me and dad has been working on this lil project for a few days. we race 1/24 scale diecast cars. its a 47 chevy coupe that we cut and hacked up. we used the chassie outta a 54 chevy that i hacked up a few years ago. its been weighted and has pinewood derby wheels. it still needs a few more things done before it is finished. sorry bout the crappy pics but the batteries died in the camera

Sweet looking Dirt racer! I've been wanting to build one like that!
If you want a good tip for some added realism, Pick up a little bag of small onions at your local grocery store. Its the bag your after. Should have the same look as a scaled down chain-link fence.... Kinda stretchy. It makes great window coverings and engine protector!
I'm intrigued by the 1/24 scale drag racing... Is it 1/24 slot car? Is this dirt bobber gonna be made to race?

it aint a slot car it is ran sorta like pinewood derby racing except the trak dosnt have grooves for the wheels so it has to roll strait or it will hit the wall LOL, it will be monday or tuesday. hopefully this one will roll good enough to race. its been heavly weighted will sinkers and pinewood derby weights
