Davey Allison T-Bird

Heres some pics of a car I built about 15 years ago. It's deeply personal for me, as Davey was my absolute favorite driver, and racing hasn't meant nearly as much to me since his passing. It's actually the 2nd one I built, the first one I built as a teenager, but I always thought I could do better. I ended up dismantling the first one for parts, some of which I used on this one. I built the window net with a kit I bought, I think from detail master. Built the seat harnesses and used a photo etch set for buckles and window clips. post-15486-0-37508500-1428527004_thumb.jpost-15486-0-19703800-1428527013_thumb.jpost-15486-0-65449400-1428527022_thumb.jpost-15486-0-05792900-1428527046_thumb.jpost-15486-0-28116200-1428527057_thumb.jpost-15486-0-28116200-1428527057_thumb.jpost-15486-0-53857400-1428527088_thumb.j

Yes- I've often wondered how many championships he'd have won, as well as races. I don't think Robert Yates racing would've went off the skids like it did either. I'd like to build the white T-Bird in the future to go along with it. I looked, and they se to be plentiful online. Thanks for your comment.

Outstanding build and tribute to Davey - well done sir! I've got 2 of this kit and 2 of the earlier white/gold/black kit that I've been hesitant to build cause I want my skills to be up to the task of making them great. I became a nascar fan as Davey was coming to prominence and he quickly became my favorite. Always smiling, always pleasant - but also a fierce competitor who wasn't afraid to lay the chrome horn to anyone. Not ashamed to say that of all the movie stars, rock stars, racers, people of notoriety, that have died in my lifetime - his was the only death that I broke down and cried over. Excellent build - thanks for sharing!
