Flying Colors Holiday Race
The Quest for Holiday Speed has begun in earnest across the RLD workshops...good luck to All...and may all be of Good Cheer!!!
....Happy Holidays and Good Will to All....but I'm going to try and Blow Your Diecast Doors Off!!! :)
Got the Super Van torn down...donor rear wheels sanded and the chassis sanded smooth
The other Steam Roller went for more than I was willing to pay...and in retrospect, was probably to nice to drill and modify...but paid half the price for this one than the nicer one went for, and if it get's here fast enough and I have enough time to modify it, it will replace the 57 T-Bird as one of my 57g entries.
Team Green is ready...
- Sweet! — 72_Chevy_C10
- Gold Medal Speed package on the Z? — LeagueofSpeed
- You are correct... — Traction-Event
- Nicely done Brother!!! — LeagueofSpeed
Rebirth of the Super Van is imminent
- I'll get my cars sent off on the 15th or16th via priority mail — LeagueofSpeed
- Had to cut down the rear wheel wells in order to put it in the jig — LeagueofSpeed
- Letting it setup slow with JBWELD — LeagueofSpeed
First fitting of everything. Test runs are...okay. Not a lot of expectations with this one but maybe when my kid gives it a paint job it'll get faster :) I suck at axle/wheel replacements. I should probably stick with stock.
- Keep plugging...keep trying...heck, I've been at this still less than a year.. — LeagueofSpeed
- ..the Quest for Speed is Eternal — LeagueofSpeed
- dig it! — Traction-Event

Steam Roller weighs 53.9 stock...it's going to get an FTE package and try to add a little more weight.
It looks like the Low C-GT will be the donor car for the Steam Roller...I believe the front wheel wells will accept the bigger FTE wheel.
My cars should ship tomorrow... dreading a post office visit this time of year

I might need more Chrysler 300's, but I can get started now!
I'll be doing a build-up thread...probably on Roger Doger. I learned a couple little things with my truck builds for the Muscle Truck race that I'd like to pass along...hopefully, good info for ya!
I'll be off (I hope) the week between Christmas and New Years, so, I'm hoping to run a couple races that week with these Flying Colors cars and trucks!
