THE KC SLAMMERS MODEL CAR CLUB...

"The Lil' Coffin", Built By Dave Stuckey, Restored By Darryl Starbird !
My friends at the KC Slammers definitely deserve a few words here at the HUB.
I’ve known ‘em all for years. My good friend (and, their’s) the late Hall Of Famer/Modeler Elden Titus ALWAYS built models of the cars he was to fabricate and drive “in real life”. And the Slammers carry on the tradition of putting together a Model Car Display & Contest at the yearly KKOA Lead Sled Spectacular in Salina, Kansas in Elden’s honor.
These guys are a hardcore group of enthusiasts that love to build, enjoy, and show their Rods & Customs in small scale. And if you’re in the KC Area and want to join-up with the Slammers, or, just check-out all they do for the furthering of the Model Hobby, find out lots more on their Official WebSite
Hey, I built ‘em myself when I was in High School…wish I had some of those chopped, cool rides I glued together then, but somehow they “vanished” when I went off to College. Think my Mom probably gave them to some kids who were friends of the family. BUT, my chopped ‘56 Merc Phaeton 4-Dr.,’56 Ford Pickup, and, ‘56 Caddy were very cool…if I do say so myself !
Be sure to see my ELDEN TITUS TRIBUTE PAGE on the HOF Legend WebSite.

Thanks Joe ! That’s what happened to lots of my stuff ! If I had it all back to resell at today’s prices I’d be a MILLIONAIRE !
