What's on the bench?
Made my first "modified" diecast car. It's not great, compared to the other cars I've seen, but at least it's able to roll and I would consider that as a triumph itself.
- That's a solid build! Good job. — JBlotner42
- A journey of a thousand miles starts with but a single step - That’s from a cornball Tarzan movie in 1962. Total cornball but its been a guidepost for my life. — AbbyNormal
Added top number and the flags on the back fin. Gold accent paint comes later today.
- Man, you always do such clean work. My cars look alright from a distance hahah! — Skid_Marks_Diecast_Racing
- What casting is this? — Long_Dog_Diecast_Racing
- @partsman73 it's the Circle Trucker casting. It looks a lot like the pro trucks which is why I picked it. — JBlotner42
- It does look really good! Great work! — Long_Dog_Diecast_Racing
What a challenge working with all metal base/interior/chassis. Getting things to fit after adjustment and finding what was hitting where. 421.9g total team weight for Axle Wars
- That is a team of heavyweights right there. Love it and good luck to you sir! My team will see your team in Bathurst!. — Long_Dog_Diecast_Racing
- That's heavier than my Maximas! — ManiacMotorsports
- nice — dr_dodge
Setting the weights for the Mazda RX-7 Challenge.
- Tungsten? Have you considered gold? It's pretty heavy and maybe a little cheaper. — Ruckus_Racing
- Fortunately had my tungsten before the gazillion price hike. — GBURacing
- However, now in Jawa mode and will re-harvest it for future builds. — GBURacing
- Wow that is neat and sweet. I wouldn’t want to show the chopped lead weights I use packed in and all gnarly looking. — AbbyNormal
- Thanks Abby!!! — GBURacing
A couple that I am working on. The green wagon is the only one that is finished. The vette will get a green pinstripe where the colors meet. The blue wagon is going to get some type of graphics painted on it. The pink wagon is back to the drawing board. Tape peeled the paint on the hood.
For some reason clear coat made the paint bubble and cracked in a few spots. Did the gold and wheel swap. Weights are next. Going to take it to 60g or 65g.
Made a second modifed car that's able to roll. I don't know if I should send it out as a entry for the Olympics Trials, yet. We shall see.
These are the 1st cars I'm sending anywhere in over a year, El Camino Creepo, W.A.R. Demo Derby and the Cabbage Patch Birthday race. My old team Foursix Diecast Racing ended in divorce a couple years ago. Haven't figured out a new team name yet but got the itch again a month or so ago!
CCM for the Olympic Trials, swapped out the silver heat exchangers for black and replaced the blue frost windshield for the smoke tint and hit the Wheel Farm for a nice set of 50th Anniversary wheels.
- And off in the distance I can here the Star Spangled Banner playing! Good looking ride sir! — Long_Dog_Diecast_Racing
- Thanks!!! — GBURacing
Decals added, needs gold accent paint and weights added.
