Re thinking a junk TT

[Paul B. Canney]

I always loved the Tijuana Taxi and wish somebody would re-release it.

I have a small collection of TT junk. I always wanted to swap the engine for something a little more muscular.
No not yet another Mopar Hemi, but, a Ford Hemi.
Like a Boss 429. yeah, that's more like it
But (there's that 'but' again)
It's a little too tight a squeeze, ummm, to jam a Mono 1/24th Boss in so the frame needed to be lengthened
That's where the junk came in



So we'll see where this goes. The chrome is crappy so this might end up in yet another junk pile

but I'll save the Boss

Strip the chrome, build and add chrome via Molotow pen.

It was re-released back in '09. They can't be too hard to find.

You would be surprised to see what those reissues are going for these days ! I think a Sand Shark sold on Ebay for over 60 bucks ; a few years ago you could get them for next to nothing !

Actually, I'm not surprised lol I took a quick look at eBay before I posted.

It's been over 10 years now since the '09 release and it doesn't look as if another release is on the horizon or on anyone's radar for that matter. So, if you want it/need it, it looks as if you're going to have to bite the bullet for the '09 release or one of the earlier releases - pick your poison.
