i love the center console. Great work and attention to detail

your welcome. and thank you. When i return from my summer job with Tonny Petersen's Hell Drivers there will be many more pieces of thrill show history being built

you are not imagining things, its got capri fenders

Thank you everyone. and deathskull59 mr pibb is real. it is now known as pibb xtra, but it used to be called mr pibb. it is like dr pepper

that has come a long way and turned out fantastic. Great job!

it was a very fun build and it was pretty tough to get the damage right

yes, a couple pics on a thread about the chitwood kit

I built this as a close replica to a 1996 Grand-Am i derbied last summer. It was my first attempt with using wires to make things more realistic too.

I have been a thrill show fan since i was little. I have recently been building some replica cars from the Chitwood show. I spent a long time in photoshop coming up with decals as close as possible to the real cars. The 74 camaro was an actual chitwood model that was pieced together from a couple models (it now has more accurate decals, see first photo). The mid 90s camaro, 80's camaros, and 97 corvette were promo cars that i painted and created decals for. the cannon jump truck was made by ertl. I am going on tour with Tonny Petersen's Hell Drivers show this summer and will have my builds put on hold. But when i return to the bench i will be building many other cars from thrill shows of the past. Also i will be building the entire chitwood line up from the mid 90's including a new cannon jump from styrene.

haha First On Race Day. I had to do it, and no i'm not trying to start a ford vs chevy battle on this thread. Great Taurus. It wasn't abandoned long... i towed it away and used it for the demolition derby

ever finish the build???

Thank you for all the comments everyone. I am going to Redo the pavement so its seem less and some more touch up stuff. I have been thinking about doing the inside as well but i'm in no rush for that yet. Charlie - I live in sandwich so its quite the drive but its something i might have to make it to one day to check out

Any suggestions on buliding materials to use would be greatly appreciated. I am very new to the diorama aspect of model building.
