CARRERA SLOT CAR TRACK
The herd is still growing. Those five cars that I said were on their way did show up and I immediately set myself to the digital chip modding. Within a few hours I had them up and running on the new layout.
The sight of a few of these early cars on the track is nice but seeing something closer to s full field of them makes it seem much more realistic.
Most of my projects are never ending but I feel that I'm close to completion of this one. I did manage to buy four more cars that might be here by the end of the week. I doubt I'll be looking for any more (at least for awhile).
One of the four cars is the #99 Charlie Glotzbach Daytona.
The second one is this #7 Ramo Stott Superbird.
The third is the #22 Bobby Allison Daytona.
The fourth is another #55 Tiny Lund Daytona. I know that I've already got one but I got a good price on it and plan to do a re-paint on it.
My plan is to paint this last car in the theme of Sal Trovella's Daytona.
I think it's a really good looking car. Hopefully I'll be able to do it justice with my re-paint. Carrera had made a version of this car years ago but it doesn't seem to be available anywhere.
I found a source for reproduction decals so I think it should be a breeze to modify.
That website with the decals has a huge variety to choose from. For anyone looking for reproduction modeling decals, - you may want to check them out.
