jdcar32 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) http://i1214.photobucket.com/albums/cc489/jdcar32/Nascar%201960%20Pontiac/th_100_0366.jpg' alt='th_100_0366.jpg'> This model is based on a Modelhaus Bonneville body with the hood cut open. I now realize it is incorrect as it should be a Catalina. The decals ( Fred Cady and white film ) and color are based on an old promotional film. The chassis is Monograms 59 Impala with 2 shocks per wheel. A modified stock bucket seat and engine were pirated from a GTO kit. Thanks for looking.

MarkJ Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 (edited) Great job on the Pontiac, Jon. I believe that is the car Buck Baker drove in place of Jack Smith that took the Southern 500 in 1960. Like you said the Catalina was a little shorter and made a better race car than the Bonneville. Edited May 22, 2012 by MarkJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
