This scratch built modified body by Rickey McKenzie shows what you can do with sheet stock. |

This is some pretty fancy and impressive fabrication. Thanks Rickey. |

A real nice hauler and racer from Russ Smith. Really Nice! |
|
|
|

Russ told me he wasn't done with this setup yet, but I couldn't resist posting it anyhow. |

Here's another super mod by Norman Sterner. This has got to be my favorite of his so far. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

I love this whole tiger paint scheme. This is a totally fabricated super mod using very few kit parts!! |
|

John Gorday decided to get "BIG" with this 1/16th scale 55 Chevy. These kits are hard to come by. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Right down to the OK Used Cars artwork, John's done a great job at lettering this car. Nice John. |

Rick Tackman did some major slicing and dicing to combine a Monogram Midget with an Edmund's modified. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also used was an injection system from a 57 Ford kit. This is a real beauty Rick. I'd love to see more of these! |

Dick Wessel shows just what a sprint car looks like coming out on a clay track................ |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and leaving the track and returning to the pits. D.W. is a real advocate, and pro at slinging mud on a model. NICE! |
|

Need a lift home after a rough night at the track? Give Mark Jeffries a call. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

This is a combination of two different tow truck kits, Revell's Midnight Cowboy and a "Snap" Wrecker. |
|
|
|

|
Mark Jeffries box van and Nova sportsman are ready to get to the track. Mark built the box portion from scratch. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Nova has been massaged a little at the "A" pillars to give it this really fierce look. Great job Mark. |

Now here's a guy who's an inspiration for trying something different. Jarrod Thomas used a VW body on his mod chassis. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Jarrod, who's from New Zealand by the way, really comes up with the wildest ideas for his mods and sprints. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How'd you like to see a whole field of these running a feature on dirt? Thanks, Jarrod. |

Tony Yocum from Hammond, Indiana might just be a Coors Light man. Awesome paint scheme! |
|

I liked this shot of the "Stars and Bars" and felt I had to include it. |

This is one beautiful Chevy there Tony, You did a really great job on it. Thanks for sending it. |

Slim Louis, from Memphis is getting us back to the old roots of racing mods again with his #54 . |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Louis, this is a really nice clean fantastic build. You never let us down with your work. Thank You. |

Russ Smith's next couple builds were built for a challenge on the forum. This paint scheme is for RACING! |
|
|

What do you mean you didn't see the truck.You could see this truck through your eye lids, I love it Russ!! |
|

I have a real weak spot for 56 Fords and Russ did his usual great job with this as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hooked to the van and headed to the track, Russ has got one nice set up here. |
|

Martin Warner has done some very outstanding detail work to his 32 Ford "Vicky" jalopy. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A little bit of detail on a rim can do so much for it's appearance. Here's a nice closeup for reference. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I realize leather seats and seatbelts are a little harder to accomplish, but what a difference huh? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
What about this? Slim Louis sent in this team of 55 Chevies. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Little things like drilling holes where the chrome used to be is an excellent addition. |
|
|
|

Slim, always has some fantastic paint schemes and detail that you really have to admire. Thanks Slim |

I don't know much about super mods, but this one by Chris smock sure is a beauty. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
I'll bet these things could really scream around a track. Awesome work Chris, Thanks. |

Another beautiful build from Chris Smock. These wheels are my R-0027's. Thanks for using them Chris. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I love good interior shots like this don't you? |
|
|
|
|
|

I understand Chris used a resin Cab Over body on this awesome hauler. Not sure who made it though. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's another shot of it without the car on it. Chris does some great work doesn't he? |

Mark Jeffrie's version of the Red Farmer Fairlane. Mark used my new 62 Fairlane body for this build. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Great work here Mark, you beat me to this build, but I'm glad you did! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Verlin Eaker would sure be tickled that Mark chose to build this version of his ride. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
This is going to inspire a whole lot of us who like to build 70/80's short track builds. |

My buddy Danny Tarpley is a BIG Earnhardt fan and did this Falcon in honor of oen of Dale's little known first rides. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He used my body, rims, and tires for this build, and decals by Gene Shortt. Ceck out the detail of the rust dripping from the lock holes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Excellent detail work and weathering work Danny. |
