Scottnkat Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Well, here's my version of Kurt Busch's 2012 COT car driven at Talladega. The kit started out as Dale Earnhardt, Jr's #88 2010 Chevy Impala kit. I added missing bars from the rollcage, wired the ignition modules, used a resin nose for the car, and used decals by Stoney's Customs. The kids have been wanting me to build this for a while, so they're happy that it's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottnkat Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 I think it was the Mobay piece - got it from Mike's Decals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scuderia Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Kurt had some good drives in that 51 car through the season. This was my fav of his car schemes of course lol. Nicely done on your version! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher5150 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So was this an actual car that was raced or just a model build based off of the movie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottnkat Posted February 6, 2013 Author Share Posted February 6, 2013 It was actually raced at Talladega in 2012. From what I understand, Kurt had to get approvals from lots of people to use the scheme. My favorite part of the race is when one of the announcers said, "Oh, I've been wanting to say this all night: And Ricky Bobby takes the lead!"
