<profile removed> Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I guess this will do for today. A couple more old builds from "the archives". I'm sure some of you are wondering why someone would post such cruddy builds. Well, I think there is a little charm in how naive these are. Certainly not up to today's standards, but awesome sitting on a shelf as a reminder of mis-spent youth. Really glad I found this box and shudder to think how many more went to the dump. Basically box stock with Fred Cady decals that have yellowed over time. I guess I was pretty proud of having found aftermarket decals back in the day so I could build something that was different (compared to box stock offerings) Suppose you could call these "survivors." Thanks for looking! Love to see other's old NASCAR builds. I know there's survivor posts in other topics. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Those look great, haven't yellowed much at all! I've got some oldies from the '90s that look terrible now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that compared to those who do full plumbing, wiring, photo etch, etc, these must seem too "simple", but considering their age, and the number of times they have been moved or put up in storage, I'm just pleased I didn't end up with a box of parts ?

MarkJ Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Cruddy? Well if those are cruddy I guess all of my builds are less than cruddy. Seriously, excellent builds and looking forward to seeing more of your builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 I would be proud of those if I built them today, they look great. Very nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, thanks, but I have seen some of your builds and I swear they are so realistic, a couple drops of gas in the tank and they'd be runners!
