In all my years I don’t recall ever building a stock car before . I used the Isaac Ford kit .  Bought aftermarket decals . Body is Short Cuts white with a gloss black hood .  Red grill and wheels . Black and silver interior . Clear is Duplicolor 1k . Second kit lately that gave me fits . Is it me or the kits ? ( it’s me ! ). Anyway here it is such as it is .

It’s not you on this one. This chassis is next to impossible to get right. To the point I steal the body and it’s pieces and throw the chassis out. I substitute a stretched 90s Tbird chassis sits better way less headaches

Thanks fellows. Two things I most dislike about this kit or at least the the way mine turned out is the ride height and the wheelbase is too short. I could have fixed these 2 issues but I did not notice till I mounted the body.

Nice to see that kit built. Well done. I hope those are my decals.....there is a guy on ebay that photo copies ALL my decals......🤬

I know it's to late for you.....but back when Model King issued these kits I was working with them and did a How To on building thsese kits. Thanks
