It’s a Yunick Impala. I’ll share some info if you’d like to.

Did it. When I get home I’ll post a pic since it isn’t on my phone. Did the #13 Yunick car.

A few more of my resins:

Always happy to feed the beast ;)

I don’t sipe tires, but do have a tire sanding station to smooth them out.

It is a Corvair! I used to master and cast my own bodies. Shut the business down when I became sensitive to the raw resin. Here’s a few:

Glad I hit the nostalgia bone for some of you! I’ve had a few tracks since 2002 - mostly as we moved around Colorado before moving to Florida. Here are a few more pics of those for you: And if you want to see the size difference between HO and 1:32 - here you go:

Always good to meet another slotter! The track is 20’ long and 7’ at the widest. I’m happy to show any pics and techniques, so ask away!

I knew I was forgetting something!

So simple to use, a caveman like me could do it. I selected this one due to the ease of cleaning and the fact that it has an easy to unclog spray tip. No hiccups at any time and the unit was a joy to use. Shot the eves and the body of the 30x40 garage in less than 8 hours including cleanup...

The BIG update though was to the outside of the garage and improving property values lol. The PO had never power washed it, he’d “touched up” with multiple colors, and the thing looked terrible overall. After a serious power washing a few weeks ago, the fetching Mrs. R and I spent the past...

Whew! Is it really March? I’ve done some new scenery (minor stuff), hooked up my pit LED lights as well as one of my LED billboards, painted the fascia, updated my timing system, and run about a million laps! I picked up some cool 60’-style chairs: …and a new cabinet to store the car...

I’m sticking a fork in this and calling it done. I managed to get my decal on slightly crooked somehow amd my OCD said it was time for an adult beverage. The power supply and trying station have not been run in almost 2 years, and they started right up. Let the rubber fly!

LOVE the Z pictures! Funding a garage with slot cars...well, I can't say I've not done something similar. Ever hang out on Slotforum? Lots of UK folks on there.

First rule of garage slot car talk: Pictures! Seriously, would love to see your layout!

THAT is a good teacher! Love to hear stories like that!

I’ll need to read the chapter Bylaws to make sure I don’t screw something up as a newbie…

Thanks for sharing that as well as the nice compliment. I love hearing others’ stories of their slot car experiences. When I did the Datsun 510’s, I’d contacted BRE and actually communicated with Pete Brock. I told him the reason I stayed out of trouble as a kid was due to the billion or so...

Thanks! I do have a garage-related update: my wife is an in-home healthcare provider. The couple she helps (Ret. USAF) were going to get rid (throw) of this 1950's Craftsman rolling tool chest. It was her father's and has been heavily used and somewhere along the way it had several layers of...

A few questions about the resins I used to make...here's a few pics on some of my prior tracks:
