Happy Easter Hilltop!

It is a bit of serendipity that the watch holder in the display are the perfect size for a HO slot car. That case is a real cool find, Randy. It's sort of the Ferrari in the barn kind of story. Using the icemaker motor is a good display of ingenuity too.

Note to self: buy stock in watch display case manufacturers! :drunk::hat::freak::dude::tongue:

Happy Easter it is!!! Check out my newest addition, courtesy of UJoe. It's a Hilltop Medical Center Ambulance with custom made graphics and some of the coolest lights I ever saw on a slotcar!!! UJoe has got these lights shining bright with a steady glow, instead of the up and down power variance lights. Has a cool red flashing light on top also. I can now understand Fletcher's (Bob...zilla Jr.) obsession with the lighted sled!!! Thanks again UJoe (Sltman)...RM

Here's a new GM retro resin Camaro I been working on. This one's from a Hot Wheels version. I reworked the cowl hood area and built up the fender wells to fit an AFX wheelbase. The spoiler which is a little big, (kinda gives it an attitude), could be sanded down...RM

RR, This Camaro came from the body shop. I used the Hot Wheels Camaro for the mold. I filled in the hood area for a regular cowl hood. I added a little to the fenderwell opening to make em smaller. Hot Wheels version were just a little too wide. The original glass will fit the resin body, just trying to save it for another car, so I just used some plastic for the windows on this one...RM

Here's another version of the 69. Added some mandatory accessories, some Vincent wheels, and lowered it a bit. Probably need to add some wheelie bars to this one too!!! Hoping I can pick up a few more sponsors...RM

Randy, by my count you need to make two more. First of all, where is the yellow version? Second, the red and blue pair really want a white version to finish that patriotic feel.

Seriously, the blue drag beast is a real beauty. I don't know how you keep up the pace but I'm sure glad you can as it makes my day to see another great creation from the boys at Hilltop's Shop. Give 'em a raise, yah hear?

Here's a street legal Mustang the boys tried to build. The "Heartbeat" just wasn't into it. Anyways, I used some Hugger Orange with some blue flames. I borrowed an engine from ProRodz with some Vincent wheels, naturally...RM
