Harry, Enjoyed the video. Jorge you did a great job on these builds.

Great job Jorge!!! I have a soft spot fot GT40s and J cars…..(or any Ford for that matter). Working on some builds this weekend and exchanging my Scaley Cuda for the new Camaro

Harry I am on the "5 yard line" on diving in and trying a chassis build for some 1/32 odd shaped bodies I have. !

My whole tool box for my home has just 1 hammer and two types screwdrivers and a wrench, that is it!!

If someone just made a complete adjustable kit with "everything, nothing left out" including the motor and maybe 3 tires and wheels choices (offer a jig), I would be in!!

The real WOW would be a utube vid on building it (asking alot)

"If I can do it anyone can" testimonial would mean a lot with my zero skill!!

There are many scratch-building videos out there.

[Dundee Denny]

I will have to shake off my Fred Flintstone ways and figure out uTube and check it out!!!

You got the hammer
Dive in you’ll like it and those Pionner chassis’s will be a memory

[War Eagle River]

Great job Jorge! You have become a machine!

Those Scalextric guide bushings are available separately on the SI website.

Very enjoyable video. These chassis make it look so simple. What a great job. Thanks.

Great simple, working chassis. I need to copy those.

Good Friday this week. A guy that bought some Eldon 1/24 track from me at the slot show, came by on Tues nite to see us race. I set him up and he ran a little but it had been 15 years since he last raced and was rusty and in the way of the other guys. I told him to call me when he had time and I'd set him up to just run some laps by himself and get familiar again. He called yesterday and he spent about 2 hours running and asking questions. His lap times got fairly close to mine and it all came back pretty quick. He ended up buying two cars and I went thru his slot box and dug out a Parma FCR chassis that only needs a motor change and body to race with us. He is coming back Tues nite and is gung ho. It's always good to pull in an old slot racer back into the home aspect of slot racing..

We have good numbers right now, we have 5 racers every week and 3 off and on. On the 4 lane track, 5-8 is a good number. Nobody cares to race all nite and guys randomly offer their lane to anybody that wants to take their place.

I am very jealous! I have a hard time getting more than one more racer than myself. I keep trying to get others interested, but I just doesn't seem to be accomplishing much.

Great video Harry and awesome work Jorge on all those cars!

[MnFordGuy]

Went to a slot car show with Chappyman66 yesterday. The show has gotten smaller over the years with few bargains….but I did score a mint Strombecker Ford J for 15.00

[4424ever]

Nice find don’t recall seeing it in orange mine are all white or yellow

[MnFordGuy]

I’ve only seen white and yellow…bought a white one from Rusty a while back. Ya it’s an Eldon after looking into it some more.

[ourwayband]

That's a Great looking Eldon !Congrats on the great buy!

[slothead]

Yes, that certainly looks more toyish than the Strombecker J-car body I have. Plus, the version I have has a rounded front end without the vampire teeth.
