Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport 1964 |
Never give up on your dreams!
Team: Mecom Racing Team (USA) - Nassau-Speedweek 1964 |
When I saw a Corvette Grand Sport 1964 ho slot car posted on FB I had to give it try and get in contact with Randy Matlock. I have admired his work for many years. His custom work was and still is very inspiring. Fortunately, Randy replied and had Corvette bodies available. I bought four and the cars arrived in no time from the US. Working with Randy’s castings was a real pleasure. I had been wanting to have a Grand Sport for many years. Now I was close to add some to my collection.
Slot Car Racing – Revive Great Moments in Motorsport |
I like to replicate real race cars into slot cars. Eventually ending up making three and a street version. 2 from the Sebring 12 hours 1964 and one from the Nassau-Speedweek 1964. All the necessary information on the sponsor had been gathered and custom decals made for all cars made. If you need good quality decals for fair price you should give Decal Print a shot. Gravity provided the Chevrolet Mecom Blue for the cars. All the bodies received the whole treatment. With accents were painted and the red outline decals added. All protected by 2K clear coat.
Dreams come true with Custom Build Slot Cars |
Chassis are Aurora G-Plus all refurbished and some with new RRR rims added. The performance is very much to my liking. The chassis are fast enough for my taste, as I enjoy seeing the cars lapping the track. The Corvettes are now a part of my growing collection of American race cars. The GT40s had always been amongst my favorites. But I have grown to like the Cobra Daytona and Shelby Cobras. Wait and see what will come next.
