I don't consider the Strombecker 1/32 cars to be great slot cars. But some of them do look pretty good. I think this really clean Ferrari looks pretty good!


This flagman figure was painted and detailed by Larry Anderson and sent to me from Canada.

Oh yeah.....Aurora Thunderjet 500 HO slot cars....My favorite! Two new in the box, Mustang 2+2 fastback Tuff Ones! One new in the box Ford J Flamethrower, has working headlights and taillights. And one new in the box Corvette Hardtop Vibrator. Vibrators were the precursor to the Thunderjets.

Aurora Flamethrower Cobra GT a.k.a. the Daytona Coupe. New in the box.

1/32 Monogram Ferrari F1. Complete, unpainted, and in very good condition!


The second shelf down in my display case is where the 1/24 cars start. Like the 1/32 cars, the 1/24 cars I collect are for the most part cars I just like, and my reasons vary widely! They don't have to be perfect, in fact I prefer cars that are not perfect! I love the ones that have been used and abused. I like the idea that I can pull any of my cars out of the case, throw on a fresh set of tires and run it without worrying about damaging it!
This is a DuBro bodied Scarab on a slightly modified Cox magnesium chassis. I like the paint.....


1/24 AMT hardbody Mustang coupe. Whoever built this one did a really nice job on the paint! I also like the way the body was lowered on the chassis.


This 1/24 Buick stock car is from the Norton Gaston collection. Model car body mounted on a modified production chassis, powered by a 36D motor. Norton and his father Jerry used this color scheme on many of the stock cars they built.


Yeah, it doesn't look much like it, but I am making progress! I'll be posting more photos in the next few days. I want to document as much of my collection as I can, someday it will all be gone from my world. Right now this display case contains 112 cars. Most are 1/24 cars.
I decided to make some improvements to the shelving design in my large display case. This process involved once again emptying the entire case. While I was at it I took the opportunity to photograph and document some more of the cars in my collection. The top shelf of my display case featured primarily smaller 1/32 cars. Here's some of what is on that top shelf.
A lot of the items I collect are things unique to our area and the type of cars we build and race. This machined motor mount/bracket is one of those items. These mounts were manufactured by In Slot Racing, a collaboration between Kirk Smith and Hugh Ellsworth. These were the very first of this type of mount to hit the market anywhere! This is one of the rare examples that included the engraved ISR identification!

I also collect some HO scale cars, mostly Aurora Thunderjet 500 cars. Here's a few that are still new in the original boxes.

A lot of the cars that end up in my collection, are there only because I happen to like them. This Scalextric F1 Lotus is an example of that.


I really like the 1/32 Monogram F1 cars. This Lotus is a pretty clean example. It is missing some of the rear end detail parts, and it was obviously run and loved!


Looks like it's been a couple years since I last posted a photo of my progress in getting the shop's upstairs organized. Well I'm still at it. It may not really look like it, but you'll have to take my word for it, I have made progress since that last photo I posted in May of 2021. Look, you can actually walk from one end of the room all the way to the other!........But seriously...I've decided to get back to some Ebay selling around September.......

Sounds good Chris! It's THE established routine and makes for good karma!
Where are you guys meeting for breakfast? And what time?
This chassis design would also be legal for Outlaw Sportsman with a wheel/tire change, as per the stated rules. This chassis was built by Larry Cockerham. This chassis also features narrower side pans with a wider center section. Notice the "rattle joints" use rectangular tubing instead of square to allow some forward/rearward movement of the center section or pans.
