Sam that track is beautiful. I've always liked a black or dark gray track. You may already know this, but in case you don't....you want to make sure that the cars don't stop too suddenly in the catch box. Especially the 4 gear cars. All of that energy stopping too quickly can strip gears....typically the crown. FYI. With Bear Creek having such a short shut down that is something that I have had to watch closely. I am stoked to be running on your track soon!! Great job so far! The excitement is building!

Good thought on the box JJ. The rails are jumped on the shut down but the beginning of the catch box could be a little more friendly. The catch box itself is 2 feet long although it looks smaller in the picture. I moved the beginning of the weight towel to the top of the box. This let's the sheet slow them down before the weighted section. The back of the box has some emergency crash foam built in and steel shut down plate after the track.   |

Sam really nice !! The Panel looks really awesome!! Looks to me like there’s move involved and harder to create the look than a regular paint job.

It is Rick and its easy to go overboard. On the truck I was going for some rusted wheel wells and by the time I said "that looks pretty cool " a couple times, the whole truck was weathered up.

Those are cool looking Sam. I have never tried to do a weathered custom. I may have to find the right candidate and give it a try.
