Looks very good!

Dustin, the car looks real good. If I may offer a suggestion: The NACA duct decals on the rear 3/4 windows are on backwards.

Great looking collection of Chevy SS'!

Very nice. Great job weathering the truck.

Looks real nice. You did a great job!

Great job Wayne! Really great work.

Great job. The paint job is excellent!

Great job Jim. Really outstanding!

Wow, that is great work Dann!

Very nice. You did a great job!

Bart, it is always best to apply decals to a smooth gloss surface. If you require a flat finish, then use a flat coat afterwards. The reason for this is that a decal may not completely adhere to a flat finish, and what can happen is that the light goes through the clear carrier and then bounces off of the model and then it hits the back side of the clear carrier. This causes a "silvering" effect. As far as the yellowing, it kind of depends on what caused it. Some decals like paper can yellow with age. If this has happened I am not sure what you can do other than what Snake suggested. The other thing that can happen with older decals is that the glue can age an cause this problem. You can see this on the race car above. If this has occurred, there is likely nothing that can be done about that.

Very nice. You did a great job!

Very nicely done!

Looks very nice!

Another great looking build. Great job!

Great looking model. Outstanding work!

Great job Johnny. Looks great!

I had a great uncle that went to the horse races a lot. I went with him a number of times. I had forgotten about the track using a car like this to start the races until I saw your model. Thanks for bringing back some memories. Superbly built model!

Another gorgeous build Dann!

Very cool! Really outstanding work.

Great job! I agree with Mark. These are fun to build and look nice if one puts a little bit of time and effort in them.

Both are very nicely done! Great job.

I like it! I built this one too. It's somewhere on these pages and used Dupli-Color Bahama Blue. Unless you know the color code, its a hard color to match because it presents differently based on the lighting. I saw this car race in person. It was a night race at Kansas and the color change from the daylight to night was stark. Based on the lighting later in the race, the color you chose was pretty much spot on. When the sun was still shining, it had lighter hues to it.

Presently, we own a 17 Malibu and an 09 Impala. Without getting into a lengthy list, the two cars we owned prior were a 94 Cutlass Ciera and a 99 Lumina. Not exactly the kinds of cars the model kit builders flock to.

I recall reading an article a while (perhaps a couple of years) ago in which it was alluded that Chevrolet has taken the front engine - rear drive platform about as far as it can performance wise. This in itself seems to lend credence to moving to a mid engine design if they are going to try and keep the car competitive as a world class sports car.
