Dave's 37 Chevy Oval Racer

Post by DaveM »

Hi Guys,

This is a build I started about 4 years ago, it has sat for a long time.

I modified the 6 gear cases for the RCCA magazine out-drive mod, added ASC 6614 black idlers, and

finally found a aluminum top shaft bearing plug.

I also very recently went back to RC10 short front arms and black Andys rear arms.

I dyed the 6 gear cases and front arms black.

Here are some pics, top one is the latest.

Cheers, Dave.

Hi Don,

The shell is a RJ Speed # 1017 37 Sedan Body.

I've just woken up after reading the Tower Hobbies ad it says a "generic 37 sedan body"

I will have to edit my post I think I will make it a Chevy 37 sedan :lol:

Thanks Dave, I'll have to pick one up for a future runner project. As long as it's Chevy it's all good. :mrgreen:

Looks great. Any chance of getting a body off shot of the whole car? I'd love to see some full frontal. :mrgreen:

Hi Thumbs,

Top less shots as requested :!:

Top pic is the latest one.

As you can see she's still not finished.

I have a Trinity Slot Machine brushed motor, no speedy yet.

I will use a cut down battery cup mounted on the rear tower for the speedy.

Dave.

Hi Thumbs,

Thank you very much, I am very happy with the old girl.

Next step find a Vintage Speedy, I might actually finally get to drive her.

It has been a long journey but I wouldn't have it any other way :!:

Cheers, Dave.
