SHORT TRACK MODELS by Rod McLeod Randy Slack's Olds Cutlass Salon LMS

decals by BULLRING GRAPHIX!

When Tom Faletti mastered this Cutlass Salon body style, I knew that we had to do a sheet of Randy Slack decals. His version was one of very few that ran in Canada and what patriot could not be a fan of his trademark Maple Leaf number style?

In the interests of time, this one was built as a curbside. The chassis is from an Olds Delta 88 NASCAR kit and the main change to it was to build a short-track style tin kit out of Evergreen sheet plastic.

The track was widened and the rear was lowered to get the right stance. I added some exhaust dumps through the door, Detail Master hood pins and a fabricated net is draped over the roof as seen in a victory lane shot of the real car.

The project was stalled for a while as I geared up the courage to make the glass out of acetate but in the end that was not that difficult. I made some cardstock templates and then traced them onto acetate with a Sharpie. I mounted the rear quarter windows from the outside with some canopy glue and I was happy with the result.

The resin body is currently available from Fred's Resin Workshop (www.fredsresinworkshop.com) and there was very little prep required for this one. The only change I made to the body was to add some cooling holes in the front bumper and to close up the side-marker lights and taillights with Evergreen sheet. "
