I started this project a little while ago and have now got a running car, it's a long way from perfect but it is all vintage. The Palmer Plastics 1/32nd scale Cooper Ford kit includes all the parts to make a slot car including driver tray, wheel inserts and a reversable rear chassis mounting that will fit either Revell or Riko rear screw points. The front mounting point is another matter and doesn't match up completely with any chassis although it is only slightly out for a Riko chassis. The Riko chassis has to be set to the shortest wheel base possible and the front mounting screw is at a slight angle, didn't want to move the post in case I find a better fitting chassis at some point. The mounting points are designed to take the fairly standard brass inserts but as I don't have any of these I decided to try the cotton wool and super glue trick and it seems to have worked very well. The track is quite narrow and I struggled to find a pair of axles to suit. The body still needs painting and detail adding but at least it is a runner.

My Arii KPCG10 Skyline kit body has been sitting around for quite a while now since I found another use for the Pitlane chassis that was fitted to it. I was going to fit a 3D printed chassis but by pure chance the body mounting posts allowed me to fit the Cox vintage chassis I bought a while ago and the new rules for my clubs vintage saloon cars allows Japanese cars up to 1971 and I have need of a saloon car.

I came up with a cunning plan for doing a chassis for the Arii Subaru 360 but not sure it will work.
Details here.

Decided to start building the Revell Ford Fairlane Sunliner kit. This dates back to 1956 so the body is in 5 parts and you really need to build it up from the chassis which isn't really an option for a slot car body.

Finally got around to fitting the headlight lens on the 1/24th scale Monogram Porsche 904GTS.

The Jaguar 420 build is now in a running condition and has been track tested. It runs very nicely on my Policar layout and has also been tested on my club's wooden track where it, surprisingly, went very well, considering the narrow tyres, not the fastest of cars but quite smooth to drive.

I've started a new car build for use on my home track using the Airfix 1/32nd scale Jaguar 420 saloon kit. After some thought I have decided to try using a Pendle's Policar F1 chassis kit with 3D printed front end.

Having received three of these Monogram motors today.



I have now fitted one in the Ferrari 275P chassis and fitted some new tyres as those that came with the kit had very little grip.

Started to build up one of the Policar engines that arrived yesterday and then found out that the pack only has the engine block and you need the pack with the suspension parts and probably the rear wings so the conversion of the Lotus 49 to Policar is still on hold.
I dis manage to get the NSR Ford GT Mk Iv body painted red and ordered some decals for it. In the jat the red looked a bit on the bright side and now on the body it looks a little on the dull side so I just hope when finished with gloss clear coat it looks about right.

Painted the Matchbox Auto Union D-Type body today and the Resin Porsche 356 Outlaw body.
