View AttachmentView AttachmentView Attachment Chris - Sounds good! Like that Corvette Grand Sport, I'll have to get couple for myself. As for builds, here's 3 of mine on narrow-spec TFXs - The GTO is a TJet shell, the Jag is an old Cigarbox relic, and the 'Vette is an Eldon... Unfortunately Parts Pig isnt around anymore, It doesnt have any markings inside as to the manufacturer. If you find them let me know I would like to get another to detail up as a Mecum car Dark blue with white stripes down the middle. Good detail thats for sure. Chris

Welcome Dave, Your name sounds familiar, I was a founding member of HOUROC ( H O Unlimited Racers of California) with Gary Beetle, Jim Cauthon, Dennis Hill and others we raced HO big time back in the 60's and 70's with members going on to create the BSRT line and we had a couple of National Champions as well. We had a couple of rules for the car, ( max. 3 in long, Max. 1 5/16 wide and must be theme cars like INDY 500, Lemans 24 etc, thats all and why it was called Unlimited) I still have a ton of T-Jet and Unlimited stuff, track and several Hundred Lexan bodies. Santa Ana Raceways was my Dad's slot car shop. He invented the Iso-Fulrum chassis used by everyone ever since and did Masters for Cox slot car bodies too. I have some interesting Brass Pan T-jets with Lexan bodies. Your cars are very cool I enjoyed Concourse class a lot, its probably what led me to Model Building. Welcome I look forward to seeing more.. Chris

Welcome I look forward to seeing more.. Chris Chris, I see in your post above that you might be able to hopefully help me find 2 Parma bodies I have been trying to find for quite a long time now. I am looking to complete my tribute to the 1972 Watkins Glen 6 hour race and still need the Mirage M6 and the Lola T280 that Parma made years ago. Any help locating these would be appreciated. Thank you, Frank

Thank you for pulling together the list Chris. I think the Winn bodies might work. They are the 15-01 Mirage Can Am, 17-01-036 Lola T290 Can Am they are marked as Can Am but they ran in the 6 hour race too. I would be interested in 20-01-087 Wolf Can Am as well.
If you are willing to sell me the 3 bodies I would be interested in buying them. Thank you again. Frank

Here is my build of the Pirelli Tower for my future track, I did it with Balsa wood strip and laminated styrene plastic over that. I think it came out pretty nice. The black areas on the side are for prints that look like its a Big Screen.. Hard to believe the plans were in that huge binder my Mom made way back in 1966 .. More buildings as I find them.. Chris
