Oldest (possibly slowest) to newest (possibly fastest) HO chassis?
Dwight55 replied to Monty's topic in Model Car Racing
IMO, its hard to beat Wizzards, but Vipers will put up a good fight. As far as "factory" goes, (tyco Afx etc) they are pretty lame without major modifications. -

I just tried to join a franklin/danbury mint group page on facebook and got denied. I have about 55 mints in my collection and am a member of almost 200 page groups and have never been denied before. Anyone know anything about this page? I am confused.

Rustoleum paints are terrible.
Dwight55 replied to James Maynard's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ever since they started making primer and paint together, I've had problems with that brand. And Krylon is just as bad -
You can go to Speedway Auto mall and see 4 different tracks there.

I've been there but haven't raced there yet. I run HO scale usually in Rockford.

MODEL CAR RACING
Dwight55 replied to marty blackmon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We race 1/24th and HO here in northern ILL, but it's not always Nascar. Dirt, modifieds, and Indy to name a few -
Someone paid $600 for a '68 Coronet Yikes!
Dwight55 replied to Bills72sj's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've had 1 for years, but whoever built it cut a hole in the hood for the injector tubes. Doesn't appear to have been ever painted though -
Italian chassis maker Dallara to build Gen 7 chassis for NASCAR
Dwight55 replied to Vietnam Vet67's topic in WIP: NASCAR
I have only 2 words to say about Nas(ty)car........Who cares?" -
It sure looks authentic to me. On both the car and flatbed

Hi Mike, 395 for a motor sounds very high end. Are you in it for fun or serious competition? We race HO scale in Rockford, but the "season" is almost over as we only have 2 more to go. BTW there is a big scale track in Rockford (on Broadway) if your ever in town........

Glue Bomb Makeover: '68 Motion Performance SS427 Corvette
Dwight55 replied to Snake45's topic in Model Cars
I do like that fiery orange. It could pass for a factory color IMO. But I must say the OB must not read instructions by looking at that taillight trick he pulled. I about choked on that pic...... -
That is the number 1 reason I don't watch Nas(ty)car anymore. Fed up with the dumb rule changes
-
Welcome Jac, from your northern neighbor. Love that 68....
-
MPC did a 63 corvette that was well detailed. Working front suspension but no opening doors, figure that one out. I have heard they (AMT) will reissue the 55 nomad soon.
-
I did not see anyone mention a 69 El Cam. I realize a 68 is close, but a real 69, that would be my 1st pick.

Howdy Roger from your northern neighbor.

about how many models have you
Dwight55 replied to bubbaman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have been building/collecting for over 40 years. My wife and I tried to inventory them once, and was distracted after 3 days effort. Never got finished but the count then was 3000. That was about 10 years ago. Whenever the Good Lord calls me home, there's gonna be one heck of an action. -
Welcome Dan. All I can say is watch that Dr.K ....... He keeps that knife blade real sharp. HAha Seriously I'm your neighbor to the south.
