I've been working at my typical snail's pace on a set of Bad Dawg (roooff) Roughrider modifieds and I finally have them completed. One good thing about the snail's pace is you can work on several cars at once because nothing is being done too quickly :thumbsup:

Anyway, here's the line-up . . .

Everyone pick up something white or bright and wave it at your favorite driver as they come past the grandstands before the start of our 30-lap feature . . .

The late, great Richie Evans was the inspiration for the #61 . . .

Great looking cars!!....now you need a turquoise 8 ball to go with the 61.
A bunch of these are on my "round toit" list. Nice to see a field of them done up.

.....you can work on several cars at once because nothing is being done too quickly :thumbsup: . . .

... we hardly noticed. :rolleyes: .... All great cars 'doba. Looks like a fun group to run. My fave is the 5-car (sweet 3 tone). :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

That 47 looks so authentic! I think it's the numbers. I bet it's Randy's favorite.

Rich :thumbsup:

PS, watched the modified race last week at Bristol.
Somehow, it seemed inevitable that Newman would slap the wall.
It reminded me of that time at Watkins Glen, in 96 or 97, when Dorsey Schrader was the in car commentator. He was gonna show the world how to get around Watkins Glen in a Nascar. Some thought he might even be a favorite to win, being such a road course specialists. He spun out in the first couple of laps, did something to the suspension. Threw him out of the race. As the smoke was clearing on the in car camera, there was a long awkward silence. As they started to talk to him, you could hear in his voice, he felt like he just had his pants pulled down in front of millions of people. I felt sorry for him, but it was too funny not to laugh. After all the prerace build up, I kinda got the same feeling when Newman hit the wall an the second lap. It was kinda funny.

Great builds Doba, you got a whole IROC class for your bullring. :thumbsup:

Wow!!! The man builds his on 6 pack. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Looks like it's gonna be an exciting Feature Race. I guess ya'll know which one I'm pulling for!!! Wish I could be there!!! ... RM

Kool bods sure wish he made em for afx !Just not a tyco guy,

Beautius Maximus Doba ! Very neyes indeedy !

Bear:wave:

Thanks guys! :)

I should add that I added roll bars and window nets from old diecast NASCOORS to add a little more to the look.

A lot of the decals were Pattos, old original Auto World, RRR and some micro something or other Peel & Sticks. I detailed the block, headers, carbs and stacks on the cars. The red blocks are Chevys, the blue block is a Ford and the black blocks are race blocks. Track rules calls for bumpers to be painted white so they can be seen easier at night under the lights if they fly off. :tongue:

Nice job on the rough riders Dawgs Doba:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Sweet Cars man!!! :thumbsup:

Can you put 440x2 under them?

Not at this time.I am working on an AFX magnatraction version and t-jet version . Biggest hurdle is the chassis configuration where the chassis gets in the way of the engine detail. I'm working on a new engine detail that has a lower proifile so they will work and when that is done then the 440x2 chassis will fit too. So much to do and I'm fitting them in with rat rods and all WES.

No - STOP! They only fit the Curvehugger right now -- Bruce needs to re-work them to fit the later Tyco chassis. The molded engine won't clear the motor bulkhead on the 440X2 and HP7.
