First 2 "Studezilla" bodies out of the mold .
Got tired of workin' on it so I went with a 4-gear medium wheelbase. If someone was ambitious, it wouldn't be that hard to fit it to a viper or similar chassis. Besides, I got product to use up and gotta put the move on . Been wanting to do a salt flats Stude. Look like a good candidate.

Love a Willys, but liking that Stude...!!! Looks like the casting came out great...Well done...!!! RM Thanks a bunch, Randy! It needs it's fair share of prep work , but overall, I'm pleased with it.

Gale What a Great Race, They Just Keep on Getting More Existing, You Keep on Reaching for the Stars with the Professional way you Host a Event, With the word for word details, The Great Vidio footage, "THE ๐ถ MUSIC" And the Great Photo's. But even after you spend nearly 2 weeks ๐ค before and after, Maybe more ! I Received my ๐'s back this week, As I went to open the box I frist noticed the Professional label you put on the box, As I went throw my package it was like ๐, With all the very useful Prizes, The Drag Cars and everything were so carefully packaged and carried for. Gale thank you. From Finistauri

Thanks Mike! Appreciate knowing all got there safe and sound! Appreciate the kudos and glad you enjoyed the race, I did too!
As you well know, there's a lot of effort goes into hosting a proxy race and it being appreciated makes it all worth while .

Here's another little toy I got put together today. I put the ol' dynometer on the shelf as it was too fussy to make use of and all I ever used it for was warming up cars. This should prove to be a little easier to use for my needs. Had some different variations of the run in blocks I made a couple years ago and used those to make a bank of break in blocks. Wish I'd had this during the race, would've made warming up cars a little quicker. Fun stuff .
Gale Glad I checked in to see what going on with The Good Time Super Speedway this morning ๐, Super Cool Video ๐ Last Year at my frist race Race, You sent me back a bunch of Super prizes, Along with was this little block , I thought it to be a very cool display-Business card Idea, ๐ค Well Ain't That Rockin, I don't have a track set up "No Room" Usually take them out to the Bulldozer to warm them up our the Wife's Van, ๐ค But now I have a new Idea I can hook my leads to this Dandy Device with my wire leads and really have some fun, Some time ago I was thinking to buy a warm up box from Lucky Bob's, Price was not to bad $35.00 but you know me buying parts to build, is top priority for my addiction, "THE NEED FOR SPEED" Trully have not got there on my own yet, Like my last attempt at The Good Time Super Speedway, My โฝ Gasser & 4-Gear were found dead on the side of the Road. ๐ค My OutLaw Dragons ๐ did pretty good ๐ Wonder Why Thanks to Dave632 Last Year I Got one of Gale's Awesome Trophies ๐ And have a Super ๐ 3Gear this year that can make it to the finish line. If I built them, they would live in the shark ๐ฆ pool And also Thanks also to Gnome ,Jeff Graybeal I have a Outlaw 4-gear that doesn't live with the Sharks ๐ฆ Many Thanks Gale. ๐in-istauri

I'm pretty excited about this one. It's an AJR Mustang ready for the paint booth. Chassis is ready and will be entering it in the Kiwi race!

That's a nice looking body as are all the bodies that come out of the Angry Jeff stable. Can't wait to see some paint on it. Couldn't help but notice the VW Funny Car sharing the shop I cast one of those years ago and wasn't happy with the way it turned out and never did anything with it. Some day I might redo it ? Thanks for sharing. Untitled by rick williamson, on Flickr

Thanks for sharing. Untitled by rick williamson, on Flickr Thanks Rick, appreciate the encouragement! Hoping to get paint on it this weekend. Have a "gasser" body that's almost ready and want to try to paint both. Glad you picked up on the 'teaser' of the VW . Really glad you shared a pic of your rendition of it! Pretty sure it's going to be my next casting project. I love the way you put the vertical piece on the wing. I was considering doing the wing separate but like your approach much better, going to toy with that route and see where it goes. I have a picture of a similar V-dub out of Australia on my computer slide show that has a bit of a front spoiler that I might try to add on. After I get pretty much all done for the upcoming Bear Creek race, gonna jump on it. Any pertaining tips on this particular body, I'm all ears!

Really like the front spoiler. Always felt it needed one just haven't done it yet. Want to redo the rear as well. I always get excited when I see one of my bodies customized by someone else. Is that VW a die cast? I would like to cast that one as well.

Yeah, the V-dub is too rad, had to have it. It is a die-cast and will be my next casting attempt. Appears to be the same one that Rick cast a few years back. Here's a pic of the die-cast.
And, the wheelbase is next to perfect for the LWB 4-gear chassis

Like the Mustang. Personally I think the 05 style Mustang body is the best looking one ever made. 05 Mustang 1
05 Mustang 2

The wing is open between the struts, the previous picture I had not cleaned the resin slag or what ever it's called between the struts. Its a hard one to cast with the wing attached. you can see the resin glob if you look closely under the back window. That's what I wasn't pleased with. It can be removed to look good but it wasn't right and wanted to redo but never did. It's pretty narrow but can be made to fit the 4G with a little work. But it is a very cool looking body and you will have fun casting it. Good Luck ! Untitled by rick williamson, on Flickr
