Wes

Wes,

Thanks for sending those bods to me in trade! First saw this Hooters Shadow in the box and took it downstairs immediately to add a few things like tan paint and some yellow paint to bring the flames in with a white line to hook it all up.

Wes put down the pallet with a nice bright orange paint job, Hooters decals, Iron Cross decals, Mooneyes decals, #7 decals, flame decals and painted tan over his Budweiser rear wing decal (sorry...kinda not). Also knew that this needed some yellow rims and BAM!

This thing is sooooooooooooooooo bright Orange! Love it! Most of the time I just get to look at peoples stuff and take off in my own direction from the idea. Have several of bodies Wes has traded me but, this one is a combination of Wes & Zilla!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cool:

Great looking Shadow from the Weszilla boys :thumbsup::thumbsup: Those yellow wheels highly compliment the orange ( it looks goooood ). With them hot flames, that bird's a cooking. Nice work guys...RM

Not a bad Idea.............:) rr

Here's one waiting for the detailing. Sorry for the bad pic. rr

Lookin cool.. Love the color combo...

This is the first of a bunch of customs I will be posting. The reason I have not posted them earlier is all my kool stuff is in boxes in the garage. I took some time and dug them out. Almost all of these were done for the HO series I raced in. We were given points for winning and where you finished but also for best appearing car.

One year I decided to go the team route. All cars are pearl white with purple accents. All the decals were printed at home.

The four different classes were:
-S.L.O.W. Slim Line OPen Wheel (my favorite)
-T-Jet
-AFX Magna-Traction
-G-Plus

Marty

These are some of my Dodge Daytonas and RoadRunner Superbirds:

Even though the LL Superbird is way out of proportion that caris one of my favorites. Binford Tools Rule!

Marty Robbins had some of the koolest cars in NASCAR!!!

mARTY

This was done sometime in the 80's. Pre HO decals, pre internet, pre-computer.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/mrtc4w/slot%20cars/DSC00004.jpg

I remember having a heck of a time finding STP red that would look good. Most of the flourescent paints at that time were real thick. The lettering is letraset. The STP decals were from 1/24 scale decal sheets. The 11's were done by hand.

Marty

Purple is my favorite colors (duh!) I didn't want to waste the decals on the Ford Thunderbird they were supposed to go on.

Original body w/RRR chrome. The other is a TOMY body mounted on a Slim-Line and threaded aluminum wheels and silicone tires all around. The skiny original Slim-Line wheels looked funny on it.

Two of my favorite things, Petty race cars, er, trucks and purple race trucks!

Marty

This body was purchased in the early times of resin casting. Definately not up to todays standards but that was all we had at the time. Pearl white with hand painted purple scallops:

This one I ran in the stock T-Jet class. I have since added the RRR wheels. Decals printed at home. A lot of the decals I made at home were 1/24 scaled down to fit the body.

One year (1970?) Jim Hall was busy with the T/A Camaro and probably a bunch of other projects so he did not have a Chaparral ready for the Can-Am series. He bought a McLaren and "Jim Hall-ized" it, the McChaparral. There was one at the vintage car races at Road America. I don't know if it was the one Hall raced or a clone.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/mrtc4w/slot%20cars/DSC00006.jpg

Marty

Jim Hall and his Chaparrals are some of my favorite cars!! In the 1/24 series we raced I did a few of them:rolleyes:. Here are two of my HO Chaparrals:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v521/mrtc4w/slot%20cars/DSC00009.jpg

The Camaro was raced with stock skinny tires. The wheels and tires on it now are from a die cast Camaro. NO traction at all!! The "1" on the roof was lost during a race altercation. Another example of downsized decals printed at home.

Marty

Thats cool Marty. Didn't know there was any Ed Roth cars done in Slots..:thumbsup:
Those are some cool cars you have. Like it when you build a custom and race it...

I have only seen these cars referred to as Cabin racers. If there is another name for them, i am not familiar with it. Maybe someone of the board can advise. Here is a pic of the original master.

Ed,
Holy Hotrod Batman... Looks cool with the custom paint. Now Batman and Robin can go pick up some Hooters Girls for shur..

The clear box I have from a solid red kit of that Cabin racer says "Grand Champion" on it. On feePay they are sometimes listed as Open Cockpit Racer also. They were originally designed from a Japanese race series some time back.

Love the Chrome 55s Ed and Santa (coach) was very generous this year...A Santa roadster...cool Seth you lucky kid you!

I like the tag you use to ID them. Now seeing the red one I can see why. Think I'll use that myself. So, what chassis do they use and where can these Cabin Racers be found? nd

They go kind of pricey on feePay, AFXChris sells them pretty often and you know how he rolls. The blank red & white kits sell for less usually, and HellOnWheels8 makes a killer resin of it that we have been using locally for our LMP class for the last two years. Of course, HellOnWheels has been AWOL since she had that fire sale and moved a couple months back . . .

They use a Tyco Wide Pan Chassis.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt an open cockpit full bodied racer correctly referred to as a "Spyder" ?

That I am unsure of Bill, the tyco book calls them open cockpit japanese racers
