I have been discussing some ideas with Randy Brown @ American Custom Engineering. We have talked about a small run of highly detailed Sprint Cars with a limited number, around 10 with the project and production on QSL for our members to see and enjoy. This will be a QSL exclusive project. Some of the detail we have discussed are as follows;
True 1/4 scale
The 427 eight stack engine
An all newly molded dirt track tires in todays style
Butler style seat and harness
Scale steering gearbox
The engine and chassis matching serial numbers 1-10
I am excited about this project and look forward to getting it off the ground. Randy has a few additional ideas and once the project gets started, he will update the progress.

We are in the design/dimension stage of the sprint car chassis and we needed some good reference specifications so we decided to purchase a Maxim sprint chassis.. We are going for the most realistic sprint car model..

A.C.E. has invested in 3D printing and will be using this technology to produce our new tire molds. Here is an example of the printed tires and how real we can make them. They are from a 1:8th midget model we are in the process of producing but will show you the detail we can do to make the final sprint car tires.
