  1. Congratzz :D Great photos and most of all that I liked

    was the peoples reaction to the models....Im. sure that

    the real cars are unreal and the souds and smell, you can't

    beat it, but there is something magical when you can duplicate

    to almost perfection and sometimes better the look of the 1:1

    counterpart. and that is why every car show should have a model show like this.

    It is the same dedication, and passion you get when you restore this pieces of

    racing history.

    Will like to see your 956 up close and I wanted to go there but decided

    to go to Sebring to the historical races at the end of this month insted

    only if I knew.

    I live in Florida, West Palm Beach...so is just a 3 hour drive...next year.

    Gracias, por representarnos boriqua, y continua tu conquista.

    PS, The guy covering his face.......been there, but worst i was with the wife.

  2. HOPE TO MET YOU NEXT SATURDAY IN THE SHOW IN PLANTATION, FLORIDA.

    AND CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR STUFF. i HAVEN'T BEEN IN A SHOW IN YEARS.

    I USUALLY BRING ONE OR TWO OF MY LAST BUILTS. DEPENDING ON WHO DOES THE

    SHOW AND HOW MANY PARTICIPANTS COME, IF IT IS A SMALL GATHERING, I BRING

    EVERYTHING, TO SUPORT THE HOBBIE. BUT MY GOAL IS TO BRING ONE FOR EACH OF MY FAVORITE CLASSES. STREET,CUSTOM,RACING STRAIT LINE AND ROAD RACING....IF I HAVE TIME MAYBE A THEME CAR, WILL BE THERE AROUND 12:00PM AND WILL BRING SOME OF MY DRAWINGS AND IDEAS FOR FUTURE PROJECTS. iF YOU NEED HELP, I COULD SHOW UP AROUND 10:00 OR SO, I WILL BE IN BOCA

    EARLY IN THE MORNING AND I WILL BE IN THE AREA.

    tHANK yOU kEN.

  3. The overall style is cool, but where are the mirrors,

    and why is there a hole in the hood? :blink:

    When I took the photos, the mirros where the last thing.

    but they are in. the hole has a glass and is to show the ingine.

    I seen it in some hot wheels and I saw it in a ferrari and I liked the idea.

    No is not a hole for a mising blower.

    Thanks for the critique.

    mirros and glass included now!!

  4. I've often wondered - how do you use a styrene model for slot cars? I've seen a few slot car tracks and they move so fast a single wipe out would reduce a model car to scrap in an eyeblink. Seems like an LOT of work for something that can be trash in a few minutes. Please explain.

    This is a plastic 1:24 scale boby out of a model kit

    and this cars all they need after a night of racing is a good cleanning.

    You do not have to woorie about wipe outs, this is stright line racing.

    The only way you can have an accident is if yo drop it or if you do not check

    at the bottom of the race track to see if they picked up the last cars that

    went before you did. Its a great way to see your model racing other modelist

    Check it out ;)

  5. love your style, specially when you combine two trnds at the same time.

    the first one a low rider with the drag attitude, who knows if that is the new

    thing coming soon. keep on posting, we will be watching. ;)

  6. Amazing work all of you.

    This is my first year working with slot cars, but I have been building for a while.

    Slot racing is modeling to a new level and the details that are showing today

    it tells you where the hobbie is going,,,keep up the great work and thank you for having this

    forum where all can learn from each other and see the progress :lol::lol::lol:

    This body I did it out of a stock 06 camaro plastic and with a scratched built wing

    and chin, and a resin pro stock scoop, gave it the right look......and going for the

    Big Money sponsors.. I used some decals I had from a Top Fuel model I never built.

    This was for a good friend of mine in Puerto Rico and as you can see the car already

    made it to the winner circle.

    Check the Art car forum for some of my other work.

  9. :D thank you for your coments...it is really appresiated.

    no its not my first built, but after watching your work and seeing how you guys build.

    I decided to take my time and for the first time I feel I am not rushing thru.

    and I was able to learn from this one and I can't wait to start in my other project.

    the next one will take more time and skill. a 2006 mustang pro stock. using a resin body

    and a 84 Pro stock T Bird kit ror the chassie. Will not do what I did in the past. Jam a body

    on top of the pro stock chassie, will do what I saw here, will use the floor but create a roll cage

    base on the body style and up to standard for todays Pro Stocks. will be my first...... :huh:

    and for the friend that saw RAYMOND BEADLE LIVE........I understand the love.

    I saw him in Florida in his last exibition runs and I also saw Tom "Mongoose" McEwen,,

    when he was driving his 57 BelAir and got his signature. My dad back then worked with a former

    PRO STOCK RACER Richard De Lisi the "Waco Kid" and he knew all of them personally,

    my dad broughd back a bunch of stuff sign for me and its funny Beadle own the nascar team Kodiac

    wich became Rusty Wallace big break. He got me a crew team shirt of this. I still have it.

    So you understand the love and why we try so hard in making good replicas.

    I was to small to go oveerseas and go to the races, I was living in PuertoRico then.

    but when I moved to Florida in 85,,,,and later got my licence...I lived in the track.

    and yearly I go to Gainsville.

    Will love to attent one day to the GOODGUYS event and see the old school funny cars again.
