Re: Beat, but not BEATEN!!!

LOL lightly sanded! Yeah right. Those are 1 or 1.8 gram wheels, trust me they were not made by the scout! (unless his dad is Warpspeed) I suggest an eye chart be set up near inspection table. All in good fun of course. Or a member of another well known racing league out West. Depending on how the r...

Re: Our 2007 Derby Cars (In Progress)

Don't worry about the Waffles.......this is a custom car painter's technique for making paint look like carbon fiber. :shock: :lol: :shock: For the technique.....

Re: Testor's Spray Paint & Plastic Model NASCAR Decals!!

hey here is a trick I learned from a model car builder. If you want to paint a raised area of the wheels try using a silver Prismacolor pencil. This will also work for the spokes. :D

All the cars looks fatastic! Being a patient painter is not an easy accomplishment and it looks like your son did rather well with what HE wanted to accomplish. I like the fact that it has his "fingerprints" all over the car to show that he did it. And the Flames that he was representing t...

Re: Our 2007 Cars. On to District!

3/8" clearance rule at WIRL is Critical! Last year they would not allow another racer to race eventhough you could get one of their rear wheels to roll by sliding a piece of paper between the the rear wheel and the go-nogo guage.

A 1/2"x1" piece of 1/64" thick Aircraft Birch Plywood would get you that "Bare wood" place for the WIRL stamp. Just wood glue it in place and send it off.
