Thanks
Now I can customize cars to my heart's content, and not worry about cutting up a car body worth $50.00!!! Even though they're just "pull-back action" toys, the bodies are perfect fit for several slotcar chassis. And they have several of the classic bodies available, like the VW Baja Bug, Cobra, Nomad, and Willys, just to name a few. I'll be working on 2 or 3 projects in the near future, both for my local 3/8 mile oval track. They don't race NASCAR there (even though I will), so I need some Classic Modifieds (Willys) Late Model Modifieds (90's Stocker) and Open Wheel Modifieds (anything that'll clip on a chassis). If these come out good, I will make several bodies detailed after the local Oval Warrior Heroes, to recreate Saturday Night Stock Car Fever at home!
You can also repaint these bodies and make your favorite car without ruining a classic slotcar. For Stock Cars, there are a lot of cool choices. They have Buick Grand Nationals for classic NASCAR or go wild and customize for Super Mods. 70's Stock Cars look like Chevys, Acme Stock Cars (look like Petty's Plymouth from the late 70's) and a Dodge Charger too. They have a classic Ford Fairlane Stock Car from the late 60's and the Dodge Daytona Hi-wing Stockcar from about '70. They also have several of the big pony cars that they run on Saturday Nights. Camaros, the big Mustangs (70's), GTOs, Challengers, Chevelles, Hemi Cuda's, and Javelins most in the 70's vintage. Also, several of these cars were used in Trans-Am racing, along with the '57 Hardtop and Convertibles and Grand Sport Corvettes, and Cobras. For racing this decade they have a Dodge Viper too. And you can make any of these into a dragster - including the Willys and '57 Nomad. In short - they have a lot of cool bodies to choose from - what a great thing!
The 90's Stock Car I got will become a Late Model Modified, slant nose, slab side, with a huge rear spoiler. (If you think this is Custom, you should see my Sling Shot Dragster!
) I'm using pictures from Circle Track magazine and actual cars from the local track as a guide, nothing too fancy yet. The Willys will become a classic Modified Coupe from the 60's - no fenders, open wheels, tall radiator, rounded windows. Right now I'm using some pictures I found on the Internet - I think I used keywords like "modified stock car". Here's a picture of the stock 90's Stock Car (T-Bird), before the cutting begins!Slotcar Home - running on the floor for now
