Noose,
They look great, and can't wait till I see in person. As good as your pictures are your work is even more amazing in person.
Thanks again,
SJJ

SlideJob have you looked into something a Wheeeee bit bigger ....?
We all need Noose to see you know.

Very cool.
I never knew there was such a thing.
Do they fit a standard or a special chassis?

Too bad he didn't put a quarter next to them for size reference... amazing work for such tiny little bodies.

@Mike
They might fit correctly on T-Jets.

So they're probably a little bigger than 1/64th, sort of like the T-Jet Indy car?
I thought maybe they were for use with those skinny can motors like Al Thurman uses on his Landsharks.

These chassis were made to fit under the T-Jet Slimlines. The green F1 in picture is a Aurora Slimline, bodies Noose painted are vac-formed Slimlines and Matchbox F1s and Indys. Tyco and Aurora did not have the choices for smaller motors to build scale F1s and Indys, and keep motors under the bodies. But with todays little R/C motors they work.
Chaparr-Al is winning races with these little motors in his Landsharks.
Also there's a great guy, Greg, building complete cars; Google Formula K slot cars for sale.

These two are heading off to OZ.
This one is for the Preston Meyer frame for a full car as a prize at RetroPalooza 4.
And these are heading up to MA.

Thanks, Pablo. Sometimes I have to add the proverbial tape inside to make the bodies legal because one side is so thin. Don't want a customer having any issues.
