I am looking for windows to a Tyco 57 Chevy for a doorslammer project. Does any body have a spare or make them or know where I can get ahold of one? Thanks Tim  |

Hey Tim, not sure, since I don't have the Tyco body in my hand, but I think the windows from a HotWheels diecast 57 Chevy might work. I think the Tyco body was REAL close to the Matchbox body, and if it was, then the HotWheels window should work since the Matchbox slot car bodies were pretty much 'copied' from the diecast bodies (Mattel owns HW and Matchbox, and pretty sure they owned Tyco when the bodies were produced, I KNOW they own Tyco now). Just a 'cheap' option you may want to check out next time you're at WallyWorld or somewhere like it.  Ron (Bondo) |

OR, even better, if you can find one of the older, Matchbox diecast 57's, they were a LOT wider than HW version! Those might even be a 'direct' swap! Ron (Bondo) |
