Was going to start this next weekend but an impromptu trip to Indy has sprung up. Special delivery from James...six pack of cars  Those turned into these. (had to black out parts of my address)   And they'll all end up like the dry run here.  Prepping tires..I like to just yank the front tires off   Testing 1..2..(in Ben Stern voice)  Priming bumpers and RC wings  |

Nice. That was a really sharp looking car. Yeah it was. Glad Aldo designed a car that wasn't too hard for me to recreate. Thanks James is going to be thrilled, let us know how the trip goes - sounds like a blast!! Jordan Will be making a visit to the speedway on Thursday! No trip to Indy is complete without a visit to IMS! What else do I see, a '14 Rahal and a 12/13 Pagenaud? BTW, nice cup Yes there's a Rahal Nation Guard car in the works. Used Star Spangled Blue which I know is wrong but I couldn't get my hands on TS-89. The blue used has some awesome metallic in it and I thought it looked cool so I used it. I might have to restart though since I jacked up the stripes. Fingers crossed I don't have to. Pagenaud's Detroit 1st win is getting built too. I will prime the donors for his Houston car along with the yellow submarine today. Big hockey fan so there are signed pucks jerseys and sticks scattered around the house. I'm not your typical Mexican lol... Listen to metal, Indycar fan and hockey fan. |

Fantastic stuff! Boy! I dont know if I could ever handle doing something like this.....too much pressure! I think I've gotten used to the pressure. Doesn't bother me as much anymore. This part is so cool!  Pagenaud cars will go great with this cool prize from SPM!   |

Finally got a few builds off my "workbench" Helio Indy 500 - I used a spray paint called Spaz Stix or something like that for the chrome suspension. My cousin does RC cars so he had some to spare. It worked ok. Messed up the stripe decal in a few spots.   Pagenaud first Indycar win Detroit   Started Kurt's Indy 500 car too  |

Fantastic! I really like the Kurt Busch stone work! Thanks I can't take credit for the body. Greenlight produced it like that. Just doing bumper and rear wing. Thankfully bumper was gray only on race day. So just need to find right shade. |

Thanks for the photos Mike. The Greenlight car has a way lighter shade of gray on it. (At least in my eyes). I found a light gray but am not sure about it. What do you guys think???  Have had this wing built for Rahal's Blu car for a bit. The body is being chromed now. Just a waiting game for when ever I get that back. Chris's wing is great!!!  Just started Briscoe's TNT car from Long Beach. No extra fab going into it since the buyer wanted it as is.  |
