<profile removed> Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Here's another one I built about 30 years ago. It is quite crude and innacurate, I realize, but it's held up ok and, to me, represents a fond moment in time. Cannonball Run kit, basically box stock, pretty sure those are Monogram wheels and tires. Haven't a clue who did the decals. They are starting to flake off, though I did find another unused set in the box, so I may restore. I also used pinstripe tape for the front bumper. As I recall, the kit bumper stuck out too far and the actual race car seemed to have more of a "rub strip" than an actual bumper. Looking at it now just makes me laugh. And yes, yes that really is a piece of window screen wrapped in pinstripe tape for a window net. This was built in the day before the aftermarket was so...available, so I did the best I could with what I had.

bbowser Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Nice! I always really liked this body style. Did you do something to tone down the chrome rims, they look great!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'd like to say "yes" I did something really cool and technical with the wheels, but no, the Monogram chrome trees in the 90's (like the Lumina) had more of a satin finish than shiny chrome that came with the 80s kits.

iBorg Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 It has held up quite well. AS for the screen, it looks pretty accurate for the nets that were being used at that time. It captures the real car well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragonhawk1066 Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Cool, yes. Crude, no. Inaccurate, don't know, don't care. I love seeing "inaccurate", "what if" paint schemes on NASCAR builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Rob, looks like another fine build you have there. Hope you are planning on building some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
