Couple cars going on...
Figured i would share some of the projects that i have been working on.. First i picked up two new era cars not to long ago. Here is the super modified. Ugly yes, but have never seen one before so it has that going for it. All i have done on this so far is tear it down and paint the frame. Going to redo all the sheet metal and clean it up..

Re: Couple cars going on...
The last car thats in the works at the moment is my Raco Indy car. I have wanted one of these for a very long time and finally scored this one about a month ago. A true diamond in the rough but is coming together very nicely. So far its torn down, cleaned up and now starting to reassemble. Finished the front end and the rear end is almost done. Just need to clean up a couple more things. Hoping to have the chassis back together this weekend maybe...

Thanks Dan. Would like to find some polished wheels for it. The ones that were on it were gold

Re: Couple cars going on...
Little progress. Still needs tires and a couple other things but chassis is pretty much done...
Re: Couple cars going on...
I was going to bid on that Indy on Ebay then it disappeared.... Are you the buyer form the first auction?

Re: Couple cars going on...
Glad to bring it back to its former glory. It was in pretty rough shape when i got it. I dont think it was used much considering the factory tires are still there and the grease in the rear still looks new. I have a ton of hours in it already to get it to where it is now!!! Well worth it
Re: Couple cars going on...
Do they make those tires anywhere anymore?

Re: Couple cars going on...
for the rears you cant buy the raco hosts anymore but you can recap them through brp and as for the fronts i dont believe they make goodyear tires anymore...
Re: Couple cars going on...
Looks much nicer now than before! Was the front wing included also I thought it was missing? I was mailing the guy also when it went back up, you beat me to the offer! LOL (I missed it the first time around) Glad to see it is coming back to life!

Re: Couple cars going on...
Indy is going good. Been on hold for a bit. Body will be painted hopefully in the next 3 weeks or so. Chassis is in the same condition as the pics i posted but I added fuel line. Lol. Ill post pics once painted for sure.
