I was given two grandstands by Mazda several months back and I'm finally getting around to putting one of them on the track. Dave632 sent me some people and I only have enough for one grandstand. The peeps are unpainted so I have been painting them. Talk about tedious! This one will go at the start line and replace my current cardboard ones. I still have some sponsor decals to add to it.

That is looking good Jeff, it is amazing what a difference some colour makes.
The grandstand is from a Soccer game available in England called Subbuteo, they are true 1/64 scale.

I had some adhesive paper left over from my track starting line graphics that I cut into strips and used. The people are hard to find. I am on the lookout for some more. As soon as I find some I will do the other grandstand for the end of the track. |

Will the people be wearing mask and social distancing?

Will the people be wearing mask and social distancing? Nope.....in fact if you're wearing a mask you have to remove it or leave  . Nitro kills the virus  . |

Going to see some 410 sprint cars next week, they smell pretty good too. Those are fun. Love to watch them pull wheelies down the straight and throw it down in the corner at the end! I get to go see the Outlaws every couple of years. |

Nice looking stands Jeff.
Check out E bay for more sitting people. Used to be able to find them there.

I remember Sam and I having built very similar Dyno's while never seeing what the other was doing.

I haven't been casting much lately but I found something that inspired me to mold it. A'69 Mustang Mach I that needs very little work. It will accommodate a 4 gear chassis with no problem at all. I am currently working on the Street version master which will be molded and cast first. Then....of course the Pro Mod version will follow.

There are many people that feel the 69 Mach-1 is the nicest body style Ford ever designed. I tend to agree.

Jeff we are thinking a like I casted that same body along with another 69 Mustang on the left is from the Mega G body. My plans is a Funny Car. I thought it would be a perfect canidate for a Pro Mod or a early Pro Stock too. I think that's what I want to do for your race coming up is use the Mega G Mustang as a Mtn Motor PS if time pemits ? The other Mustang like your casting I wanted to do the FC that I'm still waiting to drive hopefuuly in the near future ? It's finally ready ? And waiting for some track time. Can't wait to see what you come up with. It's a nice casting and fits the 4G really nice and has a lot of possibilities.
