Not sure where to post this build. Anyway this started out as a built up Monogram 1/32 kit. I like to transform these to slot cars! Before picture shows how I got it with a mermaid painted across the hood.

Next is a picture of the body after a Super Clean bath. Also I made a roll cage for the interior by soldering some brass rod together.

Here is the finished product. Fitted a Slot It chassis to it, painted Tamiya #23 light blue. Trim done with chrome foil. Runs really well!

Perfect color for it! I bet it's easy to follow around the slot track.

A major improvement over how it was.

Great choice on the blue. Looks like Mopar Super blue. Nice!

Great work on a small scale build. I thought the mermaid was kinda hot though.
