Vintage class: My car is built, truing up a set of tires now. 
Motor seems strong but body not mounted. 
Pics later... but weather is beautiful so t-shirt and slippers so I can wash the dust off my car.

For the vintage class.
Finally got the body mounted, but still tons to do.

 

 

The set screw collar is to limit the tongue drop.

[miko]

Great idea on the tongue drop limiter ! Looking good !

[Maximo]

Another beautiful chassis from Watson Racing Enterprises!

Very sexy, miko

How did you do that, That is cool. Love the rear arch overhang, the tail lights the paint and that chassis. Its all art in motion. Nice work.

[Maximo]

Nice paint scheme, especially the lettering SHINODA!

  Miko, what's the wheelbase for your chassis?  BTW, another fine creation that you have here and color choice!

What is the " rear arch overhang "

[Martin]

Maybe that's not the best description  I am talking about the bodies triangle (tooth) shape behind the rear wheel.

That's a common cut with Shinoda bodies

[Mark Johnson]

WOW

John, the wheelbase is 3.9" and thank you!

[Half Fast]

I never cared much for Thingies.

 

Strike that, you guys have changed my mind!

 

Beautiful craftsmanship all

 

Cheers

Well, this is as far as I have gotten.  Not finished yet, but paint is done.
Second paint job applied to this body since I DID NOT like the first one.  Even after washing it out with isopropyl alcohol I still see traces of the old paint.
Oh well, it will probably get trashed anyway. (interesting tip, if you are out of isopropyl.... Vodka works in a pinch!)

 

 

 

 

 

I have to look at the rules to be sure we can use a spoiler on the vintage cars.  If that is okay, I'll be cutting much of the rear panel away for attachment.

Still working on the motor.

[Maximo]

J.

Your usual brilliant craftsmanship!

I really like the paint work regardless of your efforts to erase the previous.

Things are shaping up nicely!
