Howie went through all the steps for assembling a Scholer chassis.
The complete step by step assembly process is pictured on this site in the Rapid Raceway Forum under Current Projects.

After lunch we went over to Howie's Rapid Raceway. Howie had tools and equipment set up and ready to use for anyone that wanted to build chassis.
Here is a sample of some inspiration Howie had on display.
OK, maybe that's not a good sample. It was a little large for the track!

I just completed a Ferrari 512 (Heller 1/24th). The body was an old Gran Sport car and I built a custom chassis for it. Below are a few images.
Chassis before the body was repainted.

Carrera makes some nice looking slot cars in 1/24. The chassis are nothing to get excited about, just typical plastic home track type designs. With the traction magnets in place on a plastic sectional home track they run OK. Without the traction magnets they work best on low power. They are not fast, but they can be fun. The bodies work well on scratchbuilt chassis as they are quite durable. Here's a couple '62 Corvettes I worked over a little.

Yes Howie, my Camaro is also a Revell snap kit. Another nice thing about it is the body is all one piece, including the hood! Fewer parts to throw off when i crash the thing!!! I got mine off Ebay for $13 shipped.

I bought a snap together kit at Fred Meyer of a 2015 Mustang GT by Revell. It has a nice body and good details.It is by far cheaper and less waste when you consider that a person throws away almost everything in a detailed kit except the body and glass. Compare the $13.00 cost to the $20.00 plus for a detailed kit and I don't think the bodies are any different. Bill is working on a Camarro snap kit from Revell also.

Aston Martin Vantage GT3. I used a Scholer chassis from a former GT-1. The rear wheels will have to be moved in a little. I used small nails to hold the body on.
