Bill is building a Corvette GT-1. This will be a very nice looking car when finished. I am helping finish the project as he fed me at his BB'Q, so it is a trade!
This is the Corvette body that will be used.
Bill cut a nice pair of pans that fit perfectly.

Even though the turnout for the Apr. 20th. '13 race was not enough to race, Bad Bob showed up with his True Scale NASCAR.
He had a TS Can-Am also but I missed getting a picture of it.

The flairs look great! I did this to my Camaro and the handling improved a ton. Thanks for the rules change....Beau

Now that the Late Model Trans-Am rules have changed regarding tracking both front ( 3.150" ) and rear ( 3.250 ) I added flairs
( a requirement if you extend the tracking ) to my Challenger. I used .025" plastic sheet available at the hobby shop. I ground out the wheel wells and glued the plastic in and then trimmed them to size, then painted to match the car. Almost a piece of cake!!

Some of the new cars that showed up at the Jan. 26th. 2013 race:

Gearloose's new True Scale NASCAR.

That Early Modified is killer and I predict it will be a winner, looking forward to it's being completed and racing against it. The chassis and bumpers and all the soldering is first class.
I have that kit and it makes me want to dig it out and start building it, but wait, I have to finish my other projects first. I always say: "it is better to have too many projects than not enough!!

Except for a few mechanicals, BLues Brothers Pontiac is ready to race. I won't know how it runs 'till race time, that I guess is how I do things. This is my first try with a True Scale NASCAR and am looking forward to it. I have another chassis that is completely hand built but is not done yet. The decals on this car was a bitch to say the least, they are just too big to deal with and would not lay flat in some areas.

A late model Comaro Trans-Am by Gearloose.

Marty, outstanding looking Mustang! The color, the wheels, and those flared wheel wells. Killer!! Can you tell us how you accomplished the flaring?....Beau

Here is my LMTA Mustang. I used Duplicolor Touch Up paint. This paint is nice looking, but is too brittle.

Almost complete 962 Porsche. Still need to add detail paint to the body, and finish the driver's tray, add headlights/tailights etc.
by beaufrazier » Sat Nov 03, 2012 6:28 pm
Beautiful looking car. I love the format of these cars. Very simple. Just find a decal set you like and your almost done.....

962 project. I mounted the body on a GT-1 chassis ( formally Monte's ). The front and back tracking was right on. Had to extend the wheelbase about 1/8th. of an inch. I was very careful to cut along the cut lines, I used a Dremel with a sanding drum for most of the close work. Had to turn down new front tires to 15/16th. to clear fenders. I turned down the rears to just over 1.0". however in the enduro I will start with bigger diameter tires if this is the car Beau and I race. I made new and wider pans. The old pans, front tires will be stored with the old GT-1 body. The body came with a full drivers tray and headlight buckets all in one form. I cut the headlight buckets away from the driver's tray. I will add a piece of plastic behind the headlights for strength as these pieces are very thin and weak. Then when it comes to night racing, I will tape the buckets/lights in place.
The driver's tray is really a nice one, three demensional, but there is room for it, it should really stand out after painting it up.

Howie, your Trans Am build can out killer! Can't wait for the first race...Beau

That 64 Galaxy is cool! Hopefully you will promote that body style at your new track. How's it coming anyway? Beau

The completed Challenger LM Trans-Am. Looking forward to the Mopar, Chevy, Ford pony cars to do battle once again!!

Some past true scale and a future one......The 64 galaxie is not mine, it is a vision for the future

While the wife did a doll convention in Puyallap I took a project or two to give me something to do while in the motel room for those four days.
I am currently building a NASCAR. It will be the Blues Brothers Pontiac.
A Scholler Striker chassis, ordered from Grid 1.
I didn't cut the body down to the legal limit, I left some so I wouldn't have to cut the wheelwells too far into the body. I don't think I will have to trim the front wheel wells much at all. The rear tires are trued down to 1.030".

Those are some great looking cars. I wonder how many laps that great big wing of Bob's will last...
