I had to cut 5/16" out of the center of my ******** to get it to fit the track, but the body work is almost finished. I'll get some test track time this weekend. I just have to make sure it'll go through the transition properly. I may have to raise the front bumper a bit. My flame masks are due in this week so it's all looking good. I just need a good color combo.

I hope like hell that I win, lol, That Galaxie is really nice!

Well, I finished my Super Van today. I don't have very high hopes but I like to think it looks good at least

Very cool. There should be a redline derby logo on it!

And I see a bus in the background, lol.

I've had very mixed luck with the decals. Sometimes I screw it up with the application, sometimes it just doesn't print well. I wish there was a better way to make your own decals. I have some retail decals of manf logos and stuff that I made yet add, but may not have the time. Total investment was $2.04

Nice 3-tone paint job Brian! Very nice

Here is the one that the boys and I made up and will be shipping off on Monday. Its our first time in really doing this and I don't know what to expect--except it has run on a 48 foot track.

It is a Matchbox Ambulance with FTE wheels, the engine is a Lego's engine, and lots of space inside!

That is quite a beast of a vehicle Chad!

Here's how my very first custom turned out.

This Splittin' Image is his second attempt at a custom Hot Wheel. I think it's gonna be a bit faster than his first

Thanks Bryan. I'm with you on wanting to see our cars race in person. Especially after finally making a custom and knowing how much work everyone else has put into their customs, what a thrill it would be to see them race! Perhaps Jason or Brian could shoot some video for all of us who aren't going to be able to make it there?
