Dirt Demon

What Irked me today.... Well .... A guy that makes and sells brass parts for dirt cars.... He doesn't like me ..... But is using my latest build to promote his products ..... What a joke he is!

Well......another update. It's almost done now! still have to clear the hood, and my trick carbon fiber helmet!

The Blues put on a great show. They were here in Upstate N.Y. A few years back at Binghamton and Rochester. I went to Both of those shows. It really is amazing when they do a high speed pass then show how slow a 25,000 pound aircraft can fly! Murphy's law says it should fall out of the sky!

There is going to be a Sea Harrier....Jump Jet there as well. I saw one a few years back doing a slow hovering piroette above the tarmac...it to was very cool to watch!

Any Airshow goers out there?... The USAF Thunderbirds are in Rochester, N.Y. this weekend......Aug 16-17 Ive been to a few airshows up here where I live and have seen both the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels perform...... Both Demonstration teams are awesome! Im taking my girlfriend to see them this Sunday..... she has never seen them, she's in for a real treat! lol!.......especially when one does a sneak low fly over on the loud pedal!

Thanks Glenn..... My first ever attempt at a West Coast logger..

I can make you one if you would like. Just send me a PM..

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Well guys here's a little update on my late model...... Here is a few pics of my scratch built EZlift Race car stand. itworks just like the real one with working cylinders!

This is so true Tom..... That's where the no issues with money comes in.. Lol!

I'm set for life as far as model building. I have tons of tools.....supplies.... Paints.... And most importantly..... Tons of kits.....from Military to civilian......I'm a happy camper!.... Money wise.... Not an issue.

thanks for the kind words guys!

thanks guys!.... the A frames are scratch built from evergreen styrene rod and tubing........The front spindles and all other brass parts came from Dirtmodeler.com.

I was at this race and saw the whole thing... Including the aftermath. What the news and videos don't show the public is that after it all happened.... Tony didn't even walk back to the scene to see if Kevin was ok. He went straight to the pits and into his Hauler. What kind of person is he? Yes the whole thing could have been avoided.... But sadly it ended with a tragedy... It's going to be a long road of healing for his family and friends.... RIP Kevin.

Nice one Jeremy!...lol

Tim McCreadie is a friend of mine.....I plan on showing him this car when it's finished. I've followed his dad...."Barefoot" Bob McCreadie throughout his whole career.... And he to is a good friend of mine and my family's .

First off .....this is a modeling forum.... not a place to post links to those sickening videos of Kevin getting run over! I was at that race last night, and know what I heard and seen. Show a little respect for him, his family, and friends for Christ sake!

Thanks guys! I will be trying out a new trick 3d printed nose piece that will be supplied by John Strycharske from Scale Racing Authentics. He is the creator and designer of those beautiful sets of Tim McCreadie waterslide and vinyl decals that I have.

here's a few more updated photos of some more work I got done on it today......

yeah, kinda like working with a time piece..... very tiny stuff..lol!

Oh... sorry guys.......its 1/24 scale.

Thanks guys..... I'll be posting some updated photos soon. I'm in the process of plumbing the whole car right now.

here are some pics with the chassis painted..... The suspension and steering are all fully functional. The wheels are Aluminum, and they are from MicroNitro......and they can be displayed on or off the car.

Well Guys.....Here is another project that Ive been working on and off on. As you know, I love dirt cars........so heres what Ive been tinkering with. A World of Outlaws Dirt Late model. Tim McCreadie's to be exact! these are the custom made decals for this build.... as you can see I have several to choose from...lol

It's clear.... Just spray your parts and it's done.... It's just a clear Barrier coat so the paint won't rub off.
