Sportsman Charger
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2017 10:30 pm
After unsuccessfully trying to convince Harry that a right hand drive DB 5 should be considered for the sportsman class, I dug out a Carrera Charger I had purchased a few months ago. I took my DB5 frame and modified it to accept the new body, and then got busy getting it ready.
The body shell was soaked in alcohol over night and then stripped. Decals were made on my Laser jet printer
Running gear is not complete yet as I am changing out the crown. Just ordered a bunch of stuff from our friends at Slot Car corner.
Thought I would post some pictures before it goes under the dremel to open up the wheel wells and open the stance a bit. As much as I like this look, the wider stance will make it handle better and look more the part.
Also started work on my Next Modifed. I took last years chassis and stripped it down. It will be rebuilt using a Piranha in a more traditional form then last years car.
