It’s pretty plain I kept adding and making changes and was trying to really screw it up so I cast it like it is and might make a different version latter ? If you notice the mag cap sticking out of the hood in front of the blower. That’s Gale’s setup😃 Thank You for that Gale !! We Miss You !! I’m going to go one step farther and make it a 2 mag setup. |

Herman nice job they look awesome. I’m liking the color. What yellow did you use ? I got some 1966 Dodge Charger Yellow that I’m going to try when I get that far. I almost have a Valiant done to cast. It’s going to have a removable hood. When the car was first built in 66 the blown Chrysler stuck out the hood to keep up with the times the motor was moved back and down for better weight transfer and the driver moved to the back seat. |

Not sure which yellow color that Jamie used on these bodies when casted them. I will be looking forward in seeing your valiant. I'm sure that it will look a lot better then mine.

I got the 57 Chevy Tyco Flip Nose cast and it came out OK. I need to try a more ridged resin. Everything is so thin and real light it needs some stiff*ge  The front noses over a little because the resin I normally use is flexing. Other than that it's pretty good. Gonna make a different hood without a scoop and a blown engine with headers if I can fit them in ?

All the Cheetah talk recently kinda got me side tracked off other things I was working on. It doesn't take much to side track me I cast this one off a JL die cast to fit a 4G. Got a few ideas of different ways to build this one. This body is so different than any production body and might be fun ? A Funny Car ? Gasser ? Fuel Altered ? Or just Stock.

I did a couple non Slot Car trucks. I thought a Hot Wheels Dodge Hauler would be cool to get back and forth to the races with. And when I've Out Procrastinated Myself and didn't make the race it would look cool sitting at the shop or in a diorama ?

Or cut the sleeper off and shorten it up some and Drag race it ?  Untitled by rick williamson, on Flickr |

Found some cool parts on Ebay. Some Funny Car style headers that are really nice and some Moon style fuel tanks. If you Search 1/64 3D there's a lot of stuff in Die Cast and some in slot cars.  Untitled by rick williamson, on Flickr |

The Cheetah's look very cool! I prefer the stock side-pipes on the 4G chassis. Nice 4-barrel carbs and air-cleaners! The trucks are interesting. But the yellow Hairy Canary car on the back is insane!!! Pardon me for playing catch-up.  |

Got to lookin at the 3D stuff that Rick recommended. Found a 73 ElCamino body that I've been wanting, to do a build of the 74 that I had. Just need to graft a Laguna nose on it. Ideal Laguna will be the source for that. Sam, does this look like the style of Roadrunner body that you have been seeking? www.ebay.com/itm/265637898973?hash=item3dd940aadd:g:i2cAAOSwzxpiUx2Z |
