CARRERA SLOT CAR TRACK
Thanks fyssh. Teresa's grandkids were over during Thanksgiving and it didn't take long for them to get hooked on the track. They used to be fascinated by the theater and pinball but I think the racetrack is the biggest thrill for them now.
I've tried to assemble most of what's in our basement from swap meets, Craigslist purchases, and from eBay. Everything costs money and it tends to add up but I've saved a ton by reconditioning used stuff and building from scratch.
I bought all 12 of the theater seats for a total of $100. The stand I made for the steering wheel was from scrap iron. I won the SNAKE & MONGOOSE banner from the movie maker's Facebook contest where you were asked to post before & after pictures of your car build. (I posted pictures of my Barracuda) I bought the Pepsi light up sign that I display movie titles on at a swap meet for $10. The pinball machine that I modified was a cheap purchase from Craigslist. It needed rebuilding. Wherever possible I scrimped to cut corners.
