Slot Car Corner '73 IROC Proxy - Builds & Usual Chatter

[studioRS]

David, new bumper buck looks great, you are a brave man!

I wish I could help out with vacuum forming, but alas can't. If there is someone who DOES and CAN do it, I'm sure I can send some more scale sailplane canopies their way.

I haven't ordered mine yet. End of Feb I usually wear llbean jeans, wool socks, mock turtleneck with polartec 300 fleece inside the office. Ask me again in about three months from now. By then I'll need to order a long sleeve due to the bugs! Snowing, 18 deg outside today, yummy. :roll: grrrr.

Gents, I've received news that there is a stop in the production of the T-Shirts, the art design contains content that is in conflict with one or more of their content guidelines and is not approved. I'd rather not push the limits on that at all, so unfortunately, these shirts won't be offered. Sorry guys, just don't need to stir up the bees nest on this. Not to worry, we have our color guide sheets for our own personal viewing enjoyment.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am going to have to withdraw from this proxy. Sorry about pulling out, but this should give someone else the opportunity to participate.

JB, I was totally enthusiastic about reading how your daughter jumped in and built the Mini Cooper. So, I asked my 17yr daughter this morning if she was interested in tackling an RSR build. She's currently taking three AP classes so not sure how much time she'll actually have to build it. But, her eyes lit up when I had the color/spec charts on the screen the other night and said, "oh kewl I want that one" #11 Karminrot… Possibly be a Dad/daughter coaching build? If not I know your daughter has the skills and even knows how to make a Mini Cooper rear wheel drive! :doh:

If Thompson's daughter don't take the spot. I guess I'll jump back in. Not big on sebring chassis's but have one here I can redo. Lets me know.

I'm discussing tonight with her and showing what she's getting herself into. Chassis assembly, tires / truing/gluing, painting prep/painting, Fuchs, decals/cutting, trimming, clear coating and then testing and tuning. I'll let all know. I'm hoping she's somewhat responsive, but Mom's won her over with taking her prom dress shopping… If she jumps on it, then she can sign her RSR build — Portia RS — for real :dance:

[studioRS]

That's neat!

Yeah we wanted to force people to pronounce the name properly. Honestly, I didn't think of what her initials were going to be "PRS" until later… :oops: Best part… wait for it guys…. She was born 9lbs 11oz. Yup, a 911 ! To say I was happy was an understatement, best day of my life. She just had her BDay a few days ago too.

Ok. What's with the two different colors on the charts you have. TS & X. Pick the shade you like or what. Looks like one is a spray can and other a bottle. I'm an old DuPont auto paint user. Never used this crap before. :lol:
