• 1966 Bill Thomas Cheetah...sold for... *LINK*
  • Thanks Howard for this story.... I just finished mine so I found it especially interesting. *NM*
    • Frank.....is there a plastic kit of the Cheetah?......the closest I thought were the 1960's Cox slot cars.........a full detail plastic kit I'd think would be a no brainer........lol. *NM*
      • Not to my knowledge Andy....Mine was a Cox slot car not a complete glue bomb but needed a whole lot of work to restore it and added a few of my own touches. *NM*
        • Frank...how did you build yours?.....I would think that an Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport might be a good donor kit but I'm only guessing as I've seen very little in print with pics tho' that Link was helpful.....I can't understand why theres been no plastic kit tho'...lol. *NM*
          • Let's say I rebuilt it... with a whole of work I was able to get it apart with very like breakage, but I could not save the headlight covers and with a lot of sanding and polish I was able to save the glass. I don't think the AM GS would work only because of the way**INSIDE*
            • I checked Epay & the Cox slot cars were all over $500 Aus, way over my pay scale, & I'd much prefer a plastic kit rather than a resin, I'm too old to play with a full resin kit, resin parts yes but no to a full kit........lol. *NM*
  • Wasn't there a resin kit of this... Harold? *NM*
    • Harold @ Historic Racing Miniatures, I think. Not sure he's still casting stuff--top notch just like RMCoM. *NM*
    • Modelhaus did it at one point. Unobtanium by now.... *NM*
  • I have both the Modelhaus and Mini Exotics resin Cheetah kis...I have GOT to build one sometime! *NM*
  • Re: I know a convertible version was offered by Mini Exotics,i have one in my stash,but can;t find it to post a pic. *NM*
