That is some awesome work there Carl. I still can't believe that is one of the chassis' I made a trade deal with Larry on. Superb. Keep it up.
Can't wait to see it when it is done.

Talk about ironic. I just picked up a Sprints Plus kit last night for a new class the local track is starting up, but after seeing these pictures I'm
thinking of trying something similar. Can you share with me who makes the body?

Nice and relatively easy way to get an Offy roadster. Should be fast and very rugged.
I have always wanted to build a Watson roadster, but I think I will cast them up in resin so that the other Bombers can build cars too. I probably will punch out the chassis from brass at work like I did for the sprint cars Norb posted a couple months ago. Hopefully the Indy cars will be as much fun as the sprint cars turned out to be. |

I use Radio Shack "Hi-Tech" solder for all our soldering needs.

Carl,
AWESOME CAR! I LOVE your exhaust work! Can't wait to see the finished product! now, if only Sprints Plus would narrow up the front axle carrier so it could be neatly tucked away. (I know, I know - it is easy enough to mod, but still) PS - Please detail your exhaust fabrication process! |

I would love to have one of those watson roadsters for when my dad came over, he would Poop his pants. :-) Can't wait to see yours painted looks, awesome
so far. I saw some AJ Foyt decals on eBay Sheraton Thompson #1 car i think they were. I personally have had success painting the outside of lexan bodies and
then put the wet-transfers on top of that and then brush on clear just over the decals to protect them. I use Pactra Lexan paint from a small bottle.

Offy Runs..! | ||

Tuesday night, April 28 the Offy Roadster made it's first laps at Carl's Hurricane Speedway..!
While the car is still in the detail phase of construction, we just couldn't resist the chance to run it. It showed to be a quick and easy to drift open-wheeler in the style of the 1960's slot cars. It was a blast drifting it wide through the corners.! Now to get the graphics done. Oh ya by the way. We aren't the "president" of club B.A.R.F. just a senior or founding racer. Please see wrinkles and grey hair..
