I think that is an excellent idea as the stock headlight buckets are pretty weak. I installed the stock ones and installed a piece of plastic after cutting out the headlights then glued in the lights. I believe your idea is better as I think the first hit may do some damage.

Hey racers,
Here is a suggestion that I tried and it worked well. I have an old hard body 962 and I cut the headlight buckets out and put them in the lexan 962. They fit perfect and they give protection for the lights. I just used filament reinforced tape to hold them in.

The track has been up and running since Nov. 2002. The Silky brothers did the routing and bolted it together and left it as you see it in the first two pictures with Kirk and I. The Silky brothers were doing some track work at Raceway U.S.A. for Howard and did this job while here, I think they were from Minnesota. John Gill and I spent about every other Sat. during the summer finishing it up. I wound up re-routing it as the guys did not rout it deep enough, but all I had to do was follow their lines.

Great stuff but when are the pictures from? How long has the track been up and running?

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!

The day started out with lunch at Spud Monkeys.
Glenn Heath
Gary Howard, or just Howie to most of us.

What do the countersunk screws secure?

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.

Nice looking cars Bill. Definitely in the true scale format.

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.
