Short Track Goat Sneak Preview 10-18

[Slim Louis]

People have been telling me that the wheel bases on the GM intermediates were shortened frpm 115" to 112" in 68, but did I listen? NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Finally got it to where I can live with it! Freds wheels and seat, PPP tires, AMT 66 442 chassis(115"),Cage and chassis modifications from the speed shop and Louis Brothers Race Team shop, body from the Super Stocker kit. Tamiya racing white paint, Pontiac 400 Motor from the Revell Firebird kit, fits real well, headers and all, yay! Will add a Mica Blue and Red racing stripe full length, decals are ready! This weekend for sure!

Ya'll did say 6 pics right? 640X480? Right?

yo bro i have an idea

dont do the blue with red stripes

the colors battle each other

do a white or a black with the red stripes

or go orange or yellow with the stripes

i seen a stang that was yellow with blue rallies and 1 inch red stipes next to the blue rallies

it looked retarded and screamed that the owner dosent know what hes doing

so thats my $0.02

do with it as you want

Thanks for the advice there, Evilone, I appreciate it! I got a car with the stripes you describe, plus remember these are short track race cars! They look good when there a little out andish! Here's the example

I have in mind:

that thing isnt going anywhere without a driveshaft! Not much of a roundy round guy here ( i dragrace) but cool model none-the-less

Doesn't have a gauge panel or ignition box either. It's not done yet. Guess thats why I put it in the "It's not done yet" section. Thanks for noticing.
