Ron Royston from Royston, Georgia sends this super nice "Rude Stude" Studebaker in to us. |
|
|

I believe this body is the only thing on this car that came in the box, and even it has been reworked. Awesome! |

Here's one from my first customer Gary Sutherlin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I believe Gary used one of my one piece Mustang bodies and some of my rims. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I really like the way this car sits and I like the color scheme as well. Excellent job Gary, hope to see more soon! |

Mark Jeffries' been busy working on one of my Camaro noses by adding his own personal touch. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mark's got this thing looking like it just came off of it's first couple of hot laps. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure but I think Mark used my rims, nose, carb, fuel cell, valve covers and, posibbly a seat. Beautiful Mark! |

Here's Tony Dye's tribute car to his Dad. He gave it to him Christmas of 05. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tony and his brother helped his dad with this car when they was still youngsters. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I did the art work for Tony's decals and we sent them off to a friend to be tweaked and printed. Thanks friend! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This was an excellent gift and I know Tony's Dad is real proud of it. Really great job Tony! |

Here's my 32 Ford 5 window. I added my rims and did my own decal artwork and had them printed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This engine is out of the stock 36 Ford kit with some parts box pieces added. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This model is the proposed artwork for an up coming re-issue by a team effort of AMT/ Dirtrack Racecars Inc. |
|
|
|

The rear tires are from Replicas and Minatures Company of Maryland. Excellent resin tires! |

A couple of excellent Sprints sent to us by Drew Hierwarter. You guys should all recognize that name. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Drew's one of the editors at Scale Auto Magazine, and he's one of the masters in "short track" modeling. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Another of Drew's works of art for us to enjoy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I believe this to be a Grant King Sprint, with Drew's attention to fine detail. |

Ricky Moore just sent me his 62 Chevy. Is this thing sweet or what? Real Nice Ricky! |

The beginning of a series of sprints by Jeff Wieder AKA "Sprint Fan" on my Forum Board. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Grant King is "Basically" box stock. Tires are from various kits while the rims are from an old Indy kit. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jeff used Fred Cady decals, MCW Competition Orange paint, and hand lettered the tires. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Model Master Aluminum buffing metalizer was used on the wings for that "real" aluminum look. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Kinser ride has Pactra flouresent green paint and an updated chassis. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scratchbuilt items include oil tank, filter, ehaust ends, foot shields, front wing sides, nerf bars, and seat. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I love this sprint. I guess I like them without the wing on sometimes. |
|
|
|
|
|

Jeff says it's pretty much box stock but it took 2nd place at a local contest 1 day after he finished it! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jeff says this is box stock "nothing special" but it sure looks good to me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It takes a little talent to take a box stock and make it look this nice! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jeff added Slixx decals to this Gold Eagle sprint and fully plumbed and wired the motor. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Scratch built items include the same as on the Kinser ride and seat belts were added also. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think this is actually my favorite car Jeff, I'm not sure what it is about it, but this thing just looks wicked! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jeff says he used wire insulation from Romex 12/2 household wiring for the rollbar padding. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Well, that does it for Jeff's stuff for a while. I'm sure I'll get more. Excellent Job Jeff, and Thanks! |

Ben Williams sent me SEVERAL pics that I'm going to add a few at a time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These pics are great for just viewing or as a learning tool. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Look close for details on wiring, linkage hoses and so on. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you can see, Ben does a lot of fabrication work, just like the real deal. |
