These are great, I'd like to have shared that morning with you!
Are they your own bodies?

Great looking builds!!!!

[btaylor]

Eric, I build these from old friction cars I find on ebay, and the dollar stores. They make great slot cars, and are cheap. this is one that has just been stripped down.

Bob, thank you for that, I will look out for them.
It must be really satisfying to take something cheap and unloved and then turn them into this. Great ideas thank you Bob..

That is so cool, those skinny tyres must be great fun too.

I have a cheap die cast Ferrari F2 1952 Ascari car that I squeezed on to a slot chassis (which I can't remember the name now) We didn't screw the body on in our rush. For years this was the "go to" car for some random tail sliding action when I came home from work or Jacob from school, the thing is that the loose body seemed to enhance the animation of the car.
I'd post a photo, but don't want to hijack your thread I'l make it the subject of a new thread this weekend.

Thank you Bob
