It occurred to me a few days ago that DC-65X (Rick Thigpen) was another member who deserved a subforum of his own, to place all of his terrific building threads in a single location. Rick was willing to go along with the idea and here you go.
Rick and I will be moving many of his beautifully-photographed build threads into this subforum over the next few weeks.
A new subforum for DC-65X

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap

Amen to that! Actually, a glossy hardcover book with Rick's builds would make the ultimate slot-fanatic's reference!

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice.
In practice there is.

Thanks guys 
.
I've moved over 30 threads here so far. I've got a lot of work to do on the older ones. All I had at the time was a scanner and a poor quality film camera. I'm going to take some proper pictures and update the threads before I move them here.
It looks like some of the links in the threads are going to go bad. If you find any please let me know so I can fix them...THANKS!

I'm racing the best here at BP but Father time is much better then all of us united.
Not a snob in this hobby, after all it will be gone, if we keep on going like we do, and I have nothing to prove so I keep on posting because I have nothing to gain.
It's our duty to remember the past so we can have a future.
