Ok, here's the scoop. I entered the kids in the Autofest concourse de elegance. Each won a trophy and got a concourse 1 of 100 orange Hemi-Cuda body. They are video gamers and don't care much for slots so I'm offering up their 2 trohpies and 1 body(for 3rd place) for prizes. Don't worry about the kids they're cool with it. They each got plenty of goodies from the show anyway. The contest is open to everyone on the board (hope I can afford the shipping hee hee). One car per person. HO or 1/64 scale slotcars any make. No die-cast bodies! Plastic, resin, or hand fabricated bodies please. I'd like everyone entering to build a new custom starting now. I'm counting on honesty for that one. I don't care what kind of car you build, anything from mild to wild. I will be judging the contest with help from a few friends. Here's a pic of the trophies. On the first and second place trophies the slotcar body is removable.

The contest ends Nov. 30

LMAO Wes!

You'll need more than a camera. You'd better start with a garden rake and the yard blower. If y'all can figure out which pile-o-junk is my entry please let me know so I can get to work on it. I'd like to get started early.

I ain't got no body... and nobody.. nobody cares for me! :) nuther

Ok....I'm in.

I am not sure if I can swing 3 lose.....er... I mean winning cars for 3 different contests, though. I am not sure I have that much imagination left at my age.

We have:
GBs year-end King Of Kustoms contest, (which will be fierce competition)
MT Yoders Anything Goes contest. (which I believe he made up because he built a bitchin' custom already. :D )
Dragulas' MM55 custom Contest (which means I will have to carve up one of the bodies I am buying from him. 7.00 each, you can't beat that with a stick, so I had better get a few!)

I am gonna be a busy boy......and my TM is going to hate me. LOL...
Lets see......Have fun with slot cars or eat nice home-cooked dinners.......decisions, decisions...........Um......I'll just order pizza heh! :thumbsup:


Notes to self:
Hide all powered lawn-care tools from Bill. :D
Send a hair to Coach that will magically appear in his wet paint. Har! :p
Send moneys to Chris for slot-stuff so he can buy that brainectomy that he has been saving for! ;)

Roger Corrie

Roger,

Do you know of any Pacer bodies for sale like that? :confused: Did you make those? I need one Please? For this contest! Not kidding!! The Gremlin is nice also.

My JL die cast body is made of heavy metal and will not be able to use it for this contest.

Yoder,

Love that Purple Gremlin 1/1 of yours. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Had a buddy that had one with Keystones, silver paint and a black stripe Starsky & Hutch style paint job back in the early 80s. Then he got a Yugo. No kidding or how else would I know that the spare tire was kept in the engine compartment? Those Yugoslavians must be proud of that one. Don't want any one from there to give me brain surgery any time soon. :eek:

Chris,

I have like tons of 55 MM bodies now (paid $7.01 each...joez must have sucked up to get lower price...lol) and ready to destroy as many as it takes to make a Weiner so, you better post some place (a contest thread) for your MM 55 contest Mr. Dragula.

Bob...zilla

Oh no ya dont!

Please abuse MTYoder, next to slot cars it's my favorite thing to do.
:woohoo: Randy.

I thought your favorite thing to do was play with your choo choo and caboose!

OMG! :D

Nope, abusing you is way more fun.

How much more gas did you use taking all those trophies home? Gas prices spiked in Northern Indiana because of a sudden high demand.
:woohoo: Randy.

I got your gas! :drunk: It's cause I wanna go to the drag strip with my 1:1 cars this week that's why the gas is going up. Oh well whudya gun do? Gotta pay to play!

Elaine said don't tear up your Gremlin. Or as I like to call it, a prototype Ford Escort. :D Randy.

You can use the body as a prototype for resincasting.That is the solution to your problem.

That's probably the direction Ford would've went if they had a Gremlin for a prototype......................................... .................................................. .................................................. ......with AFX(left)Nut doing the proto to actual car conversion. Ha!

The contest ends Nov. 30


Hey Guys don't forget Mtydoers', custom contest! I plan on doing one already have it started and restarted and restarted once again..lol..


Dave

VJ, I hate you, your Rolls Tyco S is awesome ;)

Only 5 weeks left! Better hurry!

O.K.....this is a start. Red.............Red...........Ready to start yoder!

O.K. so here are some pics of project "Bug Baron". Got lots done today after a trip to the Hobby Store and a pit stop at Wendy's (Fletcher wanted a small Frosty and insisted I have one also along with a cup of Fiberous Chili...mmm).

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/ared1.jpg

Well the Baron needs a wing and this baby is going to be in the back (go ahead and say it...Rice!) lol

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/ared2.jpg

The gas cans take up the side space, the spare & the sun roof don't allow for any storage space up there either...Hmmmm where to put this dang Surf Board? (strap it down on the rear wing!!!!!!!!)

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/ared3.jpg

Have always wanted to do this spare tire rim job to the JL pullback body so, did it.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/ared4.jpg

Yep white pipes....clean and mean...Grrrrrrr baby....grrrrrr

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/ared5.jpg

Um those little black dots.......they are gunshots.......duh......will all blend in after this bug gets some clear coat dusted on it.

I may not win but, have lots of fun and thought this represents Yoders style of customs just a little bit....wait gotta splash some dirt all over this then...Noooooo

Yoder you make some cool stuff...yah mudslinger you.

Agreed Coach! These days ya need a ladder to even see the bar! I've got FOUR contest cars going now. One fer each event and an extra in case things go fart-ola. After seeing the strong early entries mine all look pretty darn phfffffffffft.... :rolleyes:

Bob: Baron von Richthofen would be proud of that Fokker! The spare tire treatment is super cool . Glad to see you finally brought it to life. It looks awesome! Sure would look great on the old Aurora "Dune Fugly" too. :cool:

Just another super imaginative, awesomely detailed and executed build from the hands of 'Zilla... :thumbsup:

Dave, Bill & everyone else,

I am going to now sound "Corny" for just a little bit.

Corny statement: I don't have to win but, don't want to loose either. More importantly making friends here on HT has been a Huge win for me. We drive each other to build the best we can. When the smoke clears nobody feels like they are any more or less of a slot car builder.

WHY? Because we don't keep secrets from each other. Bill has helped me figure out the Goop dealy majoby...still lots to learn. Have seen many of a slot car here that just blows away anything that some of us could ever make. This is an open forum with just the asking on "how to do" about anything the mind can come up with.

HOW? Because we are all friends. Look at coaches Auction and see how everyone has come together to help with Cancer. I am speaking for myself here but, seems like everyone here cares more about others than they do themselves. That is called not beeing selfish. :cry: *sniff, sniff*

So with that said...I am repainting my "Baron Bug" because Metalic Red is a much better color for this thing. After looking at my Red Baron Diecast cars have realized this.

http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/adon6.jpg

Have taken all the pieces apart (de gooped on the inside supports) and ready to start spraying again. Tanks will probably get the white treatment with a silver or black tank band. Surfboard won't get painted till the end. Machine guns are planed to come out the front of the windshield.

Lots of time for any other major changes...gonna surf the net for VW 1/1 cars and Red Baron also to get as many ideas as possible for this contest.

Good luck everyone, Corn...zilla

P.S. I am going to try my best to win this thing....who is gonna take me down? :confused: C'mon lets dance....lol

Hey Bob!
Very sweet showing so far, buddy....and what a showing it is!
Very fearless of you to tip your hand like this! I hope I win, Bob, .....but I sure hope YOU win, too! :thumbsup: You are building a top-shelf, Jebus case-worthy piece!
GREAT imagination and ideas for a tough piece to do anything with! :thumbsup:
