Hey Chris, we have enough racers out there, lets see a nice 1965 Falcon sprint. I have never seen one in slot car trim, nice sweet street machine :wave:

1970 cougar eliminator, 1970 cyclone, 1970 buick gs, 1970 442, 1970 torino or a rebel

Sorry, I have a race car focus.

As far as vintage goes, I would love to see a Lotus 11 cast - one of the coolest small displacement purpose-built race cars ever.

Modern - an Aston Martin DBR 9 so I can have #'s 007 & 008 like at this year's Le Mans.

If you were going to do a street car, I think my old HW Barracuda with the long rear window would look great.

That red 44 racer looks pretty damn neat!
DRAGjet

I'm going out on a limb here, but imagine the coolness of a well casted MONKEE MOBILE

The HURST HEMI DART! One of theeeeee baddest production cars ever. If you can call it production. No warranty from the dealer. 69 Dart with a hood scoop and modified rear wheel wells couldn't be too complicated. Always thought "THE CAR" would be pretty cool in a slot. 69-70 Trans-Am Javelin to go with the mustang and camaro. 70 firebird a slight mod from camaro. 69 SS/AMX like the drag-on-lady car.

88 IROC z convertable!

240z :)

Mclaren M1B

Chris,

This is a 57 Buick but, a 56 would work also.

'65 Impala SS...Please

For comic relief on the track..................Ford Pinto.

I say... go the Vintage route! BARRIS MOBILES!

How about a 1969 Dodge Super Bee 440 Six Pack?Or a 1969 440 Six Pack Road Runner. An AMC 390 Ramber American. Or a Bucik GSX455 1970. A nice 1964 GTO the one AW did is not so good. A 1966 Nove ot 1967 nove is also a good choice. A 1964 ford Thunderbolt. A 1964 Mercury Comet.

I keep wishing someone would do some of Tom Danials designs. Would love to have,

Red Baron, Paddy Wagon, Pie Wagon, Hangman or Ice 'T'.

Any of the TD's would be a big seller.

Dave. :wave:

Micro Scalex are doing that body. PM me and I'll sort you some.

Not to plug someone elses work but Greg (Alfa) already does a great T-Jet version of both of those. I'm assuming this is a T-Jet project so having something new and different would be best. I like the Barris custom idea but being a racer at heart I'd like to suggest the following:

1958 Plymouth Fury convertible NASCAR, ala Lee Petty, or any late 1950's NSACAR convertibles.
John Milner's Duce Coupe from American Graffitti
For a true custom how about anything Boyd Coddington or Fosse, example:

Or a hot Stude'

Yeah, I could go for some of those too. Not sure how sturdy they'd be banging into the rails or walls. But the'd make one heck of a Sunday Driver. :cool:

I had a 64 Impala, same dark blue color, same Crager rims, back end was jacked up nice and high too. alot of custom interior parts. sweet ride, I traded her in when I bought my 79 Camaro.

'67 Ferrari 312 F1 for a Slimline:

MMMMMMMMMMMM???? Some Buicks would be nice, like a Roadmaster or any of the Gran Sports or Grand Nationals for Tjets. Maybe a Matador or Javelin for Tjets.

I would like to see a 1967 Impala SS for the T-jet chassis, but I'll settle for the 65.

I know I already agreed with one post for casting ideas. But I thought of another car I would love to see running around on my track. How about a Tucker?

Jeff

Can't believe so few of us are into racing cars. Personally I don't see the point of putting anything else down on an HO race track. Whats wrong with you people (he says with tongue firmly in cheek).

popping this one back to the top to see if there was any head way.

anything sound good Chris??

Something suddenly hit me. Chevrolet bidness mans coupe. Zoopy curves. Good wide platform for stuffin a slam. Easy to chop! Make a great custom from mild to wild.

Any body done one of these?

Hellonwheels8 makes a killer light 240Z for AFX or Life Like.. Check them out at hellonwheels8@cinci.rr.com

I cast a vote for a 240z.

Or one of my daily drivers,either a 350z or a MB C230 Kompressor.

Mercedes made and makes some cool cars.The C111 would be nice.
Id be happy with any Mercedes,not a lot of them out there in HO land.

Mike

PS By the way Chris,you are one of my favorites on epay.Im not a huge tjet guy,but man,you are truly one of the artists out there when it comes to resin casting.
I love your work.Maybe someday I'll even buy one. :wave:

A 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 would fill in the gap between Ebay's Alfaslot1's 1965 Galaxie and Aurora's 1967 XL 500.

Long body GTO 73/74... :thumbsup:

how bout the jaguar xj220

Take that horrifying AFX Grand am funny car and chop it back to a regular sized body....you have a base for the mid 70's GTO, Lemans, Can am, tempest,grand lemans, luxery lemans, lemans sport coupe... :cool:

This body is only represented in the frickin funny car... :drunk:

There is a johny lightning 73 GTO, and grand am:

I'd heard talk of it, but didn't know they had actually proceeded with tugboating Japan into the Mediteranean.

(I need to buy a new world map!) :)

Nice wheels.I have the same one out in the driveway,different wheels tho.

Big time American iron guy I am.This is my first Japanese car.Had it about 3 weeks now.Finally actually DROVE it for the first time Monday on some twisty windy northern NJ back roads.
And absoloute BLAST to drive!!!!!!!!I Love it.

Back to the topic,I think Moonstone bodies makes a cool fray style 350z body.
