Interesting,are you building it as a drag slot car ??

That 55 in background looks nice.

A little speculation is harmless enough, but remember that forming an opinion based on incomplete information can result in a very misguided opinion!

cheers guys.

Jason said the tyres in the AMT kits are terrible so I grabbed a huge set of alloy's, they have foam tyres on them now but I have some rubber ones Jason is casting to fit later on. Plan is to paint, decal and clear coat it and then return to TPB to upgrade in gears etc and give it a test run on one of there many tracks.

The 55 is box stock I got to of the white wall decals on and then stuffed up the 3rd so I cracked the sad's n left it :) I need to finish it soon seeing as my red 32 is 99% done

nothing new, tried to rub the body back to get it smooth again. I've been abit heavy handed with the paint :(

Shame about the orange peel, neat colour though. All the rubbing back will pay off once you get it resprayed thumbsup

being a slot im tempted to just paint it anyway and after heaps of clear protective coats rub them back and then do 1 finial smooth clear coat.

If that'll work, Ideas????
