This isn’t an exact science. I just checked the ‘65 1/8 Chevy Corvette in my stash. The tires seem to have the same wheel diameter, but a slightly wider tread than the Jag. I would expect a few other 1/8 cars would likewise. So I would look for someone who’s parting those out on evil bay. There’s ...

Merry Xmas to all… I convinced the management to get me a fancy-pants 3D scanner for Xmas.
