Bill's Junk (Page 1 of 9)

Everybody has lots of 1/24 Flexis......right?

My collection might be somewhat unusual as I have a lot of 1/24 scratchbuilt chassis which probably wouldn't be classified as pristine or high quality collectibles. But when I think about how much time someone put into building these chassis I just can't help feeling aneed to preserve them. I hope to reconstruct some of the chassis I have collected through the years. I wish I new the story behind each one! Who owned them and where they were raced. Now that would be cool!

Here's an old jaildoor chassis someone built back in the day. Not perfect, but not too bad!

Here's a few 1/32 chassis. Some old 60s RTR type manufactured, some old 60s race set chassis, some newer.

Here's a pile MEAT might appreciate! A few of my old KTM and Kemtron power chassis. Some really wierd stuff here!

Also in my collection are some old clear bodies that have been painted and detailed. Some are pretty well done. I like the use of the screen on this F1 body.

So there is a small sample of some of my 1/24 and old 1/32 stuff. I have LOTS more in HO as well as 1/24 and 1/32. Any interest in seeing more?

Rico, I considered that when I posted this! I should have known the thought would cross your mind too!

Monte, The current count stands at "unsure". The counting became somewhat confusing last night. But fear not, I think I have come up with an inventory plan this morning! It should make for some interesting pictures!

Oh no, he's going to post a picture of each one and we'll have to total the pictures! 

Those Monograms with the red motor look great.

So I got this bright idea I would start my inventory by getting all my 1/24 chassis together. Laying them on my track seemed like a good idea and a way to organize them. As it turned out it was a lot like organizing a tank full of guppies by color. SH*T I have a lot of chassis!!! Actual count was 126 in 1/24th, and 25 in 1/32nd not including any of my current (within the last 5 years) projects under construction. Unfortunately for me that's not ALL of them. I got tired of unboxing them. But let's say I have the potential to complete another 200 or so 1/24 slot cars. That's close enough for me. From here my plan is to just get a count of the complete slot cars I have in 1/24, 1/32, and HO. After that I may have a stroke!

What you see there are OTHER PEOPLE'S unfinished projects I haven't gotten around to finishing or restoring!!!

I have figured out where old slot cars go to die..............MY place!

Tracy recently said to me: "I buy all the stuff no one else wants".............I think the same may apply to me!

36D motors you ask?...........................I have NEW ones yet to be run!!!

Are you just hoarding these things or are any of them for sale?

I was referring more about the chassis than the 36D motors.

All from the same box of 1/24 Monogram track and stuff.......

Long live the king!!

I could take it no more last night.  The brake rheostat for my controller was waiting for me when I got home and I brought it down to the shop and tripped on something (air mattress). At that point I decided that something had to be done.  I finally stopped at 10 pm and I'm still not completely done cleaning, chucking and rearranging.  I have filled a 55 gallon garbage sack and have a 12" high stack of flattened cardboard boxes along with a large pile for Salvation Army.  On the plus side, I found the missing wheel/tire for Ninco Megane and the exhaust pipes for the Lotus 49 that have been missing since the last time I decided to burn up my controller by hooking it up backwards.
