A handsome car and a pretty pair.

Tsgtret,

The lighting bits that came out of the ROAR #20 are sitting in a parts tub here. PM your address and they are yours.

Nice pairing! Is the coupe actually wider than the #19 roadster; it looks like it is.

Very cool to see the coupe! I have a couple different versions of the roadster - but none of the coupe.
Nice to see it getting some love. :)

Dave thats a great restoration right there.
You did it proud.
Couple of ideas for lights.
The cheapest are the old artin lights that came with some of the chassis they put out.
Other idea especially if you want head and tail lights is along the lines of Slot it .
I believe BRS also sell lighting kits.
Nice work

Very nice job. The Scalextric cars are really difficult to work with if you want to modify them.

Nice re-do Dave! I still have some halogen LED's if you want more.

Thanks folks; always appreciate the comments.

McLiams, PM sent!

Allan, they are the same size (same chassis, in fact), it's just a trick of the camera (and perhaps my photography at 2 AM!).

Chappy, great suggestions I already tried some during the build :roll: .

Bob I have some lighting on hand (some thanks to you :mrgreen: ) but the there is so little room in the chassis that I almost have to go with the factory set up. BTW, this is not "Dragon Fodder"!

Well, everybody already said how nice the car turned out and anything else I would have said, so I'll go for the exhausts. Those little suckers are hard to get right. I have that car and when one of them popped off and got lost, I spent way more time than I thought I would getting it replaced. Just as I was about to take the remaining one off because I couldn't make a satisfactory match, the old one turned up. But I was amazed at how hard that was to do. The best solution I came up with was aluminum tubing slightly flared full length with a diamond mini reamer- $3 (http://www.sciplus.com/p/DIAMONDCOATED- ... MERS_53275), used as a mandrel, then hot glued in place, but as I say, I only made one and then didn't use it. Good luck if you decide to make a do-over on those buggers.

Oh I forgot. If you ever want the plaid seat covers, believe it or not, Pattos actually has them as part of the set for the 190.

It's looking better with the exhaust painted. You don't see a lot of these around, I'm glad you shared it with us.

She looks great!
