I threw together a 'bracket filler' truck tonight...

I doubt if it will make the cut, but it will look cool trying :)

Experimenting with this one...so it might end up slow. But, I am working on some cool ideas...ways to dremel-sand your wheels (working the top and back surfaces to get a nice edge)...and then, running negative camber to get the wheels running on that edge. 

Cool stuff...and totally do-able with no 'fancy tools'. I'll keep working on the techniques and then, post a build thread. 

Gotta keep trying new things (and building slow cars!) :)

Well, this one seems fairly speedy, so, I just need to get going on the next one.

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else is building :)

It's tough to say 'no' to a neon green Chevy shortbed squarebody. I could run this one in the Flying Colors race, but, I think I'll try to get it ready for this one...no weight required. ..it weighs 57 grams as is :)

OK....now it's time to get back in the shop and hopefully build some speed!!!

Going to drill the 56 Ford and polish and set the axels...tweak it a bit. The Willy needs it axels polished and set as well...rolls pretty good as is with the Bully Goat FTE package just snapped back together...add some weight to both and send them out...first time just strictly MB for me going into a race.


  • Jeep is cool and different — Mopar_Mafia
  • I think it's got a chance to be pretty quick...fingers crossed — LeagueofSpeed

Got the 56 Ford torn down...tossed the interior as that space will be used for weight...get the axels polished, aligned and set...put her back together and off to the Graphite Bay it goes.

  • Nice — Mopar_Mafia
  • These MB trucks can be pretty speedy in stock form... let along the LOS treatment. — Traction-Event
  • It was decent out of the blister, but not up to the hype for this particular model...sled..no,but in need of modification — LeagueofSpeed
  • I do think I ID'ed it's problem out of the blister...fixable...time will tell the tale — LeagueofSpeed
  • With a full-sized F100 in pieces all over the place, you can understand why I like this :) — 72_Chevy_C10
