Nice Cars SuperFist and Drag,

That Green paint job is Sweet and Drag ready I am sure! SuperFist that Corvette just says I like to hug the track and go fast. You guys got me thinking that I need to build my next Dash Cobra with speed and handling in mind.

Messed around with this Red guy today and chopped the front and Rear body post a bit without any problems of gear to body grind. Also added some RRR rims that were ordered from Slot Car Johnnies with some larger white Buds rear tires. The chassis is of Corn Flake variety but, runs well anyways.:rolleyes: Decals are from SlotRods and from a Kit Kat candy bar wrapper Futured on.

I did have to use a small square file on the chassis to get those rear tires to not hang up and replaced the axles with t-jet Aurora Originals in front and rear to accommodate the RRR rims correctly.

Will post up a picture of my Blue one or maybe one of my Camaro bodies I just got with a chassis that has better handling in mind. This red one was made more for looks and could use a little weight in the front to keep it down a bit but, still gets around Las Zillas Speedway pretty well...until I get greedy...then this little light weight just flies all over the place...oh dang. Will add some weight to the front end and see if that helps.

Thanks Dan and everybody else for making this car possible.

...a typical Buster build Ed, right over the top and deep over left feild fence!

Bill,

Great idea. Tom Daniels series..:thumbsup:
Ed already has a good start..
He is the mastermind behind all wild creations.:thumbsup:
Here is a recap of the collection he has aquired. Seems like a good line up..
2 I added to make it look complete..
All the builders on the board is a breed all there self. They bring different builds and awsome ideas to the plate. All the builds/builders hit for the fence and always have a hit. This is like a car cruise in HO scale all year round..:thumbsup:

I'm not sure, I got so use to decaling, but loved this solid orange car. I stripped and repainted that dern chevy panel van 4 times, somthing just kept screwing up, bubbles/runs/heavy drippy looking crap, If it was any other car it would have got thrown in the "I'll do it when I'm Bill Halls age" pile.

The light blue one.........I just had to destroy one of those orange Broncos, I don't think the pic shows it clear, but Nosferatu is the passenger and some zombie dude is driving.

fiddy cents each. for anyone, I'll mix it up. knights/zombies/carnival freaks, weeeeeeee. got some "flame salamanders" that look alot like the 2000 Godzilla, but in little size. nice for platform decoration too.

You destroyed an Orange Bronco ED aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! After seeing your Bronco and 57 Panel truck here (both very Kool I might add), I decided to take my Hooters Bronco project body off the shelf and do it up today

This Bronco Hooters racer was already planned but, the sparks just flew today. *spark*spark*spark* imagine these 3 sparks are flying - get the picture? he,he,he

The Top Chrome wing is getting soaked in Pine Sol. It did get scuffed and painted but, the paint job went bad. No fear....have LOTS of paint! One of these lucky decals will get to go on the wing after it gets painted up...hmmmmmm which one to use....tough call here?

The glossy black "Crap-o-lah" got covered in a nice flat black on the grill and hood. This thing was just to much bling, bling for me...ack (raaaaalph!) The pics don't show the flat black finish but, it is there.

Before coming here, I was looking at Bills green Vette project and Coach was talking about H:):)TERS there also. Now I just got Hooters on the mind.

EDIT: OMG I just noticed the #19 on the headlight. Guess what # this started out as before the switch. LOL Going to go fix this right now. Does anyone know how to get Future off of headlights??? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Bob...Hooters are fun!!...zilla

Oh man, I seen that dude in the Bronco and his creeped out buddy drivin' for real just the other night. Dude, I even remember his voice - freaked me out totally man! I shake just thinking about it. They pulled up out of the darkness, and driver dude said in this low scary voice, " I want a number three with fries and a Coke." Then nostrilupto or whatever you call him screamed, "NO FRIES, TOTS!" Oh, Sonic is just getting too weird for me, man...... But you modeled 'em right on!

Nice color choice on the panel Seth. What color name and brand of orange is that? Looks popsicle orange, anyways I like the shade of color. Blue Bronco looks cool too, I see you let Bob do the driving...RM
P.S. I like Hooters, #1941!!! I guess thinking about hooters, got you all excited, it does me!!!

Hilltop,

That is not me driving as I would have never ordered fries (fries are evil) and only drink Diet Coke. If a #3 is a Chili-n-Cheese Footlong then yeah (could have been during a weak moment) but, Split pretty much cleared me with the fries and Coke comment. :lol:

Eds drivers are super Creepy and way Kool though. I guess that this might have been some kind of compliment in some sort of Wierd -n- Wacked out way? Doubt it!

The orange is a testors set orange from walmart, the set thats made for airbrush use without thinning it out first, worked pretty nice.

Had to share: A very good friend of mine owns a beautiful '66 Bronco that was a complete restoration with many custom features. Same guy that did my Camaro did the bodywork and paint. It's a riot to cruise around in.

Yes! Yes! Yes!, he saw em, Bob...I'm back...zilla. You know I likes that yellow Bronco, also the metallic orange Chevy Blazer next to it. Is that Tom S. in the background checking out the 55 2 tone hardtop??? I'd like to see more of that orange/rust looking blown Willys in the background. Too many ideas start popping in the old head...I may have to show these pics to the boys at the shop... RM

Parsippany slot car show, the guy sells them 30.00 or 4 for 100.00.(original tjet chassis included) He is usually there working on cars as the show goes on, finishing cars for guys who picked out unfinished. I think his name is Brian.

I was talking about this post... Pete Serraon, who runs the Parsippany show can get you Brian Craig's# probably. Pete's # is 973-299-1040 (1040-he's an accountant...)

Gene, if it's the orange panel truck where talking about, its an Autoworld. The Vampire car was resin cast by me. I have met and bought from Brian at Parsippany many times, great guy, hopefully he'll be there in a few weeks.
