Calling all members to help build a photo catalogue of all different the competing anglwinders chassis of '60s and '70s.

 

I hope we can establish something of this nature, and something usable to build replicas for fun or to race.

Manufactured chassis or scratchbuilt or both?

[SlotStox#53]

Haven't we already got all the pics? Granted they're not all in one place/thread with year,spec etc..

But, between looking through areas by Jairus, Rick aka DC65X, Pablo and others all have built pretty much "most" of the anglewinder designs

For starters, inliners, too: http://scratchbuilt.com/index.shtml

the anglewinders with bat pans and plumbers,i still hope to create recreation races.

 

in the slotcar  newspapers you would see 50 cars both photos of top and bottom and you could see each drivers car and all the cool variations,the challenge is to get these photos with good enough resolution to blueprint to build.and with the spec sheets you could recreate rick shigs car or limpach,etc.etc.and live vicariously through your recreation or the builders out there can buid for you,like in those good old days,before i hit 120 years old.

so probably whoever has these newspaper race reports can assist.

i guess also if everybody was willing to potograph there car collections,we would come up with quite a few of what im looking for,ive got around 30replica and original chassis and some cars.

[brucefl]

problem with looking up all the resourses here is they are not in one place and so hard to locate,maybe soeone can make looking up all the chassis on slotblog easily.

Read post #4.

I'm looking at more specifically for example if there was big race where there was a race report showing the cars the we're raced both top and bottom photos as I've seen then there's a chance to recreated those cars and potentially that race in as far as the cars and the components that were used,and possibly recreating what it was like to race as Tim Mcanimch, (just kidding that was one of my bosses as a young adult,lol)Mike steube.

Bruce,

 

What year, month, and specific race would the cars in question have appeared on the podium?  We can then look through our piles of old magazines for possible examples. 

 

There are strong rumors of a book on this subject being released in the near future. Stand by for more info. 

[brucefl]

there was a recent blog i believe that showed a major race around 1970 i believe in one of the racing newspapers with 50 to 100 cars showing the bottoms of the chassis,cant recollect anymore.

 

thanks for giving me hope,if that book comes available that will be great.
