2009 RYAN GODOWN

358 MODIFIED

RYAN GODOWN'S 2009 358 DIRT MODIFIED TEO PRO CAR - THIS IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL CAR. I LOVE THE COLOR COMBINATION, STYLE OF THE GRAPHICS THE COMPLETE PACKAGE. OUR REPLICA OF THE CAR IS EXACT IN GRAPHICS AS WELL AS BODY DESIGN. WE HAVE ADDED THE RUBBER LOWER SKIRT DESIGN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR UNDER THE DOORS AS WELL AS THE REAR QUARTER PANELS.

THE QUARTER GLASS OUTER DIMENSION IS THE SAME AS A STOCK TEO PRO BUT THE INNER DIMENSION, THE ACTUAL GLASS IS SMALLER. SAME WITH OUR REPLICA OF THE CAR. THE FRONT END , LOWER SCOOP WERE THE FRONT PUSH BAR GOES THROUGH IS ANOTHER AREA OF OUR CAR THAT DESIGNED TO MATCH. WITH ALL THE DIFFERENT STYLE FRONT ENDS ON DIRT MODIFIED'S IT IS IMPORTANT TO DESIGN AND BUILD ALL OF THE DIFFERENT FRONT ENDS TO MATCH UP PERFECTLY TO THE REAL CAR.

2009 MIKE ILES

BIG BLOCK MODIFIED

MIKE ILES 2009 BIG BLOCK BICKNELL DIRT MODIFIED - THIS IS A BRIGHT BOLD CAN'T MISS CAR ON THE TRACK ! WHAT REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE ABOUT THIS CAR WAS THE BODY. EVERYTHING LOOKS JUST A LITTLE BIT BIGGER IN SIZE, BIG DOORS, BIG QUARTERS AND LARGE GROUND EFFECT SKIRTS ALL THE WAY AROUND IT. COOL LOOKING CAR.

I TOOK OUR BODY TEMPLATE FOR THE BICKNELL CAR AND INCREASED JUST SLIGHTLY SOME OF THE DIMENSIONS TO GIVE IT A BIGGER BODY IN AREA'S TO MATCH THE REAL CAR.LARGE GROUND EFFECT SKIRTS ALL THE WAY AROUND AS WELL. CHANGED OUR QUARTER GLASS WITH THE SMALL BLACK OUTLINE. ONCE AGAIN ALL OF THE THINGS TO MAKE THE CAR A TRUE REPLICA OF THE REAL CAR !

2009 JEFF STRUNK

358 MODIFIED

JEFF STRUNK 2009 358 MODIFIED TEO PRO CAR - NOW IS THE REAL CAR PHOTO THAT WAS IS THEIR BIG BLOCK CAR, BODY WISE AND GRAPHICS SAME AS THE 358 EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT PUSH BAR. THE BIG BLOCK HAS A BICKNELL STYLE BAR ON IT, I AM NOT SURE BUT IT MAY EVEN BE A BICKNELL CHASSIS. IT IS NOT A BICKNELL BODY ON IT THOUGH. BUT THE 358 CAR HAS THE TEO PRO CAR FRONT BAR ON IT AND THAT IS WHAT I WENT WITH ON THE REPLICA. I KNOW THEY DID SWITCH FROM BICKNELL'S TO TEO CARS SO I WENT WITH THAT.

NOW THE BODY DESIGN IS A ONE OFF DESIGN WE DID FOR THIS CAR. THERE QUARTER GLASS SECTION IS DIFFERENT FROM EITHER A TEO OR A BICKNELL SO WE CREATED A BODY JUST FOR THIS MODEL CAR TO MATCH UP PERFECTLY WITH IT. GRAPHICS CAME OUT AWESOME ON THE CAR, LOOKS REALLY GOOD.

2009 BRETT HEARN

BIG BLOCK MODIFIED

BRETT HEARN 2009 BIG BLOCK TEO PRO CAR - FIRST OFF THE REPLICA IN THIS PHOTO THE COLOR BLUE WAS OFF, NOT DARK ENOUGH. I DESIGNED A NEW LOWER FRONT END FOR THIS CAR LIKE BRETT RUNS AND A FEW OTHER CHANGES TO THE CAR. BODY PARTS WERE MADE FOR THIS AND READY TO ASSEMBLE WHEN I WAS OUT OF TOWN. I CAME HOME AND SEEN THE COLOR WAS OFF BUT BUILT IT ANYWAYS JUST TO SEE HOW IT WOULD GO TOGETHER SINSE PARTS WERE ALREADY MADE FOR IT. FITS GOOD, ONE VERY SMALL TWEAK BUT OVERALL REALLY HAPPY WITH IT. THIS CAR IS IN THIS COLOR WILL NOT BE SOLD, THE CAR HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO A BETTER MATCHING BLUE BUT SINSE IT WAS BUILT I DECIDED TO POST IT.

SAME AS I LISTED ABOVE LOWER FRONT END DESIGNED JUST FOR BODIES THAT BRETT BUILDS HIMSELF FOR THE TEO PRO CARS. ANY GRAPHIC JOB ON A HEARN BODY LOOKS GOOD. IN MY OPINION BRETT'S BODIES ARE ONE OF THE BEST LOOKING BODIES. GREAT ATTENTION TO DETAIL, THE STANCE, THE FRONT END JUST A GREAT COOL LOOKING BODY.

2009 BILLY PAUCH

BIG BLOCK MODIFIED

BILLY PAUCH 2009 BIG BLOCK TEO PRO CAR - MATCHING BODY PARTS SUCH AS THE LOWER GROUND EFFECT SKIRTS BUT JUST ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE DOOR AND QUARTER PANEL. FLAT ANGLE LOWER FRONT END WERE PUSH BAR RUNS THROUGH, TEO BODY STYLE. JUST EVERYTHING MATCHES UP TO MAKE THIS AN EXACT REPLICA.

GREAT LOOKING GRAPHICS, RED ON BLACK WITH DARK RED AND GOLD ENGINE TURNED STRIPES. IF YOU ARE A PAUCH FAN YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED !

WE ALSO HAVE HIS SMALL BLOCK #126, IT WAS THE CAR JEFF STRUNK DROVE LAST YEAR WITH HIS NAME ON IT. THAT IS ALL THE TEAM DID.

2009 BILLY PAUCH JR. BIG BLOCK MODIFIED - NOW THIS CAR I BELIEVE CAME OUT IN 2007 AND BILLY JR. HAS RACED IT ON AND OFF IN 07, 08 AND NOW 09.

THE CAR LOOKS LIKE IT IS A BICKNELL CHASSIS WITH A TEO PRO CAR BODY ON IT SO THAT IS HOW I DESIGNED AND BUILT IT.

I DON'T GET A CHANCE TO SEE BILLY JR. RACE MUCH BUT WHEN I HAVE HE HAS BEEN FAST IN WHAT EVER HE WAS DRIVING. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE ALLOT PLANNED FOR THIS YOUNG GUY AND WISH HIM THE BEST OF LUCK.

I THINK MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE THAT HIS DAD WAS AND IS STILL ONE HECK OF A DRIVER AND IF WAS GIVEN A SHOT AT THE BIG LEAGUE WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER HE COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING. I DON'T THINK HIS SMALL STINT IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE NASCAR TRUCK SERIES CLASSIFIES AS HE HAD HIS SHOT AT LEAST NOT TO ME.

ANYWAYS I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE JOB WE DID ON THIS CAR HE RUNS WITH A BIG BLOCK !

2009 RICHIE PRATT TEO PRO BIG BLOCK MODIFIED - STANDARD TEO PRO CAR TEMPLATES USED TO CREATE THIS REPLICA. I THINK THIS GUY IS REALLY GOING TO HAVE A BREAK OUT SEASON. THE MORE SEAT TIME THIS GUY GETS WITH THIS TEAM THE BETTER HE IS RUNNING. ANOTHER DRIVER I DON'T GET TO SEE RACE MUCH AT ALL BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND WHAT I HAVE READ SO FAR IN 2009 HE IS LOOKING STRONG.

UPDATE...THE SITE NEEDS MANY UPDATES OF CARS WE HAVE DONE BUT A BIG PROJECT THAT HAS TAKEN UP ALOT OF TIME IS OUR NEW

SLOT CAR BODY WEBSITE AND BUSINESS. EVEN IF YOU DO NOT RACE SLOT CARS STOP IN TAKE A LOOK AT SOME COOL DIRT MODIFIED SLOT CAR BODIES ! WE WILL BE COMING OUT WITH A 2009 SYRACUSE SERIES OF CARS !

What's going on for 2010 ? Well we are making a BIG return with a huge new line up of cars ! We have had been going non stop for about 7 years and about mid way through 2009 burn out started to set in. As you have seen nothing has been done with the website in 6 months. We just finally hit the wall and really needed a break. We continued to build but as far as pumping out new cars and updates on the websites all fell to the wayside and we looked into other business opportunities and contemplated on ending this business as it is just so time consuming.

The economy is still very tough on many people in our country. The extra money people have for items like model cars or diecast cars items like what we sell is at a minimum. We knew the business would take a hit and it has as well as all of our supplies went up in prices as well as everything else like gas and normal living expenses we all have to pay for in normal life so that effected our prices. Bottom line it is tough on everyone right now still and it just took it's toll on us and made us really wonder is this worth keeping going ?

Well after not pushing at the rate we did for all of those years we started taking some nights off, some weekends off and really doing some other things besides racing and working and it was well needed and well used. We had worked 7 days a week as well as week nights for so long that we seemed to forget how to do anything else but to live eat and sleep this business and burn out set in. It got to the point where we just hated building cars and we knew we either needed to make changes or get out of the business as all the fun was gone and now it was just to many hours for not enough pay and that was all that we dwelled on. All we do is work and it seems we are just going no where to be honest is where we were at.

A place I am sure allot of you guys have all been through in your own lives and work and it beats you down if you let it. Then we happened to catch a TV show, I think it was 60 minutes and it showed families loosing their homes due to the economy and good people just in very , very bad spots and it made us think. We said you know we work, we are beat, never feel we are making enough money for all of the hours we work and why are we doing this and then you see those families loosing everything.

We said what is wrong with all of this ? We may be tired, feel underpaid and then you see that and say we are so lucky to have our home, food, cars payments being paid and cars. You felt guilty after seeing what is happening all over our country, heck all over the world and we said we are have no room to complain, none. Just look at these poor people and we have no right to complain or quit what we have been working on for years and building.

We need to make some changes, need to remember to take some time off, maybe an order takes an extra week or so but it always will get done but we don't have to work 7 days a week and we can still pound out allot of work. It is hard to work all the hours it takes for the pay but also people have emailed me, real good past customers and they just don't have the money and asked is there any way we could maybe do a car for $50 instead of $65.00 ? We have done a bunch of deals like that. Is $50.00 a car where we need to be ? No not for amount of hours of work plus materials and then paying taxes on it, not even close to where we need to be. But we understand as I have said we are in this together and we will do all we can to work with you and if that means us making less right now then that is what we are going to do for you. A good company will do anything they can to help out it's customers and this is what we will do.

There are also allot of people working for less then what they want to work, race teams racing for less then they want to race for. We just always think of those families we seen on TV that maybe didn't have that choice or maybe they did have the choice to still work but for less money and they stood their ground thinking, I can't work for that less money and now everything they have is gone. Who knows but just everything made us think, rethink and come out with a new game plan. We are redoing the website, we are dropping prices. We are doing what ever we can to make this still work and get people cars at a lower price. Help race teams get cars for their sponsors.

We have met allot of great people from all the race teams we have worked with, team sponsors and then the fans and we said we are not bailing out now. We will have to dig in and some how make it still work for as long as we can.

I have been working the last month on all new cars, I have rows of new cars built right now ready for photos. 2009 Syracuse cars, 2009 regular season cars. I mean we have some kick ass cars sitting here ready to be released and we have our batteries recharged.

I am shooting for roughly mid February 15th -20th, right in that time frame to reopen this website redone, new cars and new prices.

Okay time to get working just thought after nothing on this website new or updated in so long I better take some time and explain what is going on and what our plans are.

Thanks for all the emails of support over the months and encouragement to keep this business alive ! We appreciated it and just wait and see what we got planned for 2010 !
