Very nice looking engine, Dan

Thanks Carl,Ā itā€™s from Gary Wallace and it went together nicely.Ā 
Ā 

More progress on the cab details and have started on the Charger now. Still have to install the windshield wipers, door handles and steps on the passenger side and anything else I think thatā€™s needed. I also fixed the ruff paint on the work bench in the back.Ā 
Ā 

Thanks for everyoneā€™s comments I appreciate them.Ā

Man!!! This looks so AWESOME!!! One of my favorites, for sure... I love this rig... I have to build something similar... This too cool... This is one of the coolest models... I love it... Just too cool... That rig could work well at any of today's race tracks... And, I'm sure it would get some serious looks, too.... Amazing work...

I used up all my Petty blue paint and after a little wet sanding I was able to burn through it so lā€™ve got more paint on order so Iā€™ve finished my wet sanding and build as much as I can while Iā€™m waiting for the paint to arrive.Ā
