I'll wait 3-days before buffing the paint. It should hopefully look a bit better.

I don't consider that light blue. But that's what came out of the can.

My very first HO set was an AFX Ghost Racer (1990?). It didn't take too long before these were showing up at flea markets. I ended up buying 2-more sets.

Now I had 6-Corvettes. 3-red ones that looked okay, and 3-ugly black ones with spiders and skull tampos all over them. I remember thinking "Hopefully I'll be able to repaint those if I ever learn how to paint".

Clear coat is next. Some metallics simply will not shine on their own. This is one of them.

Here's an MEV Originals 1964 Chev Impala in Tamiya TS-52 Candy Lime Green, and Tamiya clear coat. My favorite colour.

Looks like my entire garage is turning green.

Something just arrived in the mail. My first look at the 2019 Micro Scalex chassis.

The 66 Buick Riviera is a cool car to take for an ice cream. It went back into the garage.

A 1970 Challenger T/A 340 Six Pack is a better choice for a drag racer. "Six Pack" is reference to a special intake manifold with 3 x Holley 2-barrel carbs. A pain in the neck to tune. But more powerful than a 4-barrel Holley carb when working properly.

It's on its way for the next drag race via airmail.

The real intake and carbs.

Auto World sent a replacement chassis for a defective dragster chassis.

Excellent customer service!

The fun begins.

These Johnny Lighting - Thunderjet bodies came in today. All slated to become drag-racers. Oops. Yep. Addicted.

The "Vanishing Point" Challenger was on special for $11, so I bought two. One for vanishing point proxy racer for each continent.

Are the wheels from the pullback chassis useful for slot cars?
