Note the vacuum-formed intake stacks not originally on the MAC body . . . hint, hint, hint?

One of three possibilities:

1. Mad Photoshop skills - but that would be more like Larry than Jairus ;)
2. 1.5 sets of MAC Lola T160 stacks
3. Another Jairus vac-forming project to go along with the F-1 transmission?

Why of course!
We can't have mere bodies . . .
We need to showcase complete cars!

I have been planning for quite some time now and the results will be revealed soon . . .

It took me by surprised that these would be revealed here, but more to come soon . . .

My philosophy is that everything should work harmoniously, therefore these beautiful and artistic shells should be draped over equally-ingenious running gear. The right chassis mated to the correct power plant with cool wheels and tires as only a proper thingie should have to be properly dressed for the Revolution!

Great work! I am the now old East Coast body painter more known as "Noose". As a member of Team Nutley, we had to make sure we had even better-looking cars than those created by Dave Bloom (a fantastic artist, I must say). The infamous John Gorski told me about the site and it's great to see some of the old and new stuff on here. I'm digging through the old slot box that I still have from when I got back into it again in the late '70s when Bob Emmott had BIR Raceway open in Union, NJ, along with Tony P and Ernie Provetti (now both with Trinity). I'll see what I uncover to put some pics up here. I've been doing some static models and will show some, too.

P and I are just starting to build some cars and he and John Gorski have been testing cars that John has built at Trains and Lanes in PA. Maybe we can talk you into doing some bodies for us . . . I still have a Charlie Waters Trans-Am Mustang body (slightly squashed) that you painted . . . If I can find my camera, I'll post a picture . . .

Body is an Outisight piece but I don't know the name. (Ordered quite a few from Ron for the shape and not the name).

Outisight BRM. Low-drag body. They worked well on longer tracks on my RevTech 100 Iso back in '79-80. 8)

Outisight BRM.

Notta BRM. That's one of those Lucas chunks that Outisight sells. The O/S BRM is a Ferrari Coupe with the roof taken off. The Ferrari Coupe was made from an Associated Porsche SS.

Jairus, your claim of being an "artist" doesn't even begin to cover the territory, dood . . .

Lovely work, just lovely . . .
