Slammer?

What is the correct definition of a slammer built model?

[Ace-Garageguy]

In model cars, it usually means no engine, interior or underside details...basically just a styling exercise with blacked-out windows.

Not to be confused with the term "slammed", which means lowered to the extreme.

The terms do get somewhat interchanged, and then there's the (door) slammer classes in drag racing...something entirely different. 

Here are two kitted "slammers" from AMT. There are more in the series, and they make great bases for wild customs. No guts, black windows.

     

This AMT kit is labeled a "slammer", which is also a name for a type of short-track race car.      

This is "slammed" .   

In drag racing "door slammers" can refer to any full-bodied car with operational doors, as opposed to funny cars with one-piece flip-up bodies.
