56 FORD Complete

Postby Ky.Slot Racer » Wed Jan 16, 2019 7:47 am

Building this for a new guy here in town, he likes magnets.

Image

Image

So I`m using a new Scalextric Nascar chassis so he has the opportunity to run without magnets some day... :pray:
Mounted using the same way we do the metal chassis.

Image


I built this similar car for the Showdown a few years ago, and he really liked it when he seen it on my custom builds wall.

Does that custom builds wall have that incredible Mustang from a few years back? The one with a motor inside the engine and a working differential made of brass turnings? Still the ultimate build in my book.

well, the guy backed out on the hot rod, so that means I get to build it how I want it. A bit of paint, a few parts detailed. Getting ready for some home made decals to fit the era next.
