Hi All, Im new here today and this is my first post....hope I do it right. Ive got a million questions for you guys here,so I hope I dont get on your nerves. I build and paint custom Hot Wheels, and do the custom seminar for Mattel at the Hot Wheel conventions. Ive recently come across HO Drag Racing while playing on the web...and It sparked the days of youth when I had my own tracks and cars. So I bought this 40 Willys to play around with and now Im hooked....dont even own 1 piece of track....YET!....but looking to set up a drag strip in the basement soon. Ive seen some VERY COOL stuff on this site and only been here an hour. One of the things I would like to know is where you guys get the cool Gasser bodies like the Henry J....33 willys...nash...Austin...etc. Thanks and hope to know you all better soon.

Welcome, Vman. Glad to have you.
Feel free to ask any questions. All the guys and gals here are really good at that.
As far as the bodies and such, try the sponsor listings at the bottom of the home page. Jag hobbies is a good place to start. Then there are the custom resins, that are available also.
We are in the middle of our spring nationals. Enjoy.

Vman nice looking paint work...The 33 Willy's and some 33 / 40 Willy's pickups can be found at Hairy Canary resins. Jag hobbies has the Henry J's but don't wait to long as they are discontinued and they are running out

Im wanting to eventually build a drag strip,but dont want to rush into it,then decide I should have went a different direction. Ive nseen the box sets you can buy,but also seen quite a few pics of tracks that are grey in color and look like they may have been custom made-not out of box....can you shoot me an email and let me pic your brain a little? Good to chat at you again Ron-V vmancustoms@yahoo.com |
