See us 1/43 guys can make some cool stuff too!!!! :thumbsup:

WOW! No doubt that you got da SKILLZ! That is one cool car. Love the Gulf color scheme. You did a great job building the chassis and body.

The Sprint are is way cool as well.

Rock on! :thumbsup:

Nitro,

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay kool Rat Fink fitment in that very detailed sprintstrer man!! Now this is what I am talking about...:woohoo: Fantastic build ups.

I used to race ho and Eldon 1/32 cars and had a large 4 lane track all made out of Eldon track in our basement. Cleaned alot of old track with Simple Green and Goop stain cleaner & had a fun 1/32 track for many years.

Wanted to do both as I was into ho and 1/32 Eldons as a kid. My favorite 1/32 cars to run were the GT40s as they were my best handling cars.

Looks like you know how to have a good time and heads off to you...lol

Bob...all slot car builders welcomed...zilla

Hey Nitro!

Dude, didn't see the sprinter with the Rat Fink fitted! Looks like you will have a fun and cool Sprinter for the proxy race series! Build is coming along nicely!

And like I told you before....anything in Gulf racing colors rocks!

PD2:thumbsup:

Nitro,
Great builds! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Sweet usage of the Finkster in the sprinter!!!! My lil Fink is poised on my monitor still as I have yet to find a good car to plop him. Wicked good Fabrication job!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Funny thing about them Gulf colors. On anything else, blue and orange would never be thought of as a great color combo!! :lol: But, on a gulf car they look awesome!! Super nice chassis fabrication job, and the body came out Awesome!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Rushed it a little and quality suffered,but I had to get this done & shipped ASAP! One more coat of clear and touch ups & it will be left to dry until Weds,then shipped for our proxy sprint car series races.
