Yes indeed. This is another one of those things Willis was talkin' bout :)

I really, really like that Nova for this series. Well done so far.

Seem you are coming after me and my low-rent "Stinker 2.OH". I'm ready :)

That's going to be a looker Dave. That body just looks good slammed with fatty's on it.
Color????
Certainly an inspiration to get off my butt and get started on mine!
Thanks

Like what I am seeing guys!!! :handgestures-thumbup:
I have an email in with Mark T to see about some inserts, etc and will be kicking my build off shortly (been having too much fun focusing on the Halloween cars at the moment though!) :D
Thanks for sharing the progress shots guys - keep them coming!

Dave - that's a great looking Nova with an impressive stance on the chassis. I'm looking forward to seeing this car put to the test.

I've built offset slot cars too, but always had the guide in the center of the chassis. I thought about trying your design but imagined the car might 'crab' down the track like a car with a bent frame. If I were racing with you on an oval I'd love being inside of you, but probably not on the outside trying to make a pass.
