Hey gang-i'm a huge Nascar fan and with the 2008 season about to begin this Sunday at Daytona i though it would be fitting to see your Stock Car racers.All of my Nascar racers are of the LifeLike variety.I hear LL is going to do the new "COT" Nascar body-I hope they do it right!!!:)

i like the fords the best and out of those i like texaco havoline car. does anyone have any of the new dodge cars they made? if so post a pic.

I like the way you think RZ, Chevrolet on the front row!!! Here a couple of pics of some old school cars I did a few years back. I guess you can tell the age by the paint schemes. The DW car is a favorite because of the 5 different colors used. The Western Auto was made from dry transfer letters. The hood logo is from scratch. All 12 cars on the front stretch are customs, mostly made from Tyco bodies. Lifelike cars in the background. Hope you enjoy!!! RM

Man Nice Collection Hilltop ! I Like The Wall Marks On The Track That Looks Sweet!

Here Are The Dodges, I REALLY LIKE THE TWO RED AND BLACK CARS!

Here's some of mine. Clear bodies by me, T.O.P. all hand painted on AFX's or G+ cars. No decals, all freehand on the inside. I did these around 1990....................Tom http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g108/ogarfield/nascar1980s005.jpg

DVS, Did you make the AMP car??? If so what color green did you use??? Lifelike is suppose to be releasing one later on this year. Those cars you had pictured, should still be available. Do you need the site links? Also the marks on the walls are real, I didn't paint them on. The walls have taken a beating!!! RM

Ogar, you got a smooooth touch with the brush man!!! Those look like decals!!! Great work, especially to be done backwards, inside out!!! RM

How about some Superbirds?

Any Petty fans out there?

Any Penny Parsons fans?

Any Petty fans out there?

Heck yeah!

Can you make the pic smaller? :freak:

Sterling Marlin?

Oops!

Sorry Can't fix the Petty pics, tech support (my wife) is already asleep!

Petty who???

Lovin' all the pics gentlemen. :thumbsup:

Hey Hilltop! I just picked up the Matchbox Goodyear transporter on the bay as seen in your one pic. It looks like a really nice little truck and I can't wait to add it to my layout. Got a decent deal on it too.

Keep posting pics y'all!

The Goodyear looks good LR, I had all the diecast at one time. I starting collecting the trucks to match the slotcars. I ended up selling the whole diecast collection at a good time, as the the value of them has dropped. They just flooded the market. Now the shipping charges cost more than the truck!!! Glad you found one... RM

A slot car racer actually owns one of the original #17 DW stock cars. I saw pictures of it on a race report somewhere. ;)

Slott V, DW always had good looking #17 cars whether you liked him or not. I know I'm on the wrong forum and I hope I don't pi...s anybody off, but I wanted to share these Nascar Pinewood Derby cars with you. My kids and I, mostly me I will admit, built these many years ago. DW lives in Franklin Tn. about 20 minutes from me. RM

D A N G !

Here are a couple S-Birds, Pete Hamilton & Dick Brooks...Both my T.O.P. bodies hand painted... The 40 has a brass panned T-jet I raced in the early 1970's in Indiana & Ky. HOPRA series....The 32 is a built Quad lammed AFX from 1973...........Tom http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g108/ogarfield/brooksbird003.jpg http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g108/ogarfield/brooksbird002.jpg

Some great looking stockers, especially the vintage Winston cups. Just need some more Torinos, Chevelles, RRs and some of those big Monte Carlos of the mid 70's. :)

Those were stock cars! Watch them on Sunday and head to the dealer on Monday. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: rr

Afx I Did not Paint Those, But I Thought They Deserve To Be Posted Since They Were Nascars, And Damn Sweet Looking ! the guys name is bob dame and i guess he is selling them. in the pic they are sitting on a g-jet. here is his email if anyone is interested. i dont know him but he sure does some nice work!

HOSTBODIES@Yahoo.com

Pretty sure the painting of those Dames was done by another guy. You can buy his bodies (he trades as HOST) from http://www.slotprospeedway.com/

Here are a few vintage Nascar t-jets. Jim Clark's Fairlane, driven in one race (I believe it was Rockingham), Friday Hassler's Chevelle, and David Pearson's Fairlane. All are repaints of the original release of JL pullbacks.

Patrick

Hilltop,
An entire field of Pettys, way too cool!

BC88, I just started picken em up when I can find good deals. Maybe one of these days I'll get enough and quit buying the Petty cars, I doubt it though!!! Maybe get one for every one of the "The Kings" wins... RM

Hail yea Marty!!! Nice assortment of Mopars you got there!!! RM

Sweet --

Nice collection of Mopars Marty!

You should post the Petty PT Cruiser. :wave:

Here are a couple of my TJETS NASCARs I did a while back

Had to remove pictures from my web site to make room for new stuff.

Roger Corrie

And a couple more these are TFX's AFX bodies shrunk to TJET size


Roger Corrie

HA I was waiting for Roger to chime in here. I'd like to see the line of vintage stockers he has! Sweet.

Here are more of Bob Dame's new COT lexan bodies that were painted by Greg Williams of AHORA. These were posted on my BBS from an Arizona GJet Benefit Race run during the Daytona 500. Simply amazing. The decals all came from Patto's Place in AU.

* Threadjack, sorry *

RM- I'm surprised they allowed the cut wheel wells like that. Very cool pinewood cars! You have an uncanny knack for details. I can't find pics of the #12 Ryan Newman NASCAR car I did for my nephew, but the best pinewood car I ever did by far was this Toyota CV88 GTP for my friend's daughter. She won a trophy with it. She made the decals on my computer so it wasn't all me... ;)

Slott V, (Sorry guys, I know we're on the wrong thread, but our DW conversation got us going.) I like your blue/white color combination. The decals, windows, headlights, etc. add the finishing touch, nice choice!!!
The wheels on the Tide & WA cars are standard wheels. I added strips of wood to both sides of the original block, to make the fenders. Then I had to hollow out the inside block to get the weight down to 5.0 oz. The car was legal by the rules. I enjoyed the pinewoods as much as my kids!!! RM

I have only collected Petty cars in the larger 1/64 scale. (no t-jets) I see Marty has a great display. Here is my question. What were the latest Petty car to hit the market. Two of the last I got were the 43 Andretti with the multiple front to rear stripes and the Mattel 43 Cherrios Dodge. Anything esle come out lately? Like in the newer LifeLike Dodge body, etc.? I not interested in every variation of decals, just one of each 1/64 new paint scheme.

In case any of you missed the Craftsman race, in a nut shell....

Some more racing...

I'm not trying to steal the thread

I like those bumpercar! Way cool! Your handywork I assume?

Ligier,
About 50 - 50. I'm still learnig. Patto's decals are forgiving and can often hide minor mistakes ;-) If I see a nice custom on Epay that's a steal I'll jump on it.

Did everyone see Pattos do peel-and-stick now.

Used them on our P3E bodies and so far so good.
