Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2016 1:46 pmMonogram Lola T70 that came in the Road America and the 4 lane race sets. Same body as the 1/32 kit car, just a different chassis. Brad Blohm may sell windshields on Ebay.

The aluminum chassis isn't so good but you can still find the brass ones and the mounting locations are the same.

Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 8:42 pmI know this is my first post here... but hey ya gotta start somewhere.
My name is Ken, and I've been collecting 1/32 slots from the 1960's for awhile now. Revells and Monograms mostly, but I do have a weakness for Strombeckers too.
Anyway, I bought a car just like the OP's about a month ago, and couldn't find any information on it anywhere. Now thanks to this forum, I know what my car actually is. Wonder how it would do with new tires and a Russkit 23 motor in it?

Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 9:47 pmHi Ken, they are fun cars, performance depends on your track. Those Russkit motors like long straights....
But there are lots of good tire options out there.

Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2017 11:23 pmThat's a nice looking car! Did you put a modern chassis in it or did you keep the brass one?
I bought my GT awhile back thinking to strip it and restore it, but when it finally came I couldn't bring myself to do it. Up close it oozes 1965, and some kid saving his paperboy money to buy it... right down to the upside down 'peace sign' taillights. I wish I knew how to preserve the original decals, as I'm afraid to pick it up because they might fall off. I ended up buying three others to get enough parts for a cherry body.
Thank you for the T70 drive ideas. I have this original chassis, and I was thinking about using a brass one instead with updated motor and wheels. I like to see nice looking original cars, but fast original cars are a lot more fun.

Posted: Wed Mar 29, 2017 3:37 pmI read about your modifications awhile back, and bought a cobbled Monogram frame to restore and modify with your mods for my GT.
Thank you for posting those, I'm going to try them out.
