Here is a photo of a couple of project cars. The 64 GTO I finally decided on a paint scheme. I will ad a pinstripe next to the black. The back upper part of the wing is hydro dipped. The 70 Chevelle will get fuel lines, linkage, wing and chute cords.

Here are the photos of my finished GTO and the Chevelle.
The GTO features a hydro dipped wing with an air brushed multi colored body. The Chevelle features blower linkage, fuel lines and chute cords. It is painted jet black and has blue flames.

Thanks guys for thumbs up and kind words. I cut a couple new bodies to widen them this morning, Fords. I have been experimenting with my UV filler. I used it a lot on the 64 GTO Pro Mod I posted. I was looking at the generic AW Pro Stock body and I think I am going to see if I can turn it into a Dodge Avenger. I think I can do it with just a little added plastic and UV filler. I made the Mountain View pro stock decals this morning. I think it would be a fun project. I will keep ya'll posted.....  |

This is a Nostalgia Top Fuel I did . It features custom decals, chute cord, wires and my 3D printed custom wheels and silicone/foam tires.

I have prototype gear designs for 15T done. The bronze gears are tight to press onto an axle. I always drill mine out just a little. It makes pressing the gear on much easier. Then of course you must lap the gear in. I am also redesigning some of my wheels. I want my spoke wheels to have no material between the spokes. I think this will make them more realistic. |

Started work on a set of new contingency sponsor decals. I am designing these so they can be cut out as one decal, but will have several sponsors in the one decal. I am also scaling these down to what I think correct size should be on a HO car. They will be little larger than what you see on AW 4gear drag cars. This will make them easier to read. Looking to make this a race prize along with a few other decal sets.

They say a picture is worth a 1000 words. Well this photo has a lot to say. This is a new 57 Chevy I am working on. In the photo you can see the white decal sheet with my custom blue decals. The blue flame decals are all that comes off the sheet. I make the decals using Paint.net and do the air brushing with that program as well. They come pre cut on the sheet so it makes my work easier. I have been busy working up some for prizes. The photo also gives you a sneak peak at my Modern Funny Car and equipment to be used. I will do a review of the M/FC with the Viper Scale Racing equipment later

Looking good Cuzzo! I am really liking the colors on that 57 and I also like what you are talking about with the decals. Looking forward to the race!

Thank you sir! I have been having a lot of fun with the decals. The flames are harder to install but they can be positioned however you want. I have been learning a lot.

I am getting the Blacktop ready for the Summer Nationals, but parts building still continues.
This is a photo of my latest design. This is my new directional wheel.
The spokes are pass through just like a real wheel. I will be designing the fronts today.
I will have more info later on this wheel.
