Topic: Some short-track style builds I am doing.

I was contacted through HRW forum a little while back about building some Short-track style sportsman cars for a guys collection.

He had a decent selection of cool bodies, and ended up sending 6 of them that I am going to do. The first he wanted was a 67 Fairlane similar to the one I had built before.

Pretty simple chassis design to keep it lightweight, using .032 brass on the front and sides, a JK Can-am motor bracket, WRP guide tongue and a Samson classics guide tube.

Using the guide tongue and tube setup make the chassis very simple to put together, as those are usually the most time consuming parts of the build for me.

The guy will be doing his own paint and body work, but he wanted me to mockup an interior for him. So I built one from styrene sheet and recycled many of the parts from the stock Monogram interior.

I will post up the other cars, of which I am just doing chassis and body mounts. I should get around to them soon!

Very cool and as always a super clean build! Nice job Zack!

Wow that thing looks great.
The body and interior looks awesome as well!
Would love to see it once he gets it back and paints it.

Re: Some short-track style builds I am doing.

This is the last one I built that inspired this guy to have me do one for him. I have sold it and a guy in Texas now enjoys it regularly.

Super nice work as always

Race cars are neither beautiful nor ugly. They become beautiful when they win.
