Topic: Pre-Painted Lexan Bodies & Custom Painting Service (0 replies, posted in Cars)
I received this message via email:
Hello,
My name is Derrick Six and I custom paint mostly 1/24th scale slot car bodies to emulate the popular cars seen throughout the drag strips over the years.
I also have come up with my own custom designed cars that I sell on eBay under the name of 6pkk. I wanted to let you and your patrons know that I can do
custom work for them. If you'd like to see examples of my work, you can go to eBay and under my name, 6pkk, you can click on the little 'me' button and it will take you to my homepage.
Thank you very much for your time
Take care
Derrick

Re: Potential Classes for NASTE Racing (63 replies, posted in Cars)
Hmmmm, I didn't know they came in two different wheelbases. I would think the 4 1/2" would fit a wider variety of bodies? And then again, the wheelbases could probably be modified easy enough........

Re: Potential Classes for NASTE Racing (63 replies, posted in Cars)
At the PASER race on the BullRing Saturday, Bob Nakamura ran his Parma FCR car around. His FCR was stock other than being fitted with some lead weight up front and on the front sides. A NASCAR snap kit body was mounted on the chassis (the Revell snap kits came pre-painted as did the Revell Pro kits). Anyway his car ran GREAT! It was lapping only .2 to .4 seconds slower than the Econo cars! Something to consider............ -------------------Bill

Re: PASER Race at The BullRing in Fairview (2 replies, posted in PASER)
Nine Sportsman cars raced at TooBad Motorplex today. I met and raced with some new friends, as well as a few of the NASTE and PASER regulars. We ended up racing only the Sportsman class, with two rounds of 3 minute heats. Man, we tore some cars up! Guess they know why I call it the BullRing now!
Thanks to everybody that showed up! I had a great time! -----------------------------Bill

Re: Track apron (6 replies, posted in Track)
I've used a couple of methods to get my aprons level with the track. If the plywood or mdf is too thin you can shim it with pieces of cardboard installed underneath. You can also use a thin coat of plaster of paris on top of the plywood or mdf and sand it down to track level (plaster sands very easily). Coat the plaster with primer and paint. Both these methods have worked for me. ----------------------Bill

Re: Track apron (6 replies, posted in Track)
I have used plywood and mdf for aprons and borders. I just lay the track sections making up the particular curve on top of the wood, mark around the inside or outside edges with a pencil, and then cut it out using a jig saw.

Re: Custom cars (27 replies, posted in Cars)
I'm holding out for an injection molded body. I know there was an old MPC (I think) model kit. And I've seen a Strombecker slot car listed as a 1/24 scale Ford J a couple times on Ebay (not sure about that one. I've never actually seen one up close).
