cheetah reboot
Dave B replied to charlie libby's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
PS, not sure what reference material you have but you need; March '64 Hot Rod; November '63 Sports Car Graphic; and November '63 Car & Driver, preferably in that order. Dave B -
cheetah reboot

Looking good Charlie. Don't forget the body has massive tuck under. My old Cox slot car body had a high oil content and I was able to stretch the body over the chassis frequently without breaking the window frame line on the body. Aluminium will be a bit harder to stretch!! Dave B -

Looks great Phil. A mate had a hot Cooper on racing rubber. Boy did we have fun in the dry!! Dave B -

Salt Flats Streamliner
Dave B replied to Dave B's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
Hi Marty, they're from my parts box, wheels are probably early Ford ('40 may be) and tyres are Firestone. Yes, could squeeze a roll hoop under the headrest, just lazy!! Dave B -
Ok, I've finished my streamliner. Scratchbuilt frame under a somewhat modified Hawk/Testor Bonnie Buggy. Flat head and all other items from the parts box, except the scratchbuilt intake and exhaust. At least I finished it!!! Painted in auto acrylic, Triumph Powder Blue, and clear coated. Decals from the spares box. Tks for looking. Dave B

Hi Charlie, Sent you a pm, hope that's ok otherwise yes, you can send a self addressed envelope and I'll reply Dave

Ok, I've finished the salt lake racer but have yet to post 'under glass' so I've started on the 2E. This is a nice file but needs lots of work as usual. Front end and engine detail is really good and it deserved the rear of the body cutting off to reveal it. I've put in about 30 hours so far and a lot more to do to get the nose sitting properly and the interior to fit. Loving it!! Dave B

Bocar XP5 - a 3D print

Nice Ken. Did you draw the file or procure it? Dave B -
Bocar XP5 - a 3D print
Dave B replied to kensar's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
Hi Ken, this will be good, partly because it's 3D printed and secondly because the Bocar's are an obscure vehicle. I enjoy building 3D printed. I have a couple of books that have articles on Ken's cars. Dave B -

This is going to make my Cox slot car conversion to full detail look pretty ordinary!! Go for it. Dave B -

Great looking build William and I like some of the hidden detail i.e. disc rotors. Dave B
