Anyone have a source for Dave Howarth's Clip Coupes or contact information for Dave? I would like to create an IROC group of xtractions using the body but don't have enough.

Thanks,
Gary

Try the email address below from an article in HO World from 2006 Products of the Year:

"thunderjet2@aol.com"

From the article..."That would be Dave Howarth of Acme Slot Carz and his “Clip on Coupe” body that has taken the East Coast A/FX and JL X/Traction Racers by storm. These resin Willy’s bodies come in three styles that include a standard modified with an air cleaner, a dual quad carburetor and a Rumble Coupe..."

I love these bodies. I have (7) of the '36 Ford Coupes mounted on Aurora G+ Chassis. Light and Low!!!.

Mike, would you be so kind as to post some pictures of these bodies? That would be really spiffy. I've heard great things about them but I haven't seen them (or didn't know it was them if I did see them). :thumbsup:

I will try to post some pictures in the next day or so. I purchased the bodies about a year and a half ago when Dave was getting recognition for their cleaver design from HO World. Since I did not run AFX chassis and only Aurora G+ he suggested his '36 coupe body as a better fit for the G+ chassis. I purchased two. Quick shipping, good communications and great looking hot rod bodies that fit perfectly on the Aurora G+ chassis. The bodies required a little dremmel work around the rear wheelwells because the bodies sat so low. Can't even tell they were shaved. Real cool looking cars!

I then purchased five more. For whatever reason, It took him about 6 weeks to get me the second group. Maybe business was too good. I had to email him a couple of times for an update on getting the bodies. Eventually I got them, but no response or feedback from Dave. Haven't heard anything about until this post. Again, I'll try to post some pictures.

I have posted some pictures of Dave Howarth's '36 Rumble Coupe at the following URL below or just click on "My Photos".

There are three pictures.

Thanks for the pics, Mike. Those look good on the G-Plus. :thumbsup:

The G-Plus, it's not just for Formula One any more!!! :thumbsup:

Any AFX or AFX Tomy type body will fit the Aurora G+ chassis. The G+ Formula One chassis just doesn't have the side clips and needs an adapter.

The chassis with the side clips work best with the Clip-On Coupes as you can see from the pictures. However, I was able to modify one chassis w/an adapter to mount a Clip-On Coupe.

Thanks Mike,
I had a different e-mail address and was not getting a response. I will try this one and advise.

Fellow Racers,

For those looking for clip coupes... they are once again available. Due to personal and health concerns, I had to temporarily leave the hobby. I am now back up and have all body styles on hand. If you would like to place an order, please e-mail me at acmeslotcarz @aol.com

I also have other bodies available. For pics and prices the e-mail above also works. If you have tried this e-mail in the past, I apologize for the lack of response.

Please be patient if you place a large order, or order your coupes in color. I usually only cast in white, as most racers prefer to paint and decal them to their liking. I do discounts on orders of 20+ bodies of the same type, and try to do my best to expedite larger orders.

If you have questions or inquiries about Acme Bodies, do not hesitate to e-mail me. I would like to thank all those who commented on the coupes, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,
Acme Dave Howarth

would you post the pics and prices?

Fellow Racers,
I have posted a few Pics of clip coupes and a couple of bodies. If you would like more info or pricing, please e-mail me at acmeslotcarz @aol.com. I will post up more pics of Acme Bodies in the near future.

Since I am relatively new here, can any one tell me how to set up an album for viewers. Any help would be appreciated.

The easiest way to do it is paste the [IMG] http /blah blah blah found right under your pics on your "my photos". Option 2 is open a free photobucket account, upload your pics there, and you can cut and paste the [Img] link from there. Option 1 I believe puts thumbnails on the post, option 2 puts the pictures right on the post. If you go the photobucket route, the "large" and the next bigger size are the best ones. Too big and it messes up the whole thread..:lol:

Thanks for the help. I'm surprised Warner Bros. hasn't said anything about using the coyote avitar- I had it on my last site, had to remove it. Speaking of avitars, is there a way to put in a custom avitar or am I limited only to what is listed.

The avatars are limited unless you pay to be a HT supporter. Even then you are restricted to the size of what you can upload avatar-wise. As far as the coyote.. I uploaded it myself, and if WB has any issues, I'll be unhappy to remove it but I will.

Fellow Racers,
I have posted more pics of Acme Bodies in the Photo section. The new pics are of Indy Racers, and all have accurate descriptions. If you would like to order these, e-mail acmeslotcarz@aol.com for info and pricing.
