The Strombecker Thing is 1/32 scale. It shouldn't be difficult to modify one to fit a slot chassis.

They're not hard to find.

Wow, what a cool track. Do you have any videos of your VW's running on it? Would love to see them.

I have several HO VW's that I race once in a while when my tracks are set up.

A Strombecker Thing is 1/28 scale. The mexican copy of this model (made by Impala or ALSI) is a bit smaller, more or less scale 1/29.

Another plastic model is the HSV vacu modelkit, scale 1/35.

images of these can be found on this page:

Wow, I have great memories of those 1/32 slot car sets. My dad had a pretty cool setup in our basement in the mid 60's. I love your setup Mr. Domeck.

The reason I mentioned Strombecker is that although it's slightly larger, the length is somewhat abbreviated and it should fit a 1/32 chassis okay. But you're more a specialist on Thing toys than I am.
