The wing has been stripped down and painted orange. Just waiting for final assembly and decals now.

Will be painting the wing ends and that rectangle front part white also.

Bob...still a work in progress...zilla

It's really been fun watching you develope the Shadows Bob. Each one reborn unto itself and so unlike the original blob that they were.

Randy really started something with those first ones...LOL....yer a Shadow junkie Bob. I rekon we all are now!

The Pink One will be for "White Glove Racing". Nobody can Beat It. When it's on the track, the race is sure to be a Thriller. Yes, you can say that this car will be Bad.

Bill,

Yes Mr. Hilltop (Randy) is to blame for the drug induced like addiction to the Shadow build.

Doba,

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH RALMAO...OMG you guys are cracking me up. Anytime...yeah right. The Pink one is kinda making me think of the Pink Ladies from Grease...YO pink is the Word, is the place, it's the way that we are living.

Peruvian Farkleberry Red...Now that is funny slotcarman.

Randy was kind enough to send me some Bridgestone sponsor decals to make the #3 version of his Jasper Powered LOLA. Yeah I am gonna need some Alcohol too.

Let the Decal fun begin! Randy sent me the Bridgestone decals (thanks man) and some #3 decals that screwed up on me (oh dang) so, pulled out a decal sheet made up by Rob for the #80 and still need to add them onto the sides and put this thing back together.

Zilla, nice to see you putting the Hilltop treatment to use on the Lola. The black stripe kicks it up at least thre notches - BAM!!! Wouldn't want to get in the way of Jasper Thunder on any track - that's fer sure, dude! You do more with spare minutes than I did with 2008!!!

I masked the body to paint the red and then used black Parma Pinstriping tape right down the middle. Parma makes a Pinstipe tape that has about 7 different thickenesses of stripes on a very long roll kept in a tube. Comes in many different colors.

Will dig up a picture of what it looks like in just a second....Bzzzzzzzzzzzz look in the right rear corner of picture in the clear tubes. This stuff is as thin as any paint stripe could be painted.

Gooped here all together just a bit ago and then the final decals and clear go on.

Resinmonger...small side...hahahaahah

That is the guy I got mine from. Not for that price though...LOWER! Nice idea but, I need more scratch build in my stuff and it can't be Cheesy unless it's Extra Sharp Cedar! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

The engine & Spoiler that is on the Deora is off a 99 cent HW Semi truck that just came out. He chopped some of it off and added a little red paint detail.

Bob...gonna have to see if this sells for this price...zilla

"stem" off the back of the wheel ...right?

Thanks to Bob for the subliminal sudden cheese craving suddenly improving my perceptive powers!!!! Take a look at this monstrosity powered vehicle...

1. the front spoiler was an attempt to keep the pin in the slot..
2. The wheelie bar was the next step in keeping the pin in the slot.
3. The only modification he could do to keep this thing from losing it's correct gravitational pull was to remove the crown gear from the rear axle...
4. Evidently, it has a tendancy to roll too, so the spread out front wheelbase makes it track wider.. that's when it's able to roll....

Been busy with stuff and hope to finish up the Jasper Clone Lola tonight.

Aaaaaaaaah the Animals are all getting restless. I like the Deora with out all the other confusing stuff. It is a very nice casting and done very well. Some times less is more. The Deora is a Sweet Custom all by itself.

Bob...I picked up 2 of them...zilla

Well finaly got the clear coat on and the chassis mounted under it. The Hilltop Racing Jasper Lola Clone is done. Thanks Randy!

Hilltops version was #8 and this one is #80. Randy was even nice enough to send me the Bridgestone decals so, I could do this right.

If you like a car that you know you can't pry out of someones hands then you just need to make a Clone of it. Glad I did this Jasper 2-tone red and yellow Jasper Lola.

Red is my favorite color and with the yellow, white and black to Pop any Jasper build there will be more for sure!!!!

Yep Doba that is exactly what happened. I wouldn't even try to Copy a Bill Hall plastic goop creation. I don't have dental tools or the patience. :drunk: *don't worry this isn't going to hurt a bit "Whzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzz"* :freak:

I used my Computer Art program to make a few color variations of this Jasper Lola. I do have plans in the future to make another Jasper car just like this but, will use white instead of Yellow. I got the idea from my Red Line 80s BMX restored bike in the garage. White frame with Red rims and some black in the mix also. POP!

Also have the Bat Lola to do along with some others too. Just not right now.

Bob...thanks everyone...zilla

Fantastic looking car Bob! My favorite color is red too and I have to agree that I like the color combo! And definitely like the idea for the Redline BMX color combo - I think I remember that bike from the 80's!

The computer generate pink one my daughter would DEFINITELY drive and go for!

Nice work as always bro!
