Stay strong brother. If I didn't have dial up, I'd check out the chat scene.

Zilla, you could have a few 50mm armed German Sandvans in Africa Korps Tan and take 'em on with a pair of 50cal armed jeeps. Can you say Rat Patrol? I'll bet you can.

RAT PATROL!!!!!!!!!!! I used to freakin love that show. Bob, can you do any german army stuff to shoot at!!!!!!!!

Rich

RAT PATROL!!!!!!!!!!! I used to freakin love that show. Bob, can you do any german army stuff to shoot at!!!!!!!!

Rich

Yes I can Rich (german army stuff to shoot at...LOL) as Las Zilla Speedway is a crazed place with lots of military troops, tanks and artillery to Keep Godzilla and the other Monsters in line. RAT PATR0L ROCKS!

Thanks everyone for the Kudos and support. I love you guys (in a friendly way that is).

Keeping busy with slots is a huge help but, at first I couldn't even sit down to work on them as I always related painting and any work done on them in the garage as smoke time. Well a few good Chat sesions and some long phone calls (slot car stories) realy helped me overcome that and now am back at slot car custom building full blast.

Bob...Gooped some lakers on a 2 -toned custom Merc tonight Oh YEAH!...zilla

MMmmmmm??? Some guns on the Sand Van.......sort of reminds me of "Rat Patrol". Man am I old...LOL

Welcome back Win43, How was your trip ? How were the grandkids ? Glad you made it back ok.

Yo Bob,
Here's a Dodge truck I made from a LL Chevy, back when the truck series still looked like trucks, and Petty was still fielding the 43.

I likes that Dodge/Chevy package:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:!!! I'm sure there are a lot of Chevy trucks running around in a Dodge disguise, :p:p:p. Like the Craftsman stickers also, did you make those? ... RM

Thanks!!! The Craftman decals came off of some parma or autographics 1:24 scale sheet. I have a ton of that stuff that I bought just so I could use the small decals. If I ever decide to run 24th scale, I'll be set on decals.

Rich,

Like the red truck a lot man...red is the best! Also like your decal way of thinking. A person can never have enough decals and sometimes you gotta think outside the box. Richard Petty Rocks!

I just hit the Jackpot at my local Comic Book store tonight. Went to the "Dragons Lair" sister store down the road a bit as one of the employees told me they might have some small guns and stuff in a parts box. Well in that same box were lots and lots of small skull and stuff decals!!!! I grabbed a whole bunch of them at 25 cents a sheet...ooooh man they are cool! Gammers and Dungeon and Dragon people have lots of neat stuff that works for us ho builders. Got a few plastic ho people for decapitation also. :freak:

Well back on track. Here is my Custom Slot car of the day! Ooooooh Canada, Oh Canada. A Homie for the head, custom made Canadian decal, White Parma stripe down the hood, those decals from the comic book store, Moon rims, Buds rear tires, painted it red with some interior detail work.

Now I think this thing may be going out the door soon as this just needs a clear coat finish to seal it all up. Hmmmmm who would want such a Canadian Freakish Dune Buggy like this Hmmmmmmmmmm??? Who indeed...:confused:

Bob...deep in the heart of Texas...zilla

Cool lil car, Bob!
I can see the Coach standing in the dealership lobby now, just checking off the options boxes.

"let's see...I need the big white-walls out back(cuz I'm nostalgic, yeah?), the double skull stripe on the hood(to scare the neighborhood kids and ol' ladies) The chromy hubcaps (cuz I like the shiny things), the shag carpets and fur-covered dash (cuz I'm a closet-hippy), The smoked windscreen(cuz it is too sunny here in texas), OH! and the Canadian FLAG(cuz I'm a Canook to the core and I want to be able to see it easily in the parking lots, right?) !"


Beautiful car, Bob...I'm getting even with the Coach...zilla!
Brilliant rendition! :thumbsup:

You slot guys blow me away! There are soooo many cool cars in this thread it's over whelming! I'm just one of the die-cast guys who like dropping in from time to time and I am never disappointed with my visits! You guys are GREAT builders!

Ward,
They're quite a few of us that lurk and post over there and see alot of those custom diecasts and drool over them too. I've even stolen some ideas for customs I'm doing. :cool: Just wished us slotters had a few more options to work with (Wheels for one) for our custom projects. Always amazed when someone just does wheel swaps and gives a whole new look with minimal effort. Plus that might reduce the numbers of diecast we sacrifice for parts for slotcars. :devil:

Wouldn't take a whole lot for a diecaster to become a slotter as well. We're always looking to expand our members. :) C'mon over to the darkside. Our little cars run......:woohoo: rr

Yes Ward, many of us hop the fence all the time. Either stealing ideas or trying to recruit new slot-tards. Regardless of your affiliations it all boils down to the love of 'lil cars. :thumbsup:

Y'all are no slouches in the build department yerselves.

Ward, Come on back anytime!!! If you need help with plugging em in, I'm sure we can help!!! Try a little electricity, you'll fall in love all over again!!! RM

:freak: AW has trippled its production of Sand Vans based on demand. Little do they know, the demand all came from one Bob...I gotta have all dem Sand Vans...zilla. :freak: When the market collapses, we can get them on the cheap.

All I have done so far is walked to the mailbox and ran back to the garage to rip the Diecast JL off its blister card, stripped the paint with some Chemical paint remover and dremel away some stuff...just starting and gonna drop it off like this on the bench for a while...

The hood is going to be left open with velocity stacks like stock, going to drop the front end down (just stole this from a Cuda junker) and maybe some side pipes molded in by the rocker panels. I love all the detail that this thing has...I love painting detail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah!

Bob, Elton John came to your house disguised as your cat. If you're not careful, he'll start singing Lion King songs, eat all of your ice cream, and rip off any chrome slot cars. I'm just saying...

Just a little Whimsy: a British driver & gunner with an American military body (like his stiff upper lip with the mustache) and the 50mm on a confiscated VW Thing. Being a Crazy Canuck, just loved the Canadian Sand Van, another car for the want list. ... RL

grungerockjeepe,

Thanks man and was fun to do up for RD2 as I know he is going to love it. Have one of these Camaros for myself to do up also...hmmmmmmmm what color. I think Randy said Yellow? :)


These flames and Iron Cross decals by Rob are off the Hook!!!!!!!!!!!! The stripes are some Parma ones I get at the hobby store. These rolls can be pricey but, is nice to have all the different widths and lots of it...you get your moneys worth soon enough. Lots of people use these to stripe Remote Control planes...very thin and can be clear coated with Future with several coatings.
