Ready-to-Run (RTR) Cars...some with a few mods ;)

Ninco Classics

Picture
All Ninco Classics (Ok, 1 Rev/Mono GS Corvette). All are either NC-1 Powered or are using the M/T-1 motor that is an exact match for the NC-1. A few of my repaints are in this lot as well.
Picture
These both had the cockpit covers that I've removed. I re-used the cockpit-style bubble windows as they often did back then. I simply cut new holes for the glass and filled the original ones.
Picture
I used Slot.it axles and gears, Slot Car Corner 15x7" wheels and inserts and Ninco tires. The motors have since been replaced with M/T-1 14k units. Excellent handling and running cars!
Picture
I've "tweaked a few Ninco Corvettes. The idea was for them to look like SCCA racers of the 1950's-60's.
Picture
A shot of the Corvettes blasting down the back stretch of the PDR.
Picture
Ninco 356 that I applied decals and cleared. I also tossed the convertible roof and the hubcaps. NC-1 powered.
Picture
Painted with Duplicolor Automotive paints, and is a real 1957 Corvette color. Done up as a weekend warrior a Doctor might have driven in SCCA events.
Picture
I removed the center part of the grille and bumperettes as many racers in the day did to save weight.
Picture
My good friend Lee made me this 356 - it now sports flared wheel wells, Fuchs wheels, and his signature Gulf paint job!
Picture
Rear rollbar is simply bent brass rod.
Picture
This Corvette looks mean!
Picture
Cobra I added decals and clear to. I also replaced the original NC-2 with an M/T-1 motor.

Scalextric and Spirit Trans-Am U2 Cars

Picture
My Trans-Am U2 Liter Cars: Spirit 2002, Scalextric Escorts, my resin Datsun 510s, Revell/Monogram Lotus, MRRC Porsche 911

Picture
Scalextric Escort stripped with 91% rubbing alcohol and repainted with Duplicolor Deep Cranberry Metallic over Duplicolor primer and and then clear-coated with Duplicolor clear. Decals are a mixture of left-overs in my box.
Picture
Line up of the three latest repaints
Picture
Scalextric Escort stripped with 91% rubbing alcohol and repainted with Testors Go Mango lacquer over Duplicolor primer and and then clear-coated with Duplicolor clear. I used Tamiya tape to two tone the car. Decals are a mixture of left-overs in my box.
Picture
Escort and Spirit chassis prepped: Weight added, wires trimmed, electronics removed, tires and wheels trued.
Picture
These things go really well with Paul Gage's Urethane tires. Excellent grip and alot of fun to drive!
Picture
Spirit BMW stripped with 91% rubbing alcohol and repainted with Duplicolor primer and then clear-coated as I wanted a base gray color. Decals are a mixture of left-overs in my box.

Various makes and models

Picture
My good friend, Lee, sent me this fantastic MRRC Cheetah! I couldn't leave well enough alone though and added Paul Gage's Urethane tires, an M/T-SL1 motor, and some decals.
Picture
A few of my SCX Cuda Repaints
Picture
Fits right in with the vintage sports cars!
Picture
Yep, this was the "Limited Edition" one...don't care - had to decal it!
Picture
Scalextric Ferraris
Picture
This started off as the yellow one that ran at LeMans...I couldn't stand the paint scheme, so I simply redid it.
Picture
Scalextric GT40's
Picture
One of the famous HRW Slot Burger cars! I have 2 - I HRW's Mr. Wise tuned for me and one MIB that has the case signed.
