Here's one my latest. Speed Inc Body and C&R Decals. Now I need to get the kids Christmas Cars ready. They want cars painted in their school colors with the mascot on the hoods. Dad's work (Let's let them keep thinking it's work) is never done.

Nice Paybay find Ed. That looks right up your Alley man! :thumbsup:

rr did a run on Chargers and so, will continue it here with this one and one more to come. I love what rr did with the black stock Old School stripe on this body in all different colors.

Well here is a Official Nascar Charger Pace Car that I just finished up for Wes. He likes them Green. :D This was fun to do and did a little decal and paint trick on the door here. It is fun when it comes out like you planned it in your brain.

Wes sent me 2 Charger bodies to do up and the next one is getting done up as a Hurst Charger package in 2-tone Gold & White (already Phsssst it a while ago). My last issue of Hot Rod said that the Challenger will be made with a Hurst Package soon. $10,000 to $20,000 extra depending on the Options you get. Hey maybe we will only have to pay Chevy and Ford now...yeah right.

Although these are RC cars used for the Vintage RC Racing (AAR style), I'm thinking about picking up a few AW Camaros to use as the donor bod and turn them into these. Then I'll have to get some old Cuda's and AAR decals to do a few of those. Then some Must.......... Let me rethink this idea. :eek: rr

Still great lookers. :thumbsup::thumbsup:


If you're interested in seeing some other cars they have built, take a look on their site. Some great looking cars. rr

Those are cool RR!! I really like the way the rear quarters flare out making lots of room for some big fat tires... I wish AW did something like that with their camaros in the first release. I also wish that body lasted a little longer than what they did. Same with the firebird. They should have done plain janes in at least one or two releases.. If they did, I must have completely missed them.

Still tinkering with body mounts, but slowly progress is being made... I know this showed up in the slammed thread, but the driver has again taken his perch, and the wheels have their color coat now.. Back mount is in, now I need to fabricate the front.. Had I used a Dash body, it would be done already...:freak:

There's no rush.. RRR don't re-open til the 5th, and I need some of his decals to finish..

That Camaro looks great...Yeah! Those stripes realy topped this Helen (Hellonwheels) body off. Great stripe job rr! :thumbsup::thumbsup: and love those rims too.

Can't wait to see the real 1/1 Camaro on the road soon. The New Challengers look so Bad @ss....it is killing me that I won't be able to afford either one. Oh dang:cry: Guess that's why I do this ho scale job-er-ew dealy-ma-job thing. :) Hope at least to get a ride in someone elses 1/1 Camaro and Challenger ride someday. Bet the Car Rental places get some $$$$ renting these out.

That driver looks kewl in that VW van. Gotta love those small ho scale Dudes.

Here is the lowdown on these slot cars.

Received a chrome foiled trim Charger in my package from rr for the Camaro body and paint along with a gold Shadow that got Hooterized.

This black convertible just landed here last week also from Nuther Daves place for a N.D. Man 55 I built for him.

None of this is planed at first as it just kinda happens. Hobby Talk fun!

The detail on these RR & ND cars speaks for itself. The slot cars made & sent by other HT members are my favorite ones. Also doing up slot cars for others is very rewarding because, all the HT people here are so dang nice that I know that they are going to a good home every time.

Working on finishing up a bunch of slot cars right now so, I can cast up some fun projects I have in mind this Winter.

Bob,
I edited your post just to get to the meat and I couldn't agree more. Some great people out here, doing things for others for the heck of it and keeping the hobby going. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

Say, that isn't the charger that caused the stampede at Autozones nationwide with everyone looking for "duplicolor orange mist"...Is it??? :eek: LOL.. I just got a can of it myself, and itching to pssssssssssssssssssstttt something with it... Unfortunately, the TM has once again banned me from painting in the house, so it's shoot in the dungeon, or wait a couple days and try again....:devil: I'll sneak in a psst psst here and there....:rolleyes: Some day...here I go again... I will have an appropriate place to paint... and drill...and dremel... and....resin cast....and....
