Anything dick Landy is cool. Take a look at the real Landy car in the photo. It's an almost- early-funny car. The rear axle is definitely moved forward a bit as well as the front. The wheel wells are re-arched to somewhat 'disguise' it, as if it would fool tech inspectors! The Bob Ford T bolt is a great replica. The steel wheels with white walls are a perfect touch.

John, when I read your post about the altered wheelbase on the Landy 330 it reminded me of a little trick Don Garlits did to get an advantage off the starting line. Remember the 4 inch offset on the front wheels to give them more rollout without red lighting on the 5/10ths christmas trees?   |

And when I started thinking about it, I realized I could do this: (Grill with the "GTO" logo)  And this: (tail lights and license plate)  Now this is too cool!  |

Hi guys! Well...here are pics of my two entries. All of the decals were printed out on my 'puter.. Can't remember, I think the graphics came from somewhere else, and I just saved em. Simply made 'em smaller in Photoshop. Considering I haven't touched an HO scale slot car in 38 years (have done 1/64 scale diecasts, but NOT slots..lol) I think they look pretty good! Got some flaws in the paint, ESPECIALLY the Dodge..but, overall I think I did ok! Whatcha think? Ron (Bondo)   |

Very cool Ron! They both look excellent. It's nice to see all the custom work everyone has been doing. |
