Fantastic. All of it, and the body mount system is perfect.

Cut the roof off and stripped all the body part for a repaint and couldnt bring myself to do it, looks fine just the way it is! Modified the interior a bit and added a cover and she's done. Stock chassis with an MT-1, SCX Pro 10/26 gearing, SCC steelies with PG rubber. May change out the guide, havent decided yet.

Patrick?

Thanks fellas, that duct tape makes some nice roll cage padding, lol

Nice ride there Harry, thinking about that B-Nova guide thing myself, is it as simple as it looks?

I think so. Just need to sand a little bit to get the trim ring to fit.

Once you start using them though, it gets addictive :)

The duct tape idea is a keeper. Only slot racers can come up with so many uses for innocent items.

Steve super job brother, glad to see you join the event, and your right no need to repaint, maybe I could bribe you to run the first round with me. But maybe not after I tell you that the car needs to be lifted a bit. It`s a little to low. From pictures I`ve researched, all cars have visible at the least the top of the front rim under the fender. Most 90% of the tire shows. Sorry

Harry your Zipper top seems to have blown away :o

Hi Sadco,
That 57 looks really good. What size steelies are those? 15x7 or 15x8?

Those are all great looking. I wish I had time to do a car, too. I wanted to do the black or red stock street version of the Plymouth from Carrera, but I had so much trouble with the Porsche project I don't think I can get one done in time with two other proxies going on.

These are all awesome! I think what surprises me the most is how clean the tops came off the '57 and the Fury! Really great work!
