This one is from the Muscle Machines Jesse James series.It's 1/64 scale(in theory).Looks like it would have to be shrunk to put on the smaller chassis like tjets.

That would be SWEET!!

Hell yeah man, I saw that van for the first time last week at Walmart and that was my first thought......a Ford Econo van on a Tjet chassis. Of course Janet said, "why would you want a slot car of that??? It's ugly" :lol

I explained that sometimes even ugly vehicles can be cool.....even though the van is a Ford

Or is the van a Dodge........I can't friggin remember...and dang it's early .... :freak:

I'm pretty sure that one's a Ford. Would be very cool on a Tjet. Isn't there a Mini-Lindy of one something like that? I know Claus did a VW bus on a Tjet... and I did this one from a plastic Wal-Mart friction toy:

Picture a racing class of these bad boys... 4 little lunchboxes on Tjet chassis trading paint...

rick,
Tjet chassis with AFX wheels & silicone? Looks great! You might want to add some decal set to get that decal to snug up on that hinge. :thumbsup: Dave

Rick, now that you mention it, there is a Mini Lindy Ford Econoline van kit.....

Also, I just received a trade from Claus last week.....which included one of his VW Buses.....a superb piece indeed! :thumbsup:

I just pulled out some spare MB VW SpongeBob Bus & bugs, they sure look like they fit an AFX chassis. Have to wait now...my drill battery just died :( .

Hey man, just so you know, the VW Bus that Claus has isn't cast from a Matchbox diecast....... Also his VW Bus is made to fit a Tjet chassis....not an AFX ;)

Hey guess what, the MB Bus fits the mag. chassis, a little tight though. The Bug is too long (wheelbase wise).

Hey there-


I like Econo's! I had one--a 68/70 or something (too old to remember :freak: )

I have a bunch of the standard release slot-vans, including the TCR's and Matchbox slots. I'll get this one too, if someone picks it up and re-casts it.

A great possibility! :thumbsup:



Cheers...

yeah, that's exactly what it is, good call! :D The decal set won't work, though... these are self-adhesive stickers from a lowrider snap-together kit...
