scale are they? i want to build four 'saturday night" specials for our oval.

What scale are you talking about?? The 1/32 scale aren't true 1/32 more like 1/28th scale.But the 1/25th scale should be just fine for what you want. The 40 Ford Coupe' builds into a great "Saturday night special." You can also go to Scott's Racing Products. He has a good selection of mid- 50's cars that would be perfect for 1/32" Sat. night specials".I hope this helps. Cliff.

There not useless Dave. We just need a few more people to build a few. Do I here PROXY in the distant future??? I still have the 36 Ford coupe here somewhere

Remember, when camparing scales, the larger last number means the smaller the car. Either way, I still like em

Hope the "pyro" brand kits dont run to small,have some of them on the way also. Got to admit,those bombers look really sharp! scale or not,i could live with those.I am hoping to bash some artin stocker chassis to at least four fendered cars,because i have 16 of them from buying 4 sets.they would at least be evenly matched for power.

Ok,just read the tutorial on the 37 chevy,i see its a pyro kit,cool,i can live with that!

I did the Lindberg '53 Chevy on a sebring chassis. It is way too small but looks good with other Lindberg cars.

Thats kind of what i was hoping for,build four of a like kind brand,and they cant look to bad. i have a LOT of old strombecker cars that really are not scale,but you dont notice it much when racing! Im really not fanatical about scale perfection,but they do have to have the the look. those cars on daves post are awesome to me,if i can get anywhere near that,ill be happy.

A Lindberg kit was my first ever kitbash attempt. They're good because they are such simple kits and easy to convert.

Ember - that definitely looks right at home as a slot car! :D
