View Full Version : Surprise slot car came today! Joez yah da man!
bobhch 02-15-2008, 02:52 AM Have been feeling kinda yucky and stuffed up this week. While trying to fight off all the germs from people at work, DayQuil and NyQuil drugged up and lots of sleep...this happened and Cheered me up ALOT!:D
Joez is a Super Duper nice guy! This came in the mail today and I LOVE IT!
I knew Joez was working on this during the last slot contest but, then the whole dealy-ma-jiggy just kinda past into the clouds...until today. Surprised the heck outta me. Thanks Joez for this "Slot Camel" and it means more to me than anyone can imagine. Except for you Joez cause' I know you know....you know what I mean....you know. LOL
This is one Kool slot car and goes great with the Baron Von Buggy that I built. In the end you can see that during a loop or a spin the Barron had those Joez machine guns pointed right up his A__ and on the run.
This was a blast to run on my track tonight. What a sweet build up Joez!:woohoo:

tjd241 02-15-2008, 07:35 AM That Bloody Red Baron was in a fix
He'd tried everything, but he'd run out of tricks
Snoopy fired once, and he fired twice
And that Bloody Red Baron went spinning out of sight.

gear buster 02-15-2008, 11:13 AM Did the cars come "AIR MAIL" ???
Those are really cool. I bet they Fly around the track..
Joez is a smooth operator...:thumbsup:
Now go play with your cars.. Better than Nyquil anyday...:woohoo:
videojimmy 02-15-2008, 01:37 PM really nice set of car Bob!
Bill Hall 02-15-2008, 02:17 PM Bob, the victim is always the last to know!
Tee hee, been waitin' on this one too. A very cool personalized build Joe!
Never gave it a thought until just now, but it hit me that all pancake cars are "mid-engine radial powered".
Per usual; great cars, by great people, for great people!
WesJY 02-15-2008, 02:42 PM dang!! they look cool!!! now need one more USA to join the force!!!!!!!!

1976Cordoba 02-15-2008, 06:28 PM If those two cars were in a slot set with light blue colored track with clouds and little bullets painted on them I bet they'd sell. :thumbsup:
Neat concept you guys.
joez870 02-15-2008, 09:19 PM Thanks for the big thumbsup, guys. It was a fun build.
I also think the pair look great together.
Every time I worked on it, I was constantly giggling to myself at :A, The concept (admittedly stolen from Bobzilla) B, The absurdity of mashing an AFX Bronco cull (missing everything but the cage) and a Sopwith Camel Biplane (tiny arsed model bits to work with) into the Sopwith Bronco. ( The car also received a new grill from a cheap plastic emergency set ambulance and a pair of resin heads of tyco Miata decent.)
I had every intention of sending this piece to Bob. I knew it would be well received but my only regret was that there is no photo-proof that he was laughing his arse off, too!
I am pleased to have made your day, Bob. Kind returns kind.;)
Joez,
You did good....way to think outside of the box!! :thumbsup:
Hilltop Raceway 02-15-2008, 10:13 PM Very very clever there Joez!!! I guess B..Z has done rubbed off on you!!! He's starting to rub off on me a little!!! Way to go!!! RM
roadrner 02-15-2008, 10:36 PM Joez!
Great concept and great build. Just too cool. Would have to agree with Wes. One more done up in an olive drab with some USA insignias would make a great trio. :thumbsup::thumbsup: Dave

bobhch 06-09-2008, 02:43 AM Joez,
I still love this slot you built for me Joez man....just saying...thanks again Joez...you da man! :woohoo:
Bob...fun stuff...zilla
win43 06-09-2008, 07:03 PM Great build Joe. You couldn't have sent it to a nicer guy. The pair of "planes" running around the track makes me laugh everytrime I think of it. That is just too cool. :thumbsup::thumbsup:
joez870 06-09-2008, 11:47 PM heh!
You are more than welcome, Bob!
I had nearly forgotten the Sopwith Bronco...and now looking at it again makes me miss building slots all that much more.
The TM has kept me so busy! I am ashamed to say that the slot car building bench is under about 8 inches of track building debris and tools. That wasn't so bad because I had been working steadily on the routed track.
Now the track itself is slowly being buried under misc. stuff that gets sent to the basement for storage. I had forgotten how busy summers get around here! ahwell. I steal a few minutes here and there to keep up with the goings on here at HT and still do my best to get some decent chat time in on the wednesday nights.
I miss my slot cars, dang-it!
I'm still hangin' in there! :thumbsup:
