Great ideas everyone...brown swirly...got it...Corn, etc...gotta keep pouring.

Will post progress on this body casting project as more get made up.

After casting up only 4 slot car body styles, it realy makes you appreciate what Traxs and Bruce Gavin at Bad Dawg slot cars are doing for the slot car community.

Before I came to Hobby Talk 2 years ago casting slot car bodies was only a dream but, after seeing other people here do it and finding the casting kits available...just jumped in and gave it a whirl.

The real fun for me will be getting all the bodies out to people who are interested and then painting up some for myself. Fletcher our 5 year old has very specific plans for his Indy Racer body. Fletcher said he wants to paint it yellow with Iron Crosses and Mooneyes inside the Iron Crosses...that's my boy!!!!!

You can see that the front screw post is keeping the front end from falling in place along with the pick ups. a CHOP, CHOP and this problem should be fixed.

Now the rear end needs the rear post trimmed up a little also and the Bill Hall Sand Paper on the round pencil trick to enlarge the rear Wheel Wells ...Bam I think this will work. Oooooooooooh you are going to need a head :freak:

This body was designed to fit a slot chassis in very suck to way. The front end shows a straight wheel well cut up and down line, in front of the front tires, to allow for the pickup movement to be made. This would have to be cut some more to make it work for the tyco.

Bob...this would be cool as a Tyco flyer...zilla

Yep it is the same blue: House of Kolor paint that used to be sold at Wally world and now it's not. :cry:

When I was in Vegas last month the hobby store had a whole rack of it!!!!!!!!! I picked up $100.00 worth (lots of greens). The paint is discontinued and they are just selling off the back stock to some hobby stores. Have been very lucky to have seen this coming and bought lots of it before it went off the shelves.

Just realized this was my last bottle of Metalic Blue...Waaaaah. I do have some House of Colors Lapis Blue left wich is a darker Metalic Blue. Will have to ask my Mother in Law to pick up some of this Metalic Blue next time they go back to Vegas...yeah she is cool like that. Thanks Mom-in-Law.

Bob,

rr,

You are freaking me out...I was just thinking of painting a Trick Truck black with the red Bat Logos on it earlier today at work. Red front headlights and grill work and thin red stripes with an AFX Turbo Turn On motor in the back should do the trick. Hey can you run NOS to a jet engine?

I can see the Bat Willys but, can't see me finding time to do it as I don't have any time...hahahahahaha You better talk to RANDY and go for it!

If you are wondering if it is time for new glasses just check out my eye chart in the back ground of the Willys picture. :devil:

Hey Everyone you have emergency lights but, you just don't know it yet....Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, rrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yep those Stop Police colums that seem almost usless just got some GO TIME! This is a Bad Dawg van from long ago ready to get hit with some fancy smancy white pearl paint, EMT decals and another Wacked in the head driver along with some other suprises.

Yet another Bruce body from the past gets a skull treatment and yep you guessed it...more freaky heads. :freak: Have not decided on a color for this one yet. Sublime green, neon pink, metalic purple????? I just don't know yet :confused: The skulls will be white and the rear ones will get drilled from the back, get thermostat wire glued into them, holes drilled into the body and then after the paint dries they get gooped on from the inside of the body.

The yellow stuff behind the skulls is just poster putty that is temporarly holding them in place for fittment. Blue poster putty is better but, yellow was near by sooooooooooooooooooo :)

Uuuuuuuuum yeah the Willys is going to get done up too....just not yet. When the Oh Yeah hits me on the head it will get started back up. I know there is some wild build with it but, at this point blue is all that has called out to me. *ring, ring, ring* HELLO?

Why buy new when used will do. I picked up these cases today for $30.00 each ( LOL $30.00 is the new $20.00 as I have been told :) ) from a real good slot car buddy of hojohns and mine. :woohoo: He even brought them over to our house from South Omaha and gave him one of my casted indy bodies for the gas he burned up in his truck today. I casted the body up after he got here and stuck it on one of his chassis.

One of these is for CJ and the other one is mine. I also had another one that went out the front door almost as soon as it came in today that went to a long time Matchbox collector & friend of mine.

Filled this thing up with a bunch of slot bodies that are painted and ready for details. It goes 1/4 turn and stops for a bit and does it over and over and over again. These have a round flourecent bulb in the top that lights the whole thing up nicely.

There are 6 levels that hold a total of 96 cars but, wait... then there is room on 5 of the levels behind the shelves to hold 6 more cars per level but, wait... Then I am going to make clear plastic triangle corners which will allow 4 more cars per level for a whopping total of 150 car holding capacity!

Also the base is made out of plastic and will be making a fancy smancy metal base to strengthen it up. Then Phsssssssssssssht the base real Kewl looking like. I think Hilltops Timex case is bigger than these...Lucky!
