I know I don't post much on here cause of work, and I have a 6 wk. baby boy.
This is a pro stock or mod I really have not decided which way I'm leaning towards.
I get my inspiration for Clay K , David T, & 1320 Wayne. If I can more time to get this
one done I am planning on going to Ga. in Nov.
This is what I started with

And this is where I'm at now

The insides of the rims are black, I might paint the rest of the rims black.
Thanks for looking and comments are welcome.

Charlie, the frame is from the firebird match racer kit
Wayne, for the body I have the pro stock grand am body
but I looked on Slixx website and noticed under new release it shows Richie Stevens Jr. Dodge Stratus pro stock
so maybe if there doing his decals I might order the Stratus body?
