      Joe its all about fun, you would laugh if you seen the unedited version, there wasn't much of a plan I just started hacking to make this chassis fit this old slot car body, I appreciate you always Joe.

    Awesome👍🏻 Resurrecting a car from your youth. It’d be sweet if you could swap bodies in the larger scales like in ho scale. Can’t wait to see it rolling. SCFL!

      @@SlotCarLeagueOfChampions oh wouldn’t that be nice, there’s probably an easier way then what I’m doing but that wouldn’t be fun😂 thanks my friend, I’m actually running it now for the first time and the old dinosaur lives again. Hopefully I’ll get it uploaded sometime this week, much appreciated 🍺

    This was absolutely enjoyable to watch. Perfect presentation and explanation of your thinking process and steps taken. I am far far off from being a scratch builder of any sort but this was fun. Hats off to you Ted. Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to the next videos
