Ligier Runner 12-08-2004, 04:23 PM Very cool indeed. Diggin' the Camaro. :thumbsup:
JPRcustoms 12-08-2004, 04:25 PM Brian,
What can I say? Great work man! The green Willy is such a cool color! And the Henry J is fantastic....always been one of my favorite cars. Keep up the great work!
joez870 12-08-2004, 04:34 PM The new ones are too smooth! I want to climb into the nomad and go cruzin'!
roadrner 12-08-2004, 04:47 PM Look great TX! Got me some spare RRR wheels I'm gonna have to dig out for a couple of Nomads I have layin' around. Really dresssed her up! :thumbsup: rr
TX Street Racer 12-08-2004, 05:14 PM THANKS for the compliments guys........hearing those kind words makes it all worth the work! :D
RoadRunner, that's the previous orange pearl JL/AFX Nomad I posted pics of before...I had previously added screw posts to the body and mounted the JLTO chassis underneath it....all I did was add those RRR wheels, a set of Wizzard silicones to the rear....and kinda tuch those tires up underneath the rear of the body......it truly is a cool slot car.
The Willy's almost appears like an antifreeze color...but it's a Tamiya brand Lime metallic rattle can paint.
The Henry J gasser is a resin body...with interior and driver.......it's one of those Frech bodies from "Racing Legends" .....that body is incredible.
The Camaro has a custom cowl hood.....REAL smooth looking...and really compliments the rest of those lines on that car.
The '64 Nova is a Roger/Robin Corrie resin body......I spent literally days trying to get that chassis with those wheels stuffed underneath it. I heated that body up in water so many times.....just trying to get the wheels to clear without rubbing. After I got the chassis to finally fit the way I wanted it to I cut out the windows....and added the clear glass........I just didn't want the "blacked out" look on such a clean looking body.
If you guys have any critiques for me then I'd be glad to hear them....... don't be afraid to pass on advice that you might htink could help me in the future.
:thumbsup:
jack0fall 12-08-2004, 05:37 PM Hey TX, Man are those some great looking rides... I really love the Henry :thumbsup: So does this mean that you have finished all of your HO customs??? :drunk: I mean now that you are getting into 1/32 and all. :D

Jeff
Nah, no way bro.......In fact, that copper Camaro I posted is just the very beginnings of probably one of my best customs yet to come........ :thumbsup: Joe aka JPRcustoms wants me to build him an all out Pro Street style Camaro.......and I'm going to build one identical for my collection.......
I'm only dabbling somewhat in 1/32.....I really want to do a few custom 1/32 Scalextric Camaros ......but those cars are out of site almost price wise.... :cry: 1/32 is pretty huge around Houston......so I figure I can go play with these guys whenever......so I figured I'd get a few 1/32's into my collection.
I am still a diehard HO guy at heart :)

That is indeed the one Trevor........ that car definately looks GREAT in person.....that blower was pretty sweet......I cut the hood to fit it from the bottom side.....so it wouldn't look like it's just glued on the hood....it's actually coming up fron underneath :thumbsup:
