Here's Tony Dye's Pinto wagon. He used our Body, Rims, Tires, Valve Covers, Oil Pan, Carburetor, and Fuel Cell. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tony added the vent holes and made the bumper out of .062 solder. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Headers are out of a Pro Stock Olds kit. Valve covers and carburetor are our resin. Brake cylinders are from an old AMT NASCAR kit. |

Close up of R-017 rear rim that Tony added our bead lock to. |

Tony's attention to detail is what keeps me on my toes and inspires me to do better. Like this exhaust plate cover with rivets. |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
I love taking these interior shots. |
|
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
The front bumper was made out of .062 solder as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clear lexan side panels riveted in place gives a nice place to stick sponsor decals.You can see Tony added a little flair to the quarter panel also. |

Russ Smith sent me this Awsome looking 57 Chevy |
|
|
|

The next few shots are also from Russ Smith who decided to put a Gremlin on the track. Nice work Russ! |

You sure do have a nice trailer and garage area Russ, I'm jealous! |

That is one nice set up Russ, Thanks for sharing it with us. |

"Clutch" Coomer did extensive rehabilatation on this 50 Chevy modified. Trust me, this is not a box stock build here! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clutch, you got some meat on there, I bet you couldn't roll it over with a forklift! A BIG FORKLIFT! Nice Work. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Here it is out in the parking lot. Thanks for sending these in Clutch. Excellent work. |

From Ed Krause comes the next few pics. This one is a version of the Grant King sprint car. I believe there wer 4 different kits. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the super modified kit. I have not built one of these yet but it looks like fun. Nice job Ed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Top view of the 2 car shows some serious injection going on. |

Another 2 car from Ed only this time a Sprint car |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You know, I'm going to have to ask Ed about these Sprints. I'm not sure if they're box stock or not. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I believe we got another Grant King. I have a box FULL of parts and still don't have enough to build ONE Grant King Sprint. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ed, I'm smart enough to know this ain't box stock. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is before my start of resin so it's either an old ERC body or Ed did the handy work himself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Looks like a Grant King nose for sure though. |
|
|
|

Whatever you did, It's my favorite of your cars so far. I'll be building one like this with my "Skeeter" body. |

Here's an excellent lesson on mud detailing from Dick "Weasel" Wessel. Try typing that three times fast. |
|

This car was posted on the forum but I wanted you all to have a better look at it. |
|

Even got mud up on the trunk panel. I know you know it's supposed to be there, But how many of us would have forgot? Come on now. |
|

|
Foam mud inserts on bead locks makes it look serious don't it? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can find out how Weasel did this by checking the How To's and Tips in the Short Track Modeling Forum. |

Russ Smith sent in this 35 Chevy Sedan with some of my R-001 Rims on it. Thanks for getting them and it looks great Russ! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Russ also tried his luck at making his own decals. He's got his two son's businesses as sponsors. He didn't say what type of printer he used. |

I like the double stacked air cleaner, looks real nice Russ, thanks for sharing it with us. |

These next 10 "Saturday Night Specials" are from John Burger, from New Braunfels, Texas |
|
|
|
|
|

|
Some of you guys are going to recognize these as AMT's old Modified Stocker series. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
John's 55 is really nice, I'll see if I can find out what chassis he used and pass it on to you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
65 Ford I believe on a Stocker chassis? John does some really nice clean builds. I know "Weasel" hates that word "clean" though. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you like this one, you'll need to keep your eyes open for the re-issue coming soon by Model King. |

Mopar anyone? I can see some extensive front end work and it looks GREAT! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is one of my favorites. I got to get John to join the Forum so we can "pick his brain" a little. |
|

I love this car. John this is one I'm copying and throwing some of my tires and rims on. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think this is a Galaxie body on the Stocker chassis. Is this thing cool or what? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

I really like the black and purple paint on this car. This is one wicked looking Mopar. Thanks for sharing these with us John! |

Another of Chris Smock's fabulous builds. He say's it's basicly box stock. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I believe this is a 32/33 Sedan body from another kit and the tires are out of a sprint car kit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I never get tired of looking at Chris's builds. Great Job as usual Chris, and Thanks! |

Mark Jeffries 65 Chevelle is race ready with a set of FRW rims and graphics by K-Dog Graphix. |

Mark always builds an excellent, realistic build, everytime. I love this K-Dog logo. Got to get one! |

Here's a 58 Chevy sent in by Bert Rivers. I'm a fanatic for Orange race cars and I love this one! |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Bert Rivers Buick Regal looks great with the Gold foil numbers and Miller sponsorship. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Not many people think to use the GTO as a short track car but Bert Rivers sure pulled it off with this one. |
