Re: TIMS MODEL RACECARS
Hey Tim, those are really neat. Is that first one a life size model, or is it the way the picture was taken?It looks like a real midget with a model driver!!

Re: TIMS MODEL RACECARS
Yeah, neat stuff Tim. The pic of the Midget looks like it's just sitting there in the driveway of someone's house. Upon enlarging it, it's only then that I realize it's sitting on a table! I loved building model cars, I probably have about 75 Figure Eighters that I built long ago down in storage somewhere. Thanks for sharing.

Re: TIMS MODEL RACECARS
Cool models Tim, I dig the white #3 late model. Great work, I haven't built models in a long time. Used to enjoy doing it. Just don't have the maual dexterity any more. If you have more have I hope you'll share them.

Re: TIMS MODEL RACECARS
Thanks for the comments guys , The midget in the 1st pick is a 1/18 scale that I picked up at a swap meet a couple years ago.It was a GMP kit that they dont make anymore. The roll bars are hand made from coat hanger wire. The second car is a 64 ford Galaxy.The roll bars are from a early NASCAR kit, but if you look at the wheels they are spun aluminum turned on my lathe. YesI have a small machine shop in my basement.
