Thes 2 rods are cars that I cast. The wheels are custom wheels that I turned down from old Exacto handles. The lack car handles extremely well except it is a bit light in the front. Can't wait till Dash comes out with slimlines so I can run more rods!

I am working on a new hot rod prototype that is exclusively for the Slimline Mini-T-Jet under my project code name "LRD" based on the TYCO S Hot Rod. Is it certain that it will come out ? So far NOS chassis are mucho $$$ & Used are few & far between.

Here's a couple shots of the 33 Ford I did up for my wife. She has the black one, I have the white one. Still can't keep up...

Not sure if you were talking about my 2 cars or someone elses, but! the Black 33 Ford is sporting a set of Riggen wheels mounted up to an X-traction chassis. The white on is set up with the same chassis and the 5-spoke rims are sprayed with Testors Metalizer burnt aluminum. I clip the mounting tabs off to narrow the chassis up. The body is one of my designs (Speed Inc). The blue flame decals are my work also, the yellow flames were trimmed to scale from a set of old Parma 1/32 peel and stick decals.

Ok, to add to my earlier post that had no pics these are all slim lines. The 2 Fords are resin cast by me and the Yellow Rod is an Aurora Jag that was heavily modified. I turned the rims from aluminum, Soldered the steel rollbar and built the side pipes from stainless steel. I don't remember where I got the windscreen but I think it wirks well with the sleek lines. All these cars are VERY fast and don't run much hotter temp wise than a Tjet.
