FUTURE SERIES...START WITH A _ _ _ _ _ ?

model40fan Wednesday, 4/2/2014

Plenty of racing going on now,
I got a positive comment from a guy on the very creative customs in the altered and gasser series pix...
so I gave some thought of what would be a good donar car for a future series;
#1. cost and availability,
#2. number of modds possible,
.
could use any one of the parts, grill n' mill, the body or the base...
.
the '34 ford coupe seems to fit better than other cars I thought of, like the ...'32 delivery, fat '40, '40 coupe, bone shaker, '32 Vicky, '32 3 window, '47 chebbie sedan,
potential series is wide open for any other donar clients... speak up ... what's your favorite ?

How would modding a fantasy car work? For example Diesel Boy or Hyper Truck or Power Pipes. Just an idea.....

Bought one of these to customize but now that I opened it, I am stuck on what to do with it. It's a new car. I had all kinds of ideas when I first saw it but maybe you guys can come up with something.

  • Use a gasser frame jack it up so those wheels are free. I almost bought one those today. — Stroller

The Screamliner might be a good candidate for the slowest car, but still crossed the finish line - is the winner.

The challenge would be to build a car that could cover the longest host race layout - in the slowest time, but not so fast that it out ran others on the shorter tracks.

A sort of reverse "bracket" racing series.

How about 30s 40s 50s pickup.  Or a car with a deliberate attempt to make it look like a junk heap but it is "sleeper" fast. Maybe you could get some points for worst looking car.

What about a series like this:

"Legends of Pro Stock"

1. Any Hot Wheels / Johnny Lightning / Racing Champions / Action etc. Pro Stock car, has to be an older body style ('70s - '90s)

2. No less than 57 grams, No more than 85 grams

3. Realistic wheels only (Johnny Lightning Cragar Mags, Weld Draglites, Stars, Dish, Hot Wheels 5 spokes, SK5 fronts etc.)

4. Car must have proper hood scoop and parachute pack (If it doesn't already have one straight out of the blister pack, you can make one yourself or use some off another car.)

5. Must have a large sponsor (Dosen't necessarily need to be one that has been used in real racing)

6. Must have atleast 35 contingency brand stickers.
