A couple BMW turbos I lowered on Super Gs:

I really didn't like the way Tomy made their GTPs look like monster trucks so I modified the chassis mounts, shaved the wheel wells and got the Castrol Jag down to race hieght.

Dragon, That jag is to cool. Any way you could post a How-To on the way you got this terrific stance.
Andy

I've found that simply mounting the Jag on a G3 chassis with G3 wheels really plants the nose. Getting the rear end down will require clip mods, or you can run larger tires to fill in more of the wheel well. That Jag is one awesome looking race car.

Thanks, guys. I'll try to do a How-to with pics in the morning. About the dragon's bedtime.

Until then, here's a couple comparison shots of the BMW. The Yellow body I bought when they first came out in '78 ('79?). Back then my racing buddies called it "The Dreaded Turbo". When I pulled it out of the pit box they knew they were beat. :D It went through several transformations over the years but when the Tomy Super Gs came out it really found its glory. It is about time for a strip & repaint.

Another slammed suburban. :thumbsup:

Some great looking cars! Thanks for the pix. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Claus my friemd just came by last week with his custom '59 Bug that looks just like your little one. :thumbsup:

Whaddya think?

Larry

Who HOO! Nice Rides Larry! Nice to see your stuff again! Glad your felling better!



Dave

Larry - sweet looking cars man!! :thumbsup:

Wes

Yes, Larry, they are really nice.

And good to see you back.

Do you make bodies to sell?

Patrick

Thanks for the kind words guys. The SSr & Stockers were cars I did a few years back. After the Turkey Rod Run car show here in Daytona @ Daytona Intl Speedway thanksgiving weekend Thurs thru Sunday, I'm gonna try and start casting again. I have some new stuff I wanna try and cast , some thats "outside the box" of what others have done. Since I'm now "retired" (not by MY choice) I'll have some more time to play with my fun little cars, and my 1:1 "slot car haulers" too! If anyone is coming to Daytona for the Turkey Run, pm or email me so we might hook up, at least for a few moments. There will be a slot car shop that will have a booth at the show, with HO, 1/32 & 1/24 cars and tracks.

More Later from Daytona USA!
Larry

Didn't Allison flip that Cam2 Mercury down the backstretch at Rockingham about 10 times?

Very cool stock cars. :thumbsup:

'doba

Yep! Then wadded another one up at MIS during the USAC "Norton Twin 200's" in a wreck with Bay Darnell, Sal Tovella and Butch Garner if my old memory serves me. Roger P. (aka; "The Captain") wasnt very happy about that either.

Very cool Larry, I dig the stance of yer stockers. I'd like to know which voodoo you used to dump them. ;) How about a little bit on the slam mechanics?

Great looking stockers Larry! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Hey RR :wave:
Thanks for the kind words. The pics aint the best but they do show how low I race them.

Hi Bill
I just gently dremel out the top (closest to the roof) part of the body clip till I get it where I want, then use a post, like some of the older A/FX bodys (#11 Charger comes to mind) have and put a screw in it to keep the drop and the body snug while runnin it. I'll post some pics later in the week for everyone. Its easy to do, and ya can get the bodys down where they look right and handle A BUNCH better too!

Larry

What happens when you slam a Studebaker?

Those Studes look Killer! Nice job :thumbsup:

This is an AFX Henry J, I'm working on, which needs finishing. I keep seeing all these fantastic cars being shown, so other ideas pop up!!! Keep the pictures coming guys!!! RLM
