Just some old restos...

[theredlineboss]

I was wondering how things have been on the forum since I "retired" from collecting and figured I'd pop in and post a few of my old restos from many moons ago. It's been a long time since I tried my hand at restoring or customizing a casting; I think the last one I worked on was from 2005-2006 or so.








I always enjoyed seeing the different restorations and how they would vary from restorer to restorer. As a result, most of my "displayable" redlines were actually restos, lol.

Your magenta Cat is pretty. Mike

Thanks! That one was a kid-painted car which I hoped would be a nice casting underneath...only to find that the kid sanded it before painting, lol. A member who went by Cord Crazy zinc plated the body for me after I smoothed it out. It came out pretty nice.

Kool Deora! Cord, too! I skipped Cubs and went straight into BSA but always have had an appreciation for the Pinewood stuff. I enjoy looking at old vintage Pinewood Derby cars on Ebay for fun.

Recognize this HW? My PW Derby car about 20 years old, made with my sons. This PWD could be a neat thread. Pennies were for weightold Pinewood derby car 001.jpgold Pinewood derby car 002.jpgold Pinewood derby car 003.jpg

Cool - that looks great! Perhaps we could start a PWD thread during the next derby season - I've got a bunch of others that I could show off.
