Thanks Paul, I guess I could make a video of the different cars I have built, I have been thinking of making some videos of some different techniques for building cars , modifications, reshaping bodies and paint work. I have 30 years of paint and auto body experience that comes in pretty handy in these builds. The Chaparral was a pretty challenging build. Took a stock Strombecker body and did quite a bit of modifications. Had to reshape the entire body , and gave it a full interior ...
I usually do pva glue and hot glue … hot glue sets quick so I can keep moving on and the pva sets more permanent bond I mix my paint and drywall compound together for base color and then go back and add darker and lighter highlights after it’s dry
I use 6mm(1/4") cork floor tiles which are 300mm (1ft) square. Cut into strips of appropriate height. I join pieces with PVA glue and a pin top and bottom diagonally and let them dry. I then paint them with a white flat paint or 3 ion 1 primer undercoat. I use the same for widening the track edges, packed up to the 8mm height with thin cardboard glued to the underside, then seal and paint them with a suitable black, dark grey or brown flat paint as required.
👏🏽 Lookin' Good Boone 😏! 👍🏽 Thanks for the lesson on Polystyrene Crash Wall Barriers I've been waiting to see how you were going to make this wall & apply it to your track 😉! I'm just gonna have to go to Home Depot & just break down & buy a sheet of the ol' Pink Panther polystyrene foam so I can have it on hand when I need it I think that'll be more cost effective instead of buying 4 4x4 sheets at a time? ! ? !
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage Right but, I don't have a truck 😂 & that's been my delayed sheet purchase main reason for not doing it when I first started watching all these tutorials. But, as we've both come to the conclusion that its in more 🤑💰🤑 effective to just get the sheet and then worry about getting it home 🤣!
Way cool. You did a great job of making the transition from fence to wall very realistic. 😎🤙 So I’ve seen you add static grass on a few videos now and I’m eally interested in adding that to my raceway, I just have one minor issue. A little over a year ago I became the proud owner of a pacemaker/defibulater implant and I remember you have said that the grass applicator can shock you pretty well. Damaging my implant and/or it’s battery concerns me more than the actual shock, so I’ve decided to talk with multiple people (primary physician, cardiologist, hobby shop guy) before giving one a try. I would also like to ask you, or anyone reading this, if you have any experience with this applicator’s use and someone with a similar implant. If so, please share. Thanks again Boone. You’ve got a great channel here.
Thanks buddy, yes it’s a good idea to check with your Doc on this one. I have had quite the shock working with this little monster a few times. And it packs a hell of a punch. So checking with the Doc is a very good thing to do
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage … True that brotha. My doctor’s opinion will have the biggest impact on my decision, but I do put a lot of value on personal experience. Thank you for your input.
@@mikemueller1686 biggest thing about a static grass application is the same as Ghostbusters, “ don’t cross the beams” 😂. If the negative wire comes in contact with the applicator… ⚡️ zap.. it bites ya good
This is a great how to for concrete walls....thanks
Thank you Todd and your welcome

Sounds like a good process
We like the same style and vintage of race cars! CanAm, Le Mans, etc.
Yes , the modern stuff is nice but it just doesn’t have the same romance as the race cars from the past
HEY BOONE once again great vid & another super build!
Thank you Brad

Thanks Ray …Nice, cork is a great substrate to model with…
This is amazing! I love your work dude
Thank you Bradley
Absolutely top video Boone

@@djangofreeman5085 you could cut it down some in the parking lot so it fits in the car
Looks great !
Thanks Jeffrey
