Just did this car this week. It is a Mattel Sizzlers Camaro body I dremeled off the original chassis & made plastruct mounts so it fits the TOMY G+ chassis. I also had to make up a rear Panel to fill the area between the tailights.Runs great too on track. I really like this Camaro body as it has great proportions & is one of the best I've seen in HO.
I also bought a couple of more Mattel Sizzlers ($7.99 at Target) as they make great projects to mount on a TOMY G+ chassis. I'm gonna do the yellow #2 Camaro next & make Rat rods of the '67 Camaro gn/bk stripes & Dodge Challenger rd/flames.Not sure yet what I will do with the puke green Olds 4-4-2.Any Idea's ?
The Yellow '57 Chevy P/U is nice the way it is but if I can't find more at Target I will consider using it as a prototype for resincasting. I can make a $#!T load of Cool Rat rod pickup trucks for the TOMY G+ chassis.

Neal, are the bodies plastic or metal?

Nice!!! how do they run?

the sizzler bodies are plastic. I've been digging on the new realeases myself. I had the big fat track when I was a kid and loved it. You can't control them like slot cars, but you get some real nice realistic drifting, bumping and passing action.

nice camaro! Did you fill in the hole when the juicer goes?
Also, what did you do with chassis? If you want to get rid of them, PM me.
I also make custom sizzlers from time to time and could use all the spaer chassis I can getmy hands on. I just made one using a Tyco Bel Air, it came ot perfect.

Looks great on the chassis. Too bad all slot cars don't fit as well.

Like stink !

Neal :dude:

:wave: Ya' finally got to me through these posts & I decided that there is enough market demand to justify the tooling costs ! Plus it is a PITA to go around traipsing to Target to get any extra's even if they were there as long as I have a good original.I will make this a 1st priority AFA projects is concerned.As you can see It sits very nicely on the TOMY G+ chassis (this is just a test fit but it went very weel as the wheelbase of the body & chassis are in sync) & now there is a good running Mattel Sizzler chassis for those who are interested

Neal :dude:

I really need one of those! :thumbsup:

Me too. Nifty truck Neal!

4 for me! Trucks like this just screeeeam, "DRIVE ME!" bob...zilla

Hey I have a question. what scale slot car bodies will fit on hot wheels sizzlers???

HO-1/64th scale bodies only. Since I can mount the new Target/mattel Sizzler bodies on the TOMY G+ chassis it only stands to reason that conversly you can mount TOMY G+ bodies or any similar wheelbase bodies on the Mattel Sizzler chassis.

I was thinking about making on of those trucks up for myself. I bet you could get the AFX truck pipes from RRR and use them to cover up the juice machine hole

Don't buy Pipes I have a pile of them sitting here on my desk from some recent conversion free for the taking..
