I think you're on Route 66! Lol! That is sharp!

I wish it was! I came across some Heating & Insulation duct tape that had the chrome foil on it from a friend, thinking , " Hey! this might come in handy with model building!". Once you peel the wax like backing paper off, that stuff would stick to anything. So you had one shot to get it in the right spot. A lot of time the right spot was the exacto blade or handle, which ever finger I used to get it off the other finger or any area that it was not intended to go. Pulling it off was like pulling the Excaliber sword from the stone if you weren't King Arthur, Needless to say the first and last time of use!

Actually it's the AMT 70 Monte Carlo. Used the chassis and suspension (though probably not correct, I believe truck trailing arms were the possibly the rear make up), a donated roll cage assembly out of another AMT nascar kit, the M/C kit engine, fabbed the front engine hoop, Monogram solid nascar tires and Super Stocker rims with Yesterday's decals. It was built a few years ago and "dragged" it out when going through stored away builds. I've built B. Allison's Coke #12, Fred Lorezen's Lemon Tree #28 and Donnie Allison's North Gas #27 with the same set up.

Back this past summer I purchased a SMH resin firebird T/A and a formula hood. Used the Smokey and the Bandit 77 T/Am for the donor, filled in the frt fender side vents, used the AMY parts pack white letter F-60 polyglas and borrowed the Honeycomb rims out of the AMT 75 Dodge Dart for period correct rims. Enjoy Chuck!

Awesome....definitely could see that rolling down the highway in the day!

A-1 and sharp. Be careful, Dr. Oldsmobile has been working in the lab.........http://www.inlinetube.com/articles/OLDSPAGE02.htm

Great kit to build and a great looking build! Looks like you just drove it off the car lot!

Bandit Resins does carry them....bought one earlier from a swap meet in NC this year.. Can't seem to post a pic of it mounted on a 75 Duster at the moment.

On the above photo.........Gentlemen, get your two tone paint scheme and BMF and let the posting begin!

It's a pure joy to see the 50/60's builds of yours. Definitely would love to have them on my shelf! Don't let up!

Got two Gran Torino (Johan- Stock) awaiting, but definite would like to have a 75 Torino (not particularly the S & H version) in my collection. The two left over 75 Torinos might make a good NASCAR/Short Track Builds.

The Mopar Gods approve of your styrene intervention.

Driving for Junie Dunleavey ( whom passed this summer ) for the 1970 season, winning the Rookie of the Year honors and winning the Permatex 300 three consecutive time (72-73-74). A Terry Barton resin of the 68/69 "W" nose Mercury Cyclone. The decals #'s and quarter panel sponsors come from the MK decal sheets while the rear panel are dry transfer. With several projects going on, the chassis will come shortly since the painting of the hood scallops were the hardest part of the scheme. One more bonus................

Purchased two resin Coronet from Southern Motorsports back this July and finally got around to finishing one. Covered in MM Tropical Turquoise, Spazstix Mirror Chrome on the grill/bumpers, A 440 A/t from a AMT 71 Charger and the hubcaps from the Revell 68 Charger mounted on the AMT Goodyear polyglass L-60's. I used the AMT 70 Dodge SuperBee chassis/interior tub as a donor. The second Coronet is still undecided. I just recently acquired a original 68 Coronet chassis and interior tub missing one front seat and probably might just use that to build a curbside shelfer or might go early (70's) Nascar on it. A definite must have if you are a Mopar fan and a great addition to the collection. Thanks for looking...Chuck!

I think me and Robert has seen this 'Runner" dustin' up them Carolina backroads. Now open that thar trunk and let me purchase two or three Mason jars! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdwUpxkfSJw

At your local hobby/arts crafts store should have a section with acrylic/enamel felt tip pens for drawing or painting. I use a fine tip water base acrylic paint pen to do my raised lettering in white. Most times I get a one coat coverage with little or no bleed over the raised letter. If I do, a trip to the sink or wet paper towel to wipe off and try, try again. If an acrylic ink pen is unavailable you should be able to find any small bottle or jar of white/yellow acrylic water based paint. Use a toothpick, I usually sharpened mine to a finer point (before I started using the pen), dab a little onto the toothpick and go to lettering. Acrylic water based paint will work better the enamel or other. With enamel or other the paint will react with the rubber tire and never dry/cure leaving the possibility of smearing/smudging and making a general mess. The acrylic will dry shortly after application and then you can "paint" the tire sidewall with a acrylic (water base) flat clear to tone down the tire/letter shine. It's worked for me and I hope this helps....Chuck

Would love to see the thumbnail pics but your Zoosk ad pretty much blots out the Dart

The track is actually a remnant of a old TV stand the was up in my garage. The stand width is about 48" long and 16" wide and basically pressboard. I used some dark/med grey stone textured spray for the rough surface. Use some flat black to mist a couple of coats or give an uneven coloration in different areas to resemble asphalt fade. I taped off and spray flat white for the lane stripes and used a 2" x 3/4" strip for the retaining wall. I painted the wall white, added some tire scuffing by taking a tire mounted on a backing rim with a metal axle, smearing it in some flat black paint and rotating the wheel assembly down the retaining wall. Apply heavy for initial tire contact to light/fade upon coming off from sideswiping the wall. Plan to add either track name or add some color scrapes in addition to some background billboards. Also to give the effect of different sections of the track, paint the backside of the retaining wall, either leaving clean or adding different enhancements to simulate different points/areas of racing around the track........hope that helps!
