Your build just keep amazing me to no end and then I find that you did your own arm rewound.

Dude I thought that it was cool that you did your own lettering on your mods but finding out you do your own rewound arms Double WOW.

Really nice mods - bring back a lot of memories. I used to build HO mods too back in the day and race with the kids. You'll get a kick out of some of the ones I made: 10 - Eurich, 73 - Osmun, 00 - Buzzie, 36jr - Goranson Jr., 20 - Hearn, etc.

Back then I made the bodies out of thin balsa wood and even cut out the windows. Now I build the same style cars in 1:32 scale with paper bodies. By paper I mean thin cardboard such as what kids school folders are made of with some sort of shiny finish on one side. I print my own decals on address lables and cut them out. Now I have about 70 modifieds all the way from 4jr - Rags Carter to 1 - Stewart Freisen.

My newest method is to print my bodies on thick photo paper, then cut the pieces out using a template and glue together. They are very realistic and have run many laps without damage. The only time I change bodies is when a driver has a new body style I like better, such as an updated #4 for Tim McCreadie to show the new paint scheme and #20 for Hearn now that he's back to using his old number. (Perhaps it shows I used to be at OCFS and the PA tracks weekly, but now I drive from Maine down to Albany - Saratoga Speedway whenever I can.)

Thanks Slothead. Years back, I built a couple 1/32 bodies for a friend who had run H.0.'s with us. If memory serves me, I believe they were one of Richie Tobias's Syracuse cars. My bud, has since come back to H.O.'s, I'll have to ask him what ever happened to those bodies?

We try to get up to Abany/Saratoga each year, usually hooking a trip to Lebanon Valley to the weekend. Know we are heading up to the Mr. Dirt show, but not sure when else yet?
