RLD Workshop - What'cha Modding?
Toothpicks...still my favorite way to set end play
Got the Shoebox tore down and the FTE package is set to have the wheels sanded.
Got caught up on current race projects before a Saturday of graphite and speed testing to spend some time on some future projects...hopefully a dynamic duo sometime this year.
- Lakester will be modified as is and 71 Charger Torpedo will get a FTE package — LeagueofSpeed
- Measured the Charger for it's upgrade and sanding the Lakesters wheels before drilling the rivets — LeagueofSpeed
Getting the '15 Custom Mustang ready for Bootleg Run...34g Stock so going to add 10-11g and install it's FTE package.
- I think I have this in yellow paint scheme — Mopar_Mafia
- yup, great casting — Traction-Event
- Most likely going to move it up to 57g class after Bootleg Run — LeagueofSpeed
- Orange monster? — Mopar_Mafia
- It might make that team...that's going to be a December race — LeagueofSpeed
- If it's got some potential...bump it up for Open Modified at CC Rider's — LeagueofSpeed
It was bought loose off Ebay in the hopes that it still had a few checkered runs left in it...alas, the better days are behind one of the better downhill racers in HW history.

So, a great racing casting in the Front Runnin Fairmont will get an FTE package and about 7g of weight...and we shall see if a second racing life is born on the Modified Circuit.
- Looking forward to getting back into the workshop on Wednesday and putting a couple of builds together. — LeagueofSpeed
Bringing the '15 Custom Mustang from 42.5g to 56.5g post Bootleg Run. Had to tweak the axels a touch as well...some fine tuning.
Got the 71 Dodge Charger Torpedo torn down and the wheels sanded...now to polish the axels and get it up to the 57g class.

I've taken the leap into restoring a set of Sweet 16 Redlines. Here are the first 4 cars I'll be working on. It's kinda cool because I has a Custom Cougar and a Custom Mustang as a kid! I'll probably do a build thread for these cars...I'm looking forward to messing with them!
- Race restore or shelf restore — LeagueofSpeed
- Shelf restore...maybe do some matching haulers to put them on also :) — 72_Chevy_C10
The Redline Shop sells some Spectraflame type paint.

Speed testing Lord Vader before graphite and it's looking good so far.
