Does anyone know where I can get parts for 1:18 scale diecasts? I'm currently working on creating a Jeep Wrangler but need off road tires, winch, lift kit materials. Is there a particular website online where I can view and purchase "special" equipment?:rolleyes:

Most of the people in this forum fabricate our own "custom parts", and alot take parts from other cars, both work.

Being new to the forum, as I read on, I'm gettin' that impression. I've only recently started back into diecast 1:18 and trying my hand at redoing some of my own, so just thought I'd ask. I've only done one car, 06 Corvette convert so far, painted it Atomic Orange w/two-tone interior, some engine mods. I presently working on a Jeep Wrangler. Took a hardtop Sahara,removed the top completely, cut the full metal doors to half doors, fabrication a stock roll bar cage and repainting the interior. Thanks for the response! :)
