Got some stuff done the last couple weeks.
Built this on an LVJframe withbrass belly pan to race with my "Tues Nite Crashers".

This is car I always wanted to do, but the painting kind of put me off. I bit the bullet and just started spraying silver and purple till I had the lighter color, than masked and painted the dark color. Made up decals as good as I could. Dynamic chassis and a body by slot buddy Steve K

Still pushing on the Shadow project. Paul printed this body for me and I been filling and sanding. I put some paint on it and can see that I need a bit more filler and sanding, but it is getting closer. I want it pretty slick as I am going to use it for a mold.

Love the hat, Matt! Pretty awesome in the roadster. I hope the Shadow works for you.... it's fun to have a race-able version.

Long time ago, 20 years or more I was lucky enough to find an original Tijuana Taxi. I sold it to the LA Slot Car Museum. Before I sent it, I molded the driver, and copied the door stickers. I made a mold of the body and sent it to Bruce Patterson. I only know of 5-6 original cars. All the pieces are available to make a repro.

The Shadow will be a neat one. I'm not sure what kind of chassis to use for real, but it will have tiny wheels and low profile.
