jbwelda Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 hi im new here and i thought i would share some slot cars ive built and/or restored the past couple years! all these are 1/32 scale and im basically a static builder so i tend to do a pretty detailed job of it. in the case of slots though, its build them to look good, then photograph them. *then* put them on the track and after that they are race cars! anyway, feedback always appreciated: first here is a lister resin (fiberglass actually) body i tarted up and mounted on a vintage cox mag chassis. those funky side pipes have since been replaced, though it still needs a windscreen: heres a bottom shot showing chassis and upgraded motor: heres a nissan skyline i adapted to a ninco chassis: heres a cool mgtd roadster that i raced out and mounted on a monogram formula one chassis: and a bottom shot showing chassis with body off: finally heres a lotus elite (lotus 14) clear plastic body on scratchbuild frame: and a shot with body off: hope this didnt take up too much space. ive found i really enjoy the quick build of a slot car and yet being able to detail it enough to have an effect!

oldcars Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Those are so good looking it makes me want to go back to the 60s when we lived at the slot car track. I can smell the compounds we put on our tires too. Those really were the good old days. Thank you for showing your cars. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jairus Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 If they are "in-scale" then they are definitely models! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zebm1 Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Now, like old cars, I wish I hadn't given all of mah slot car stuff to my nephews either.

jbwelda Posted January 19, 2007 Author Share Posted January 19, 2007 >Maserati 161 (Birdcage) bodies around see my post elsewhere of a typo 61 birdcage body that i rescued from the dumpster and restored. at the time i didnt know the manufacturer but then one appeared on ebay MOC. i bid on it but got outbid...dont recall seeing one since. russkit did one in their superleggera (sp?) series but its pretty basic without any tubular superstructure.
