... our fellow Slotblogger “Jaz” (Jeff) PM’d me about a couple of vintage chassis he had. He wanted to know if our SHPBAPSCR Museum would be interested in them. I thanked Jeff and told him they would run again 
!Jeff was a New York area racer and said.
"I raced against Joel and the Camen team for years and all the Nutley guys. I mainly raced at Buzzy's in Brooklyn and Glen Oaks on L.I."
One of the chassis he sent me was his:
"Beloved '84 Ray Kallio all steel, used by Dick DePaso to win the G27 Worlds at Elmsford. It had won me MANY races and $$$. The Kallio was the envy of many racers because Ray Kallio only made six or seven chassis total and they worked like no others on the Elmsford Nuvolari. Each one hand cut from a sheet of steel."
Here is the letter Jeff sent with the chassis:
Here is the chassis as I received it:
My buddy Rodney was kind enough to take on the restoration. It is important to remember, as Rodney states below, that this is a “first crack” at the restoration. We welcome any constructive comments (or components!) that would lead to a more accurate restoration:
"Rick, First crack at restoring the Kallio.
As we discussed, Eric advised me on what should go into the car. Jeff said he ran a Pro Slot Hex motor in the car first. Eric said the Pro Slot Hex motor is similar to the Koford Feather 2 that I installed in the car. The armature in the Koford motor is a Group 27 armature. The Pro Slot Hex motor and the Koford Feather 2 motor are box or cube type motors and are almost square in size.
I tried to dig up all period pieces for the car.
I will send scans of the letters separately.
Thanks, Rodney"
Here she is:
We'll have a track report when she's tested at Eddie's, Jeff, and thanks Rodney and Eric!
Again, we'd love to hear any info that would help in getting this car as "Korrect" as we can
