Looks very nice. The paint and decal work are excellent.

Great job! The weathering looks great.

Looks great. Very nice work.

Did I write that the sheet metal was fabricated by the teams? No, I did not. At this point in time, there were few if any body on frame production cars. They were uni-body construction. NASCAR was and remains body on frame construction. The only way these cars are built is by the teams hanging the sheet metal on the cars. I couldn't care less who makes the sheet metal. My post above clearly stated that these cars are not purchased off of a dealer's lot. The frames are largely hand built whether it is done by a team or is outsourced. The sheet metal is hung on the cars by hand. The race cars are hand built.

I really suggest that you read or re-read RandyC's post on the previous page. These race cars are hand built. They are not bought off of a dealer's lot. I am a member on another racing site and they were posting photos of race cars from the 1980's and the 1990's. One of the pictures of a race car had Buick and Pontiac sheet metal. It was a Buick from the front bumper through the doors. It was a Pontiac from the B pillars on back. This car ran in at least one NASCAR event. Another person mentioned that in the Jack Roush museum there is supposed to be a race car from one of Mark Martin's memorable wins. EXCEPT IT'S THE WRONG CAR. If my memory serves me correctly it was another car that was put together with whatever parts they had lying around in the race shop. In the 1970's, Chrysler took a picture of one of Richard Petty's Chargers and put it nose to nose with a production Charger. Petty Enterprises messaged the front end of the race car. Starting from the middle of the wheel wells going forward, the sheet metal has a downward slope to it. The front end of the race car is noticeably lower than the production car. If a model company used any of these cars as the basis for a kit, none of them would meet any of your expectations for what the car should look like. But all of them would be representations of cars that actually raced.

Amazing work!

Looks great! As others have noted, the weathering is top drawer work.

Nice job Brian. Lot's of detail - looks great!

In a perfect world, they would delay production and get the problems corrected. But this is a small company and they must have cash flow. They cannot bleed cash indefinitely. Also for every argument that there is a problem with the kit there has been a counter argument that the kit is correct.

Great job! The car looks really nice.

Very nicely done. The color combination looks great.

Looks very nice! Great color combination.

Very cool! You did a great job.

Looks great! Super work all the way around.

Very nice model. Very sad to lose four drivers in such a short span largely because NASCAR dictated that safety was the responsibility of the teams.

Very nice! As everyone else said; great work on the decals.

Looks very nice. You did a great job!

Bill, you are correct, but if things ever get to that point, what few manners and decorum this society has left will be gone. Those that survive will be the ones with the most guns and bullets. Furthermore, they will also have to be the ones who aren't afraid to kill a lot of other people to keep what they have.

The early models of the PS3 were backward compatible with the PS2. I don't know about the PS1. Our kids did not start playing on the Playstation until the PS2. They had the Sega Dreamcast. The later versions of the PS3 were not backward compatible. We had the backward compatible version and it went on the fritz and stopped working. The second PS3 we bought was a fat type as well, but not backward compatible. You will have to be careful and make sure you are buying a backward compatible system.

Great story! It's moments like this that make it all worthwhile. One point though, GM had Force before Ford. Force wanted to expand his team and GM would not give him the funding. Ford did.

Joe, with all due respect, the gas pumps are electronically controlled. If an EMP goes off, the gas pumps will likely be fried too. The Luddites will drive for a few more days or weeks until they run out of gas. Then they will be like everybody else.

Interesting, but the writer never seems to indicate what is causing or why the highway is endangered.

Very nice Steve!

Very nice! A simple but stunning paint scheme.

Great job! I agree with Mark, the weathering is extremely well done.
