Jinkys!!! I like them all, but the mystery machine is my favorite!! It's cool what you did to the firewall on the gremlin too!!! Nice decal work!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:


the firewall was made from the packaging from a Pepcid AC 25 pack..
they have an extra 1.5 inch sqaure that looks like diamond plate. They're chrome on one side and mate on the other. I hit it with a coat of transparent blue, glued it on then trimmed it before clear coating the whole car.


the Gremiln and the Scooby Doo Van are for sale on ebay

Jimmy does it again...kewl cars! Scooby Dooby Dooooooooooooo!!!!!!

Bob...That red dragster is Smoooooooooooth & is lookin' fine...zilla

Ebi

The Aztec wheels are the original AFX dragster wheels.... the front rims on the Gremlin funny car came from a JL T-bucket

Nice flames!! The work looks familiar... And if it is who I think he does some casting too!!
The 56 chebby is my favorite out of the big 3 (55-57)!! Sorry Tom! The square turnsignals and the chrome across the front does it for me. I can understand your affection VJ!! The whole package is A+!!!! :cool: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Sweet rides Jimmy... some nice detail work on those classics.

That Caddy is absolutely killer VJ!!!
There are some great diecast street cars out there that deserve a slot car chassis!

Rich :thumbsup:

Is that a caddy or a 56 chevy?? Hmmm... I've looked 3X now and I'm still not sure...:rolleyes:

Cool rides VJ!!! Like the flames :thumbsup::thumbsup: The 56 was always a favorite, had the gas spout hidden behind the tailight...RM

VJ,

Those are some great flame jobs! I like the red & yellow on black!! Always a Kewl combo.

The Nomad is SWEET also with the purple base & silver with a violet fade...very neat-O man. Masking that Nomad off must have taken some time for sure.

Bob...Love the off "die cast" frame restoration on the 56...zilla

VJ,
More great lookers! Where did you get the wheels on the Javelin? :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Well, I guess that is a Chevy, but it sure looks high class!

videojimmy, they are very,very nice wheels.

dreamin' of the day I get a cool body for this chassis

Kind regards

I'm not dreaming, it's h0 aluminium machined wheels ? :eek:

I got them from NCPhobbies.com... and they weren't cheap either.... like 25 bucks for the set. I can't remember exactly, I bought them a long time ago.

Those have got to be the nicest set of aluminium wheels I've ever seen! I agree, I would save that chassis for the best body you can find. Do you have any ideas of what type of body you would like. Maybe the guys can come up with something really cool for you. Give us an idea of what you're looking for. I'd put out the challenge!:)

Hey Yankee... I'd love to see a T-bucket hot Rod, but I seem to be in the minority on that one. AT this point,a classic muscle car would be fine by me.

Mega G's chassis available loose yet?

BUD's HO is selling them loose, for 15 bucks

Jimmy,

I would love to see that chassis under a Bad Arse Model T!!!!!!!!!

Great slot builds man as they all rock. I am with Mr. Hill on that gold Traxs body...gotta get one now that I have seen how nice yours looks.

Bob...LAPD is gonna get yah...zilla

sits on a chopped up lifelike t-chass with riggen pick ups and tyco tires and rims.

GO ARMY!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: I likes it!!! The contrasting blue numbers and Army logos look great on that orange...RM

Nice '58 fury where did you manage to find one

Nice '58 fury where did you manage to find one

It's a die cast body from a JL dragster set I bought on ebay.
15 cars for 15 bucks... made for some nice customs!

Many of them had wheelbases that lined up perfectly with a JL tuff ones chassis. I like to sand them out on the inside with a dremel to make them as thin and as light as I can. After I lighten them up as much as possible, I just add 2 screw posts and I'm all set.

You'd be surpirsed how fast these things can go!
The extra weight gives them a nice coasting ability too.

Nice sticker work :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: My pic is the No.5 Texaco sponsored machine...RM
P.S. Can I change my mind???

Nice diecast converts. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice work. :thumbsup:.... You must have an awesome display case full of these great cars by now. How's about breakin loose with a few group pictures though? Got a special Jimotors case?? nd

Very nice work! Pink stocker would be my pick.

Nice batch again VJ!! The pink stocker would be my #1 pick too!! Great job!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

thanks guys.... all but the pink stocker are listed on ebay, if anyone is interested.
The stocker goes into my collection, I like that one the best too.

I'm tracking down various cars from Earnhardt's carrer for my collection. Racing Champions makes alot of them and they're easy to convert because the chassis on them are usually plastic... no dremel drama. You can turn them out in an hour or two. I'm not a huge NASCAR fan and I don't know much about the drivers, I'm a Baseball fan first, football second... but I'm finding myself more and more drawn to racing, all kinds. Earnhardt was such a legend, I'd like to have a 4-6 car collection of his various cars to go with my Petty collection.

I got lucky on the Pinto's chrome engine... I used Testor's spray chrome. I've had mixed results in the past, same with Alcad II . This time, the Testor's came through for me, the finish on the engine is even and super bright... it actually looks like real chrome. Imagine that!

VJ,
More great lookers!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

I didn't think I liked the chrome Daytona but, yours looks great!
