4424ever, yes! I did find the Lola GT slot car at the Buttonville show!
And as you said, the attraction was just too great not to have it!
Garth, I'm so pleased that you liked the video!
Thanks so much for watching, posting and subscribing! I really appreciate it!

Good episode John, I have had my LolaGt since the mid 60's.....it has had a few rebuilds/refurbs, and chassis mods along the way.
The Monogram 1/32 kits of the mid 60's were a giant leap from the RTR/set cars of the time, and well sorted, they can hold their own today.
Cheers

Rusty, my pleasure!
Thanks so much for the wonderful compliments! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video!
Chris, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed this episode!
I didn't realize that the Lola GT build you did was from your ORIGINAL Lola GT!
As with all of your builds, it is kinetic art, but I have to ask about the crown gear, as your car has a Cox crown gear, which is the one to have, did the car begin its life with the Monogram crown gear?
My car still appears to have the as issued Monogram crown which had the habit of disintegrating should I consider replacing it?
Thanks
😀

If yours is in good shape, keep running it, as the cast Monogram Crowns were actually quite good.......if you do choose to replace it, I would consider replacing it with the highest tooth count Crown that will fit. The stock Monogram "Tiger" X 100 and the Revell 16D motors (yours is a Revell,...not original), were fairly gutless, and on a short /tight track like yours, they will benefit from a higher numeric gear ratio.
