Too funny. Great cars Bob.

When this car drove by I ran to catch up to it ( I don't run much anymore ) and started clicking my Sony Mavica Floppy Disc camera like mad.

Check this out Wes & Tom....I figured of all people you guys would like this one. Oh sure some others here might like it also? :rolleyes: ME,ME,ME :woohoo:

This thing just blew me away. This same guy had a Superbird done up like a warplane but, I didn't have my camera with me when we found it. Dang :cry: All the cars were put into different streets according to their class they were in to be judged. They went by years of cars (not make or models) and had a stock or custom class for each year also.

Bob...This is now 55, 56, 57 Chevy thread...zilla

You guys just love your gasser's!!!! Here's how to drive a 57!!!!

I decided to get some 55's. I can't wait til they get here! You guys all have some very sweet examples! (BTW, Love that Judge.)

Finally got the wheels for my 55. Love the Purple/white 55 slotcarman12078. Gotta love the movie cars as well.

http://i901.photobucket.com/albums/ac218/kiwidave_photos/55done.jpg

Thanks, KD!! That purple/white is a tjet powered Dash 55. Nothing fancy, just a little post trimming and a set of slippery Vincents.. Nothing compared to your beauty of a 55!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

kiwi that 55 is on FIRE! hOT, hOT, hOT.........oUCH!

P.S. Deep breaths, Tom, but don't hyperventilate!! Drink plenty of fluids so you don't dehydrate while looking at these!!! ( Tom is our 55 Chevy nut, Homer! ):lol:

Great looking cars Homer-j. The 55 cop car has me thinking!!!!!!

Great cars!:thumbsup:

Need 55 bodies NOW!!!!!!

I'm gonna make you think even harder KD!!! Last year with our Christmas exchange Tom S. donated a 55 body to everyone that participated. Hilltop sent me a sweet cop car flasher chassis to tinker with. I did a little addition and subtraction and came up with this!!

You just have to be careful matching up the lights to the roof when you drill it. I painted the bulbs on the chassis red with nail polish if I recall correctly. It's currently assigned to security duty at Joez's house to ward off any potential slot car thefts!! :lol:

I am pleased to say that this 55 Interceptor makes very cool and regular laps while on patrol. The blinky lights have been a cool added bonus as it even keeps the cats off of the track surface. They see it coming and git! Thanks again for such a sweet car, Ujoe!:thumbsup:

Cool 55's Homer-j.

Do you have a source for the 1/32 scale 55 body?

Thanx for the refreshing blast Homer J!

Flat out gorgeous stuff!

Do you have a source for the 1/32 scale 55 body?

The Bel Air is a Revell Snaptite Body.

Hey hoforu,

Wish I would have thought of a name like that...ho-otersforme. Glad to have you aboard hoforu! :hat: This place ROCKS!!

Anyways when you are typing your reply scroll down to "manage attatchments" and click on it to post pics.

Also you can go to www.photobucket.com for FREE and get 1000 free picture post. After you have loaded a picture into photobucket you put your arrow over the picture and then some HTML will show up....cut and past the last (I believe it is the forth) one and that will allow you to paste it in to your posting here on HT.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me and will be glad to help you out.

A hint for everyone who wants to post several pictures at a time on HT is to name your pictures like this....EXAMPLE: bob1, bob2, bob3, bob4 ....then you can just paste your HTML link over and over and just go back and change the # in your HTML to get a bunch of pictures up FAST. :)

Hey glad to see you posting up some 1/32 55s here Homer!

I used to have a bunch of Eldon 1/32 cars and track but, had to chose between one or the other because, I was going broke trying to do both. There are many neat 1/32 slot car custom opportunities...Sweet pics!

The reason I picked "ho" slots was simple. Smaller, less room & all the cool ho customizers here on HT to build with. It was an easy decision to make. :hat::):hat:

Bob...could have easily been a 1/32 guy now...zilla

Thanks!

This thread just gets better and better .... an amazing display of talent!

Nice 55's Hom-J !!! I gotta go with this one for some reason, must be the color...RM

http://i417.photobucket.com/albums/pp251/slotcarman12078/73a5248a.jpg



How'd I miss this one??? The light system looks like it worked out!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: "Car 54, Where are you???" an old TV show possibly??? RM

Here's a couple I've done. The 55 Nomad is a 57 Nomad and 55 Sedan kit bashed into a 55 Nomad. Both bodies were original Aurora A/FXs. The '55 Bel-Air is a body I aquired at the show. Had to fill in a hole on the passenger side door. Added a blower and wheelie bar to the back of the chassis.

A/FX NUT,

That is some fine 55 slot car custom work there! Thanks for posting them up!

Bob...55 Chevies forever...zilla

Very nice work. Love the color on the Nomad.

Thank you for the compliment Bob...55 Chevies forever...zilla.

The Nomad is how I hoped Autoworld would've done it. I hated cutting up those bodies. They both were in good shape, minus the chrome and glass.

I have a resin molding kit and will be copying my Aurora 57' Bel-Air Sedan and maybe the 55' Nomad also. Got to get my broken finger healed first.

Randy.

Those are some cool 55's :thumbsup::thumbsup: I likes that Nomad conversion myself. Always wanted to try, may have to after seeing this!!! RM
P.S. The flamed one looks good tooooo!!!

:wave: Here's a 55 Chevy Pick-Up. It's a MEV body with white rims and the Toneau cover painted white.

Nice badman mfinger!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

And that MEV pickup is cool Jerry!!! Shiney!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

That's a "bad" Badman 55!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: Always liking the trucks, especially red!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: RM

Heres a few!:)

thanks, need a better camera :freak:

-Mike

55 Chevy Suburban :cool: This lime green beauty decided to go off "In Search Of". Another body by MEV.

Cool UFO panel truck Jerry!!! I noticed the sticker "I Believe", I'm sure you've seen several UFO's before :p:p. How high do you need to get, to see em??? :rolleyes::rolleyes: Like with the add on's, that's some good advertising space...RM

Likes them 55's RZ :thumbsup::thumbsup: Like that background action shot too!!! RM
