raisin27 Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 A little out of my comfort zone as I have not done many NASCAR Cup cars. This is going to be the 1956 Southern 500 winner, Curtis Turners 56 Ford Customline. Got the body painted and decaled got rid of the molded in exhaust on the chassis. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 Looking good. Definitely will be following this one as I want to do either Fireball's or Turner's 56 Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raisin27 Posted February 16, 2023 Author Share Posted February 16, 2023 The powerful Y block V8 is just about done along with the chassis. Just need to make some shocks. and a few small motor details. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 That's a beautiful build. The body colors and trim look extra crisp. This should be a great model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Nunes Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Very nice progress on this model. I really enjoy looking at these older race cars and yours is a winner in the making. 👌 Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raisin27 Posted March 2, 2023 Author Share Posted March 2, 2023 Well I just couldnt convince myself that the body turned out good enough so I did another one. Found a sedan body and turned it into a hardtop with the roof from an AMT 56 Ford. Painted, foiled and decaled it yesterday. Clearcoat tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raisin27 Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 I can see the finish line now. Got the interior done and she is up on the wheels now. I need to detail the engine compartment and the final body trim pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pierre Rivard Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Looks very very good. It's been a while since we've seen an early NASCAR build and hoping more will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
