bbowser Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'll throw one in. This is one of the first cars I did after getting back into the hobby, late '80s-early '90s. It's showing its age but still a favorite none the less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Okay , I have a few Petty cars to share with you . The first one is an original MPC Petty Plymouth that I built in 1972 . The kit didn't have the STP decals so I did some hand painting . This is how it looks today , unrestored . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 This is an MPC Petty Charger that I built in 1973 . I've taken it apart and started a rebuild using only the original parts . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 This one is a mess ! The JoHan Petty Superbird built in '70 or '71 . Wrong color , straws for exhaust , aluminum foil on the firewall ? I'll rebuild it one day . And last is a kit I probably will never build . Purchased in the mid 80's , I'll wait for the reissue to build one .

I love seeing those vintage kits, I plan on building 2 of the 1/16 kits when they come out, leaving 1 clear and putting a paint job on the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottnkat Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) Thanks, guys - those last couple were taken with my old camera and the color is a little off. I liked the blue and white one also, but I never did find out why the number on the roof was off-center. If anyone knows, I'd be curious to find out if there was a reason for it.
