Foghorn Leghorn Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 That's some excellent work! Neatly done! Think i found the pic you referenced for decal placement.....I wonder if Nascar really let him run with contingency decals on the doors?

james220 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Looks very nice. I'm working on a Hartman dodge also. It will be box stock. Did you use Camel yellow? Decals are probably ARCA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had looser rules than NASCAR did. The front spoiler alone would have disqualified it from nascar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Congrats sir! A perfect rendition of a beautiful race car. What are the engines like on this kit relative to the generic stuff they have on their 70's GM offerings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
