Like Bob and Wes said ..."tick tock" :freak: Tabled the "Altered States" as predicted and continued on the #2 car. Cure times just werent gonna cut the deadline.

The renovated tube axle was vertically drilled and the radius rods were fit through and formed so thay they are one piece and pivot on the axle. Then they were soldered on the open end and pin fit to align in the body. Front wheel keepers are made from turned down brads.

Dash pipes were added to a mix and match hot wheels "chrome blob" motor.
Then it was given a flat black wash to tone down the gumball effect.

Material was hogged from inside the die cast body to give the pancake motor a break. This one cruises nicely and will chirp the tires on command.

Yup!Gonna be so hard to decide what piece(s) to bid on!
The Coupe came together very nicely, Bill. :thumbsup:
How about a pic of the front detail?

This is the most diverse group yet. Something for every taste... gonna be some happy winning bidders pretty soon. nd

This auction is going to be soooooooooooo cool.. I am very proud of each and every one of you chaps. I really believe we make a diffrence every day we are alive. You guys make a big diffrence not only in my life but in the lives of people we do not even know. First with the HEart fund, then Cancer research, now with the kids who would just continue on the ways of thier fathers. Hoht was started as a place to fund my favorite charity with a car I was working on ( the Honda) Then RR wanted in with the AW Chrome 55, then it has steam rolled since then..With our sponsers over the last two auctions being just plain awesome its humbling to be involved and to humble a arogant sob like me takes some doing lads.. lol.. Thank you all...

Dave

Here is my #13 (55 chevy). I am guilty on this - didnt have time to do a nice custom car. Its just a decal job.

Wes

Just for the record guys...Wes has been Very Busy working on his house. Remember I gave everyone an option here...the easy way or the hard way...LOL Your #13 flamed 55 Chevy is great...love how the flames work with that #13 ball on the hood along with one of my favorites...skulls baby!

Wes you pulled one out of you hat last Auction...Heck we all need a break now and again....well except for Mr. Bill....Ooooooooooooh Nooooo even he has started to build for himself a bit which, is a break for him...a much needed break! :)

Heck with all the talent here on HT we have a full staff for a slot car design team. We just don't have the Company to back us....LOL

Ooooh and we don't have to follow any trademark infringement laws...that helps also. AFX, Tyco, Tomy, HW parts etc..mix and match at its best baby! :hat:

OK, here will be my last update shots as both cars are close to done. I'm cutting it pretty close, but I had a lot of fun doing these.

Except for running out gloss black and the rear wing not painted or decaled, this one is mostly done. I will most likely put an antenna, wiper arm, and maybe mirrors on by Tues. when I pack for mailing on Wednesday. This is the #1 pool ball car.

Here is the #10 pool ball. I could only get 1 decal on the nose, as that is the only flat spot available on the is body.

This paint scheme was a challenge, but I think it came out decent. I was going with the rear wing, but stayed true to this body style. The detaols include individual injector stacks, multi-piece driver with face inside shield(shield not on yet), dash board, exhaust pipes. This one was a labor of love, and i will be doing the tribute to the real car for myself.

fastlap,

These are some smokin' cars man! Sounds like you had as much fun as I did building these. Love all the nice detail work & sweet graphics and race colors along with all the hard work you put into making the masters and then casting these. Whooooooo...hooooooooooooooo

Went to a New Car Expo today with the Wife and Kids. There was this Porsche Boxster S that was orange with black trim....Ooooh just told Ginger right there I was getting it.....she said sure. Well now who is going to give me the money to buy it...har

OK, here is the final photos of the #10 Pool Ball entry. Added since last shot--antenna, wiper arm/blade and rear wing decals. It's done and will be shipped out Thursday morning.

Here is the final photos of the McLaren M8B. Final touched include visor over visable driver face, and addition to roll bar.

Each car was given a final "wash" to give the details depth. Each car will also come with a new Tyco X-2 Pan chassis under the body.

The pics are up on the site Now! :woohoo: :roll: :woohoo:
