shafer

next will be a kyle petty 42 magnum

magnum 1978

some updates to the series , what you will see is the 43 magnum almost complete, a number o4 charger wearing Joe Mikmillan's 1978 arca colors. This car is an experiment. if you noticed I did not want to mask that paint scheme on such small scale so using the mcgriff decals as a template, i traced the outlines on old card stock. then I cut the pattern into a template. by using them templates i drew the shapes unto white decal paper, then cut em out, they were then sprayed with the dayglow red and decal aheasive spray and clear coat were applied , i think this worked well enough to use on the petty chargers that will be completed soon.

true, but there was a 43 winged dodge, as a child i went to all of the cup races in martinsville, each goodys 500 had a goodys daytona with 43 on the door. i remember dad saying petty did not race a winged dodge but one was created for publicity. below is the bumper sticker goodys put out which is clearly a dodge

this is the finished version of mcgriff's car

this car is built from a resin reproduction that was molded for me by another member of the forum I have several more to build based on the same body. It is 100% resin, including the tires the mold is based on the starter kits from france

note that this magnum has the segmented opera windows,

i have been working on a 43 magnum, this car so far is being done in scrap decals, the rocket red stripes were cut down from a 1998 slixx stp pontiac paint scheme sheet, stp is from the same sheet, the numbers 43 were an accident, these were misprints from some decals i created for another build, something told me not to toss them out, and i listened to my gut feeling, because they were perfect size for this car, i have the art to finish the car but that is on hold for the moment b/c I am out of ink and decal paper.

43 magnum coming along will post tommorow

thanks , i appreciate the work you put into these

beginnings of a petty magnum

here is the progress on the hershall mcgriff charger

Another member of the board made up these resins for me using 1/43 scale starter petty kits as a template for the mold, he sent me this picture- The 4 dodge magnums and 4 chargers are mine. I recieved them this week and have started cleaning out the bodiesof flashing, as a mater of fact 1 charger is almost complete. This first series will include mcgriff charger04, mcmillian charger 04 and 2 43 chargers, the magnums will be a 43 , 2 42's with a flip flop paint scheme and a 44 arca valvoline magnum, I have incorperated a couple of changes and will post progress by the weekend, btw this is my first time working with resin, lots of sanding and washing. hope you enjoy this thread.

appreciate it

thanks guys

"getten funniest looks from every one we meet ,hey hey we're the monkees...." gr8 looking build

converted this car from gillete everham to a petty ride, involved removing some stipes on the rockers, before during after- love that petty blue stand

This 1984 Pontiac GrandPrix is very crude compared to my other builds. This has happened for a good reason. This kit is an original issue of the Monogram 200 win car. This was the first Petty car I ever built. It was built straight from the box in the molded colors. This kit was built before I was painting them. I built this car in 1986 when I was 15 years old.

assembly is easy- it's just the paint that takes a while

my daughter bought me a 1969 gtx amt kit for fathers day, well it took 3 days to build but i created the 1968 firecracker 400 car, this scheme also ran at nashville that year.This is #94 in my petty build collecton

the finshed product

thanks

magnum 4243 sent me this diecast, plans are to slightly wet sand to referbush some gloss and re clear, i will display this one with hood, trunk, and roof flaps glued it an open position to defrenciate it from the hotwheels version i already own. i have completed it , i just have not photgraphed the finished product yet.

magnum 4243 sent me this, i glued it together even though it is a snap together, some additions include the air brake and wiring lines from the tractor to the trailor, i chose to carve out the center of the top so I can glue 2 1/43 scale petty pontiacs inside for a display, btw i am looking for those if any one has pm me.chrome pinstripe tape completes the trailor dressup
