acmiaz Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nice Job! That no easy task I think I would need a couple weeks at best. I still thing the aeroback MC was the best looking cup car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartattaq Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 amazing job, better than I could do in a month of sundays. Didn't mean to sound snide about the window net, was a serious question as I havent built any early model stock cars, and very few newer models, so I did not want to assume I knew. Anyhow great build, and love the idea of doin it in 24 hours, setting challenges like that can take the monotony out of a build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMChladek Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) Ohhh my, only way I might have tried something like this would have been with a Michael Waltrip Bahari Racing Pennzoil Pointiac since it had fewer contingency sponsors! DANG good job for a 24 hour build. So are you seeing weird mirages now due to the sleep deprivation?

VERNON Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Tommy, I gotta ask the obvious question. What flavor Ice Cream is that??? Just kidding, great looking build. Tim was truley one of the greats that never had chance to really prove himself, what a loss. Great looking build, keep up the great work.

roadhawg Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 Thanks, guys! It ain't perfect for sure, but it was fun to build a model in 24 hours. I've been a truck driver for the best part of 37 years, so going without sleep ain't really nothing new. I did get pretty drowsy around the 2:30 AM area, but a couple hours nap fixed it! By the way, I don't know why I titled this the '86 Monte Carlo....it's actually the '87 version....Tim's last ride. Ohhh my, only way I might have tried something like this would have been with a Michael Waltrip Bahari Racing Pennzoil Pointiac since it had fewer contingency sponsors! Thank goodness most of those contengencies were grouped together! If I had to apply them one by one, I'd probably still be decaling! Tommy, I gotta ask the obvious question. What flavor Ice Cream is that??? Just kidding, great looking build. Tim was truley one of the greats that never had chance to really prove himself, what a loss. Great looking build, keep up the great work. Vernon French Vanilla. That's my favorite flavor ice cream, lol. And yes, you right about Tim...he would've been one of the greatest.

doggie427 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Great build Tommy. It's hard to do anything for 24 hrs. but building a kit (with decals !) in one day is a great accomplishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooterville75 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Tim was a great guy. I raced karts with Tims brother Tom at Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia when I raced the Enduro Series with the World Karting Association. Right off the Inwood exit on 81. Great guy. Would help anyone with anything if you simply asked for his help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
