Ok,, I was encouraged by Bob and Joe to get some pics of what was on the bench.. enjoy!

There ya go!

Man-o-man, I can hardly wait to see how these turn out!
Your C.O looks nearly like the truck at my shop used for delivery! :D same colors, too! heh! (but it would look better in green, don'cha think?)

You really nailed the C Flatty, CJ. The curve is perfect! (It's gonna be greeen, right? ) The woodgrain is a very nice touch. Something in Rock-Maple, maybe?

Your tilty vette flat-out rocks! (I think this one needs to be green also)

Feel free to send any green slotcars ya might have to Joez870, 1970 Arlington Ave E........ :jest:


Beautiful, CJ....just beautiful! :thumbsup:

Can't wait to see how the flatbed (#5 pic) turns out. Love the roof lines!
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Green?? hmm..Candy Green maybe! :eek:

Anything but yellow...we need a break. :freak:

Looks great Chris! Keep 'em coming.

I love slot trucks and those look Kool. All your slot cars are mine......oh dang! No what's yours is yours and what's mine is mine. Nice to dream though...that is a fun looking bunch of projects there Chris!

More work getting done ON the Bench.

Hey Cj53,
The truck photos in this post remind me of the old Monogram or was it Revell 1/24 Paddy wagon and Beer wagon. The roof lines gave me that impression. Any chance of your creations getting steered in that direction?

Ray

Ray,
Good eye! That is the idea, actually have a picture of the model kit box art on the bench. Still thinking about the front end part. The beer wagon had a Mack Truck Front end on it. Most street rods have a chromed out engine. Not sure which way this one is going. I have engine options I can use, but the full hood would be different. Not actually duplicating the model.. just using it for the baseline. so things are subject to change.
Chris

:rolleyes: Finally one comes off the bench..

:rolleyes: Finally one comes off the bench..

Cool Chris...a 55!

I can think of another nice thread to post that one up on (all 55 Chevy thread). Do it man!

*Edit* Oh......... see you did....Nice looking paint job man and hood scoop also!

I really should be wrapping Christmas gifts now. Hmmmmmmmm Wrap gifts or check cool slot car post and pics? :confused:

Bob...zilla

Thanks Bob.. now just have to tune her up, fix the tire problem on the front end.. see if it will make a pass around the track..
Chris

Be kind guys..She was built along time ago and has logged alot of miles.. probably due for the body shop for some work. When I did this, the AFX handbook was brand new and where I come up with the idea.
Chris :)

Chris,

Hey that flying Eye looks sweet! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: I love Willys...doesn't everyone?

Bob...zilla

Hey CJ, that Nomad turned El Camino looks great too. You put a roll cage in that willys, or are those seat backs?

Thanks Split!!
the camino is about do for a redo.. The Willy's yep. cut one out of a hotwheels.. seat backs worked out well since they were attached to the rollbar. I just swiped some black paint down the middle of em to give a cushion look. Glued em to the Glass.. I put the dashboard from the same HW in it also.. just don't show up in the picture.
Chris

I just keep coming back here to look at that flat bed truck in construction picture. That is nicely done....well some day it will be. LOL

Chris

Ya a lot of collectors cringe when they see somebody hacked an original 57 Nomad but the Aurora Racing Handbook told you how to do it! I have one in my collection too.

The Nomads are so common and easy to find.. why not hackup a few?

SlottV
Thanks , not sure many remember the AFX handbook. But we have to remember, even though it was a Nomad, many of us still saw a station wagon, family grocery getter. Also for some of us, the AFX handbook opened the door for "Customizing" outside of just hacking the wheel wells to fit bigger tires. After the Nomad/Camino trick, it was ok to be creative with the little cars.. I look at it sometimes and wish I would have not cut it, since it's the only Nomad I had. Now I wish I had bought a few more and left em as Nomads. Now they are not just grocery getters they were one of the coolest cars made, 1:1 or in scale.
Chris

Hey Cj... you can always get the JL Nomads.... they;re nice too

Goofing around.
