It took me a while to get theses posted, but here it is. Another Modified Production build. I really miss this class of racing. 
AMT 55 Chevy Nomad kit, mostly out of the box. SMP decals, Testors Classic White, with Splash clear.

Hello I am a friend of Joe Scottos.   He loooves his old race cars very dearly.   Your work here is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!  We just happened across this forum and he is wondering are these kits available that he can get somewhere?  Any help is appreciated, I would love to get one in his hands!    Garrett

 

Edit:  For some reason i only saw some of the pics originally.  I now see everything involved and realize it is not a kit.   I cannot even imagine how many meticulous hours were spent here!

The 1/25 scale kits are still available and, I think, the decals from smp are available.  The gentleman who makes them is a member here and could possibly help you.  As you have a personal interest in this, perhaps contact a local Hobbylobby or other hobby shop and inquire whether someone could build one for your friend.  I know a lot of us would be willing to build a kit for the owner of a great car like this.  I am currently building a drag car of the mid sixties with the help of the son of the original owner of the car.  Heck, try building it yourself.  It’s not brain surgery as most of this build would be out of the box.  You might find a new hobby.

The model shown above is based on this 1/25 scale kit from AMT, that's been reissued in several different boxings, not all of which are shown below.
