Back in the mid 60's they used to race full-size monster stock-cars. Our club has a stock car class that is basically the same idea. Full size cars with a minumum weight of 100-grams with a slow motor (BWNC1). The race is both slow, and hilarious at the same time. I found a model of a static GTO that became a great candidate for my next car.

   
   

Too much red for me. Easy switch to Tamiya bright orange.

   
   
   
Test fitting the chassis to the body, and card interior. I also tested a set of 5-spoke inserts made on my friends 3D printer.

   
   
   
   

Decals, driver, full roll cage, and fire extinguisher added. A small piece of brass was also added to bring the car to the minumum weight of just over 100-grams. The brass plate alone weighs 27-grams. The inserts had to be changed to something that was more period correct. I don't think Chip Foose was making mag wheels back then.

The car is complete, and runs very well. Thank you very kindly for looking.

Love the low ride look and 1.32 scale. Takes me back I’ve been tracking down and building Monogram Tom Daniel model’s from the 60’s. Bought back some great memories.

Thank you very kindly, Jeremy and GT Sprite.

It came in 3rd in a field with 6-fellow racers last Saturday. I think it still has the potential for 1st place after some gear puttering. My friends at the club know they will see me in their rear view mirrors very shortly.
