1/25 Boulevard Cruisers - KensRedZed - 22nd-Aug-23

A while back someone in our 1/32 club wondered if the new large club track would fit 1/25 cars?

A few 1/25 bodies were set on the track to test the 3.5" inch spacing.

The first two test cars hit the track. They ran great.

A few more cars were added by the next event.

We just had an event last Saturday and this is what the field looked like.

Three more cars are expected to be ready for the next event, next month.

RE: 1/25 Boulevard Cruisers - rallyhub - 22nd-Aug-23

That's what we call close racing. Cool

More 1/25 cars are being built. Here's my friends '64 Impala SS on the tech block.

A few more cars were freshly painted. Getting ready for chassis. Although these next cars might not be considered boulevard cruisers.

I like the sound of your club Ken, trying different cars and not the usual suspects people like to race.
That grid looks awesome.

Thank you very kindly, Tony.

RE: 1/25 Boulevard Cruisers - Anthony B - 30th-Oct-23

Lots of awesome cars in progress of being built!!

DO you race them like this or have they been completed?

RE: 1/25 Boulevard Cruisers - KensRedZed - 30th-Oct-23

Hi Anthony,

Thank you very kindly.

This is still a new scale for our club. Everyone is trying to figure out and sort the interiors. The gentlemen with the red '63 Impala is the only car with an interior so far. But he threw the static interior that weighs over 40-grams alone. I'm going to make mine out of card stock.

5 or 6 members meet once a month for the last several months. Every once in a while a race breaks out.

Chris Walker joined us yesterday and showed us his 1/24 vintage Cox collection. We also got a look at the 1/32 Chaparral 2D he just completed. Nice stuff.

I vowed to have interiors for my cars by next month. Checkeredflag

1/25 hard bodied cars are a whole new experience for us.

My light kit from Pete's Light Kits just arrived. It was custom made with longer wires for the 1/25 cars. That should be interesting.

Lastly. These cars all had dual exhaust. Some nice tail pipes would really complete the look. It's only a matter of time.

Ken - look at ebay - there is a seller in either the states or Canada (cant remember offhand which) that sells Lexan type interiors for all types of 1/24th cars - but a lot from him a couple of years ago.

Went and looked him up - name is - sizzlerdom

He has them currently available for 3 or 4 bucks each.

RE: 1/25 Boulevard Cruisers - KensRedZed - 30th-Oct-23

Anthony,

Thank you very kindly for the info. I will look for Sizzlerdom.

Here are a few pics of Chris Walkers cars from Saturday.
