Joez, I don't think your allowed to say "Bitchin" on Hobby Talk. You need to save that for Chat nite. Nice 55 Drag, GR8 color combination. Also, where do the chrome headers on the orange 55 come from if I may ask??? Thanks...RM

This 55 looks way better than the pic shows. The pearl white makes the red and blue just shine like crazy!

Tom Stumph just sent this package to me and came in the mail today. 6 pups and a RWB 55 that got lots of track time tonight. Here are pics of 3 of the pups (other 3 are Mooneyes) and my new RWB 55 with hand painted chrome trim, running on an AFX Non - Magnatraction chassis that kicks out in the curves and then pulls itself back into shape on exit...Fun to drive and watch! Thanks Tom, Thanks Drag and Thanks Bob Case (That Badman in your photos ROCKS! & that Overkill 55...woah!).

This thread is like Christmas....or like going to Disneyland....

Tom, I guess you took my advice and had a talk with the boys. Looks like the shop is busy!!! I'm liking that purple 55 and the candy red with flames. You got any more of them flip flop 55's??? Back to the shop...RM

Well, last week was a touch one back at the shop. The boys had the flu, so I called Manpower and they sent over some replacements. Although not professional, they pulled off this 55 build. AFX 55, metallic red/blue combination, running a ProStreet motor, Hot Wheels rims, and Aurora window tint. I kinda hate to let em go!!!...The shop boys should be back soon...RM

RM,

dang thats a nice looking 55 chevy!! metallic red/blue paint - what brand do you use? do you use rattle can or airbrush?

Thanks gang!!! Wes, this one started out with an airbrush on the colors, Bottle paint - Model Master Stop Light Red Metallic and Boyd's True Blue Pearl. I cut the bottle paint with some Automotive enamel thinner I had, so it would go through the airbrush. After a couple of days drying, I cleared it with Testors High Gloss Enamel. The red is a little bright in the picture. Looks better with the naked eye, appears darker. But that's just me...RM

Thanks guys. :)

Just wanted to add that before going to race with some local slot car friends today, I put this Hooters 55 on my track to run it....spin, spin, spin....I had to throw some larger rear BudHobbies Orange T-Jet tires on these RRR rims to get it to move.

Will post pics here later...Oooooh and had a blast racing and trading stuff in Iowa today. Have been trying to hook up with these 3 guys for a while now to race but, something always came up were I couldn't make it...not this time. :D
