Re: I've become a collector (Just crept up on me!)
yep, I've seen a couple of them, one was a early Hot Wheels Thunderbird. I do think it would be very easy to convert a larger 1/32 or 1/24 scale slot car to gas power as the early slot cars had metal chassis and gears already installed.

Not to point fingers, but (little snot nose kid voice) "Nitro started it!!!" (thread hijack)
Kim, I hope you are older the me, but I don't think so....lets just say (old man voice) "when I was born there was only 48 states!"
Ok, back to 1/2a's...the last several years I've gotten a lot of enjoyment out of collecting engine information, ads, engine review, photos, etc. and adding to my web site. As I've got about all the engines I need/want, other then maybe a '64 Fox .07 (with the cooling fins on case) or maybe a FAI Fox, or maybe a.......
