Glad to see you back in real world Bob...now that's a goooooood looking 55...zilla!!! Nice color on that bad boy. Cool idea you borrowed from TJR, on the chrome blower. I don't think he'll mind, at least I wouldn't...RM

Zilla,You're making me nuts.Stop.To much already.No don't stop.I had a '60 Corvette the same color.Have to find the pic.That moves up in the case.Gassers and Moified Production ,M/P my favorite racing. Thanks Tom

Nice drag stripper there :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks everyone & have another 55 Chevy to finish up and will post pics here. C'mon people show us your Dash 55s as I know there are a bunch out there someplace!

Bob...55s are just plain fun to build...zilla

These are two I completed recently.The first car I did was from Tom Stumpf's Xmas exchange contribution in pearl white-thanks Tom !:thumbsup:
I was actually gonna do it in black prime but it worked out better as a red prime car as you will soon see.After the body was ELO'd down to pure white plastic it was modified to fit a spare Ultra 5 chassis that was modified to run slot( The rear's were removed ,dremeled & remounted for a tucked in effect).Afterward it was sprayed with Testor's flat red & decaled "old School style with slotrod65.com's fabulous T-jet Hop-up decal repop's. This one really run's great !
I originally wanted to paint the body black prime & modify it to run on
AW T-jet power. I decided to do this with the 2nd car. I actually spied one in black prime & assumed that I would have to "post" it until Tom steered me straight to one that already was posted. I did'nt even know they had these !Now I had a car that was almost already done to my spec's. All I had to do was some additional details , some post lowering & modify the AW T-jet chassis to run on 3R Red steelies. The decals were from slotrod65.com.Special Kudo's to Tom Stumpf (A really great Guy to deal with) & "Phred" of slotrod65 & to my wife Stasi for putting up with my slotcar fixation (Don't look now, Boss,but Aberdeen,MD is just around the corner !:) )


Neal:dude:

Neal,

Gotta love those red steelies with that flat black paint!

They both look totally Old School-ish with those decals on them. Yeah Tom Stumpf & Phred are both great guys who both have helped me make a bunch of my slot car dreams come to life. Thanks guys!

Nobody is going to believe me but, I have a 55 in Metallic Orange with those exact SlotRod65 Dead End skull decals sitting in basically the same place as yours on my work bench right now. One on the hood and one on the trunk.

Bob...Old School Rocks...zilla

You're not just rais'in hell with that '55, you're rais'in the bar! Very nice!:thumbsup:

Nice duo of 55's!!! The red primer hits me just a bit harder due to the unsual color, but they're both winners!!!! Nice job Neal!!! :thumbsup: :dude:

110% awsome that is... Waay cool Neil. :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd
