ranma Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 While racing at Sears Point International raceway, Kyle was clipped on the right rear by Johnny Benson. Benson had a tire go down which forced him into Petty's car, and caused Petty to lose control. Petty glanced off a retaining wall smashing the left front of his #44 Pontiac.
MarkJ Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Wow, Rick. Awesome job on simulating bent sheetmetal. Would love to watch your process. Was that a particular crash from a particular race? Also, great job on the flatbed.

Was that a particular crash from a particular race? Also, great job on the flatbed. The process was rather easy heat from a lighter and bending it by hand/and small sprew cutter's. The roll back is a die cast bought off ebay. Made the back story up about Sears Point , But being a road course race one never know's.
Dwight55 Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 It sure looks authentic to me. On both the car and flatbed
Old Coyote Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Gorgeous build sir ..... it looks so realistic.
TarheelRick Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 Probably one of Kyle's "better" days, never was much of a driver. Beautiful work on that damage, looks very realistic.
SCRWDRVR Posted March 31, 2019 Posted March 31, 2019 I have that kit built without the dents but seems to me I remember when he raced that car it looked more like yours after most races.... LOL... Awesome job!!
Jim N Posted April 1, 2019 Posted April 1, 2019 Great job with the accident damage. Looks very realistic.
