Howdy all!

I know this group is mainly HO, but I had some time today and thought I would post a Homemade body of another scale. We have a local 1/24th track that most of us HOSERS that race HO's also partake in the 1/24th scale.

After looking at "latemodel" bodies for HO. 1/32nd & 1/24th bodies on a web site for sale, I decided to try my hand at it.

Pretty simple, after I constructed a template. Laid out in a "Print Artist" program. They are two piece. I print out the pieces, trace out with the template, laminate and assemble.

Most all of the 1/24th cars I race are now covered with these bodies.

Pretty cool car you've got there Warren. I own a couple of 1/32 slots....and have had a blast racing those previously. I have wanted to build a few 1/24 drag cars....mainly because they use model car bodies most of the time....and I love building drag raced themed 1/24 scale kits.

I still have an old box of 1/24th scale cars too. I used to go racing at the local slot hut just about every weekend. Let me know if you want pics.

cheers..

Sharp! May have to try something like that in HO. ;) rr

Sounds good boss9, pictures would be good as I am always interested in old stuff and parts. The 1/24th's aren't any different than any other scale - enjoyable to tinker with and build/adjust just to see if you can make'em competitive!

Ya roadrner, I've thought the same thing. I acquired the idea from a website called "Hot Laps Dirt Track Racing Slotcars". They actually build Latemodels, Modifieds and Sprint car bodies in a similar fashion to what I have done.

Keep'er in the Slot,

Hey there Pairadice (love that name, by the way),

I had a time finding these-- they were really buried.

I have a few more and I know I had a lot more but they strangely disappeared--Dad was known to take my stuff he thought I didn't want anymore, so he most likely got them :rolleyes:. I wish I still had my Russkit Lola. It was a twin motor and four-wheel drive if I remember rightly. :confused:

Cheers..

That Batmobile ROCKS Phil!!!

I'd be scared to death to run it though.....

That J-car looks really sharp.
