Pat smulsky Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 First model built in almost 20 years. So many little tips and tricks have been forgotten. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still very poplular to build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABNSPR Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Great looking LM. I remember when this style first started showing up and dominating the older style cars. Coolest things out there then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sflam123 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 FANTASTIC!! Love it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Sweet oval tracker. I am a fan of the older style recognizable body styles, but these are just wicked looking. You have done an excellent job. Would like more details on this build. Is the body scratchbuilt or vacuum-formed? What chassis did you build from? The world (or at least I do) wants to know. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyK Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Well, after 20 years you built a fine looking model. Love these cars. I'd also like to know some details of your model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also like to know some details of your model. Sorry for the delay, haven't been on this board in a few weeks. Chassis was built 20 years ago. It's a Revell ASA chassis with some slight modifications. The body is scratchbuilt from evergreen sheet. Wheels and hubs are resin cast items for a guy that did them 20 years ago. Decals are custom printed from a guy I know on a FB modeling site. Pretty much all of this stuff is still readily available. Here is a link to a FB sight where you'll see quite few dirt late models. https://www.facebook.com/groups/WFCMotorsportsLLC. roncoon.com has a ton of resin parts and bodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattilacken Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Interesting, we have nothing similar. We have Rallycross, Folkrace( like start decision for rallycross) and speedway, which is motorcycles they drift on dirt, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 These race in Australia as well and I have also built an 80's style car based on the ASA frame. You did a really nice job on this one Pat, welcome back after a long drought! I really like the wheels you chose, were these from Fred's Resin Workshop?

He also has other great parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TECHMAN Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 😎😎😎 That is one Fantastic job on the replica!!!! Used to "hold a grudge" against these, as the "displaced" the old Winged Modifieds in our area, but, with time, have learned to love them too...
