Tks guys, appreciate the comments. Greg, no interior photos, sorry, but yes I did some basic detailing. Michael, except for the intake manifold and carbies I used the kit flathead. Painted the heads with a Molotow chrome pen, they are fantastic. I also substituted the kit glass for some thin clear plastic sheet. Dave B ☺

Needed a break from sports/racing cars. Dechromed, radiused wheel arches, filled running boards, wheels from the parts box and re-released AMT tyres. Painted in auto acrylic, clear red over silver. Tks for looking. Dave B

Tks guys. Bruce, that was the first thing I did after reviewing the post!!? Dave B

Hi AFX, no it isn't, it's just a basic transkit I found on eBay around 8 years ago. No glass and basic Sunoco decals. Dave B

Tks guys, appreciate the kind words. Dave B

My take on George Wintersteen's GS roadster chassis 002. Kit from Accurate Miniatures, basic resin transkit body bought of Ebay abut 8 years ago (when Oz dollar had parity), Vintage Racing Miniatures decals (the BEST!!), Model Car Garage photo etch detail set and my own wheels and vacformed glass. Painted with auto acrylic. Was a fun build but in hindsight could do better, should have bought and additional body and built the prototype as well as the transkit includes the head rest. Thanks for looking. Dave B

Very nice build Larry, congratulations. Dave B

Nice build William Dave B

Tks guys, appreciate the comments. Dave B

Hi Kurt, Yes I did fabricate the side windows and no they don't move. As for the original body I gave it to a mate, the one that gave me the '64 body, although some years later. Regards Dave B

I'm finally building the GS roadster transkit that I bought off Ebay years ago. It obviously uses the Accurate Miniatures kit but I am using a Model Car Garage photo etch update set. I have also shortened the coil spring towers and will install home made coils with a set of appropriate plastic shocks. Not quite sure why I am doing this as it will not be readily visible on the built kit but it annoyed me immensely when building my Jim Hall version some time back. Just to be different this will be George Wintersteen's car with the big American mags. Have had the VRM decals for years. Tks for looking. Dave B

An old build of mine that I do not recall posting previously. Once again an old slot car body, although this time Japanese and maybe Midori. I fixed the rear roofline to reflect the short roof version and fitted it over a Gunze Sanyo '62 250 GTO. chassis and interior. Perfect fit, can be lucky sometimes. Sprayed with auto acrylic and decals from the parts box, of course!! Tks for looking. Dave

Nice build of an awkward kit William. Dave B

Tks guys, appreciate the kind words. Dave B

Nice build Garry, look forward to seeing more. Dave B

I was lucky enough to be given a mint Revell Lotus 23 slot car body some time back. It was minus head lights and head light glass but the glass could be vacformed. Finally decided to build it. Cut away the interior panel and scratch built the interior. Cast some suitable "wobbly" wheels, tyres and seats and painted it with auto acrylic. Decals out of the parts box. Looks great sitting besides my Maserati Tipo 61's, Lotus 11's and other period racing sports cars. Tks for looking Dave B

Nice clean build Jason. Regards Dave B

Tks all, appreciate the kind words. Dave B

Some time back I was lucky enough to be given an old scale vac form body of this car, see On The Workbench and the subject title is Lola GT Mk VI (Mecom version) Anyway using 0.040" styrene I peaked the nose and vacformed new sills as they were both flat to allow the slot car body to come off the pattern. I finished in auto acrylic and used VRM Mecom Corvette Grand Sport decals. I know it is not correct and in this body configuration it never ran as #2 but I am rather pleased with it. It is basically a curbside with motor for the quad cross over webers and a rather amateurish rear suspension visible under the rear glass. It has completed a gap in my Ford GT collection. Thanks for looking Dave B

Great build Janne, come on summer!! Dave B

Phil, these look great, tks for sharing. Dave B

Nice build Jason. Is your next red car a 1/12 MFH P4? Dave B

Hi Shawn, fantastic building of a true Aussie Falcon. Brings back memories as some years back I owned a biege 4.1 S pack!! Makes my scratch building look positively utilitarian. All the best Dave B

Tks guys, Yes Jason it is the Tamiya kit Dave B

Just a couple of pics of my take on Bob Jane's ATCC winning 4.2L Mk11 Jag. Tks for looking
