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:

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.

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.

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.

An AMC 390 Ramber American.

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:

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).

And she just released a new Bugatti Veyron this week. I just won one on ebay. I'm already mixing paint for it. :D

How 'bout somthing no one has thought of, something no one in their right mind would even consider? How 'bout a Yugo? Or a Citroen 2CV? How 'bout a modern Rolls or Bently? Or some other beheamoth luxury car? How 'bout a 2000SUX?

How 'bout a 2008 Cougar as it was meant to be, sistership to the Mustang. Take an '05 'Stange and add a Retro Cougar grill and tail lights based on the '67-69. I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

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.

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:
