DoctorLarry Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Folks ran the 77 Century in NASCAR in two body forms: the fastback (same roof as the Laguna and 77 Cutlass) and the "formal" V window form (Century, Cutlass, Monte Carlo). GM A bodies of the Collonade era used a lot of parts across models for cost savings. Floor pans, firewalls, roofs and sometimes door skins (77 Century and 77 Cutlass). Probably the most recognizable formal roofline car was the one Dale Earnhardt ran. I took my first casting from my Century mold and grafted a Revell Monte Carlo roof onto it. This will be the Earnhardt Number 2 formal roof car. Gerald likes this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsportwagon Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Powerslide makes a killer set for these Earnhardt cars. Has the pinstripes that separate the colors too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 What color is the pinstripe, Tim? Do you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Went to the web site. Sold out. Hopefully the body is as popular as the decals! Tim or Gerald, do you have any more pictures of the livery on the car? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorLarry Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 SMH Resins had them. Mike's Decals sold out. Ordered 2 sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorLarry Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Evidently SMH has not updated their web site in awhile. They refunded my money. Guess I stick with the ones I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsportwagon Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I’ll bet Mike does another run of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
