DoctorLarry Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 After trying for two years to find a resin copy of SMH Resin's 1977 Century, I decided to make my own. It is for my Jim Thirkettle Buick project. The molds are currently curing and should be ready tomorrow. I will pop out a casting and see how it turns out. This is the fastback version used by a number of drivers. After that, I will also be doing a formal roofline model to do Dale Earnhard's car as well as the Buddy Baker 28 car. After the fastback is done it will be easy to knock off the formal roofline car. Stay tuned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 First pass. Pretty smooth with a few bubbles but the mold turned out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gks1964 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 How did the interior come out? The exterior looks good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Underside has a few bubbles, but this was a first cast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shambles Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Nice work and an interesting subject. I've considered trying my hand at resin casting, but decided my skills ain't up to the task. I love vintage NASCAR and have done a couple of 1-offs. This one is still on my bench and intended to be Buddy Baker's #87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
