hey that looks great :music-rockout:

[ecr]

thanks
I waited quite a while to get my hands on this beauty.
I plan to make it different from the rest .
Full interior with people and family pets( I'v been saving them!)
I plan to make this one a purrdy hot rod :dance:

That is looking great! The stance is PERFECT!

I'm thinking 2 tone of some kind.
Glad you like it.
It may seem like a crazy idea but I'v been thinking of chopping the top.
A wedge chop of some kind.What type of resin was used,so i can bond it back
together if I do cut it. I do like to be different don't I.
And also get into bigger projects than is expected.

Got the H&R 26 k Cobra motor in and running.
The car is just nuts on 15vdc running on plastic .
So I waited and ran it on a buddys 4 lane wood oval on about 10vdc,
I was trying to evaluate the car and decide what move to make next.
A set of Paul Gage tires were coming for the build.
The tires made the car settle down A LOT ,so I increased the mag size.
Real fast down the straight,just trying to tune it for the cornering.
Right now it's time to do some running and see what I should do next.
I like to do this, all BEFORE final paint,
seems the the slamming into corner does not HURT sooo much.

Not at all Dave. Everybody does it different.
I gotta let up on the throttle a bit.
I like fast,driveable, and a street version slot car
I plan to make this sedan a product you can be proud to be the molder of.
Just test painted,orange,purple,bright yellow, all water base,WHO KNOWS !!

I'm trying to add new pics,but my rechargeable batteries have had it.
The dollar store AA's won't even let me get ONE picture !!
The kids have some for me at special request for xmas,just gotta wait !!
I will add some updates after the 25th.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy christmas !! :occasion-santa: :occasion-xmas:

I got enough battery by mixing them up!
I had intended to paint the car 2 tone blue BUT,I just couldn't get yellow out of my
head, SO here it is !!

I will run this for a while,to see if I can live with it ! I have got to see it go by me a few
times before I am happy with it.
I will add windows and interior if the color is a keeper :auto-swerve:

[ecr]

Thanks Dave
Do you think the color suites the car ??
Sure wish I could get my pictures better,there always blurry somewhere.
I was trying to get the wheels to come out clearer but ran out of battery.
I may have to invest in a newer,better camera someday.
I only got 4 megapixals which is very low by today standards.
Never could do closeups,and I never use the zoom as it's only digital. :angry-tappingfoot:

Thanks for that 1:1 pic,makes me feel I'm not way off on the color choice. :dance:
