Apparently some raceways around the country are trying a "Bomber" class with the same technical rules as the Stock Car class but with 1950's bodies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1955 Chevrolet and 1957 Plymouth available from Caveman Bodeez.

 

Please direct rules and technical questions to the AWRA website.

I have a Ford bomber mold I am working on too. So much to do, so little time.

Brian- we appreciate all of the work you put into your bodies and interiors. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I like the '55 Chevy.

We race them weekly at our track & once per month in a series race with another track.

Bill, The body is from S&E Raceway. I wish that it was a caveman body. These bodys break real easy. We now allow bodys from the 50s,60s, & 70s. I'm going to start running a caveman Camaro body.

I think S&E uses PETG plastic instead of lexan. That would be a reason why they break easily, especially if they're painted with lacquer. PETG is easier to mold, molds details better, but should be painted with acrylic paints. Thanks for your reply.

Is the Tamiya polycarbonate paint lacquer based ?

 

[Bill from NH]

I don't use Tamiya polycarbonate paints & I'm not well acquainted with them. Are you using spray cans or paint out of bottles? Do you clean-up with a solvent or do you use water? Looking online, I found Tamiya sells both acrylic & lacquer thinners. Then the online site indicated both thinners work well with Tamiya .acrylic paints. I didn't find anything indicating whether their polycarbonate spray cans are lacquer or something else. If it's lacquer, it should craze the hard plastic of a model kit. Hopefully, someone who has used it will chime in & post their experience using it.

Caveman sells a 3d 1/32 chassis that looks interesting

For the PETG bodies, try putting a little Shoe Goo at the break points. We used it on a 1/24 PETG LA Cucaracha years ago. Opponents had cracks and holes while our body was used for several races.
