Working on the interior. Drivers net, race harness, steering column and some miscellaneous wiring.

Yeah, Werner Enterprises pretty much owned the entire racing operation when they were the primary sponsor. After the sponsor went away in 07 the rig went here and just sat. These pictures were taken in 2014. The two remaining cars are displayed in the company museum that is also on this site.

I wasn't completely satisfied with the clear coat as it appeared to be thin in a few areas so I sanded the finish down smooth and added a couple more coats of two part urethane.

I drove for Werner for almost three years and everytime that I had to go to the home office yard in Omaha I got to see this rig just sitting there in the trailer yard.

This is another quickie, curbside Gen 6 build using the Revell curbside kit along with decals from Pattos. I added the front splitter, lowered stance, kicked out the drivers side rocker, filled the exhaust openings and made a new one. The decals are typical Pattos and I had purchased them before they were available elsewhere. Since I've already done a couple of builds with Pattos I figured that I've gotten pretty good at making them look halfway decent. https://images34.fotki.com/v1523/photos/3/177223/14464425/20190609_140423-vi.jpg[/img]

Here are some Prudhomme/Dixon shots.

What Jon stated is true about the clubs south of Portland. The Lane Auto Modelers group is a great bunch of guys. The best model scene out there is Portland and it's only roughly 2 hours from Eugene/Springfield area or about the same time span from Bend.

More progress. Fire extinguishers mounted, driveshaft installed and the wheel tubs are shaped, decaled and cleared.

More updates. Fuel cell and puke tank attached and plumbed along with the rest of the turbo plumbing and exhaust.

Mine were a reprint of what is available from Mike Coleman.

That's a cool video. I've got a copy of it that I obtained from Bob Paeth, years ago before his passing, along with one from 1987 and 1989, which if I was told correctly they were done by Roy Sorenson. The 89 video was cool because it's four hours long and features the awards banquet which featured the roast of Mark Gustavson.

Cool build.

More progress. I"ve got some of the turbo plumbing completed along with the drivers side exhaust. The bullhorn is removable so that I can add and remove the front clip. I also started on the tire lettering. And the clear coat has been applied.

More progress. The engine is installed and I've got to work on the turbos and more plumbing and wiring.

Ron, this engine will be using a twin turbo setup and that empty space will be filled shortly. I'm only hoping that I have enough space. All of the front suspension is complete and more engine plumbing completed.
