This one is about 2 years old, but it is my favorite build so far. Not because of the subject, mostly because I just like the look of this car. I have not been a huge nascar fan since The Intimidator died, but I still love the cars. I like the ultra-cool paint jobs, and the low-slung and slick look of the bodies. That will change with the coming of the Car Of Tomorrow :roll:
Anywho, this is a Revell Pro-Finish Taurus stripped and repainted with Tamiya Camel Yellow. Slixx decals, and 2-part DuPont urethane clear top it off.
The tire detailing and stick pins I used for spoiler rivits are ideas I got from David Thibodeau, one of the finest nascar modelers around.
On to the pics:

Where did the car run at, I can't remember the paint job. Im more of the classic NASCAR, I like the cars from 1958 to 1999.

awsome build, always liked those older Matt Kenseth Cars, BTW, according to Jayski he ran that car in 2002 at the Coke 600
