    You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it!

    I'm working on a dividerless display myself for that same reason!

    I think it was @Toyotacrawler that made a beautiful case out of would. Thought about doing that so I can make it the whole length of the wall. I just don’t think I got the skill to do it. Someone else made one but I can’t remember who it was.

    Looks great. This was plan B if the plastic was too expensive. For the price of the plastic I can make them out of wood. Hell I probably have enough cherry and walnut to make a few of the frames.
    Did you cut your own dividers? Bandsaw? Or did you buy precut pieces?

    That’s awesome. I’m going to buy a couple these I’ve seen on eBay so I can finally display mine like this.

    I ripped the strips with a table saw, then cut them to length, then sorted them horizontal and vertical. Once they were sorted I taped them together, long vs short, marked the dados and cut them on the table saw. I have a radial arm saw now that I'll use to cut the dados if I can ever get around to making more.

    Another auto world Baja slot car. These things are pretty detailed. Almost makes me want to get a race track.

    Even just a piece of track to display on would be cool. Maybe cut to fit a case?

    Not sure. It’s not the regular orange track I can buy at Walmart. It’s the slot car track. They are supposed to fit the old afx and Aurora race tracks. These have a small magnet on the back to keep it from fishtailing and flying off the track. Don’t know if it will show in this picture.
