Glad to see some early Nascar Bow Ties'. Very rare to see them from the early day of real racing.

There's only one small problem that I see........It's not on my shelf! That is A Winner's Circle build!

I bet you still crack a smile when you see it on the shelf with the rest of your collection. Looks good in the photos and even as far away as North Carolina!

Could have sworn that car actually sat on the Chevolet Dealers' lot. Sharp build!

You don't need to do another thing.....It's perfect!

With 5 "projects" going on at the same time and getting a little frustrated with each one at some point , I decided to take a different route....a simple one tone paint scheme, nothing fancy. Sometime back I had seen a photo of Al and Richard lined up together on pit road of Daytona for a photo op and wanted to do Al's ride, but like everything else something always takes over it gets pushed back. A Revell 68 Charger graces the Testors' Bright Red paint with decals from Southern Motorsport Hobbies (? on the maker). Inner fender wells removed and an front hoop fabricated, driver seat from the kit has an side bolster with the head rest made from an drinking straw capped at the ends, the frt/rear bumper guards removed and rechromed with SpazStix Ultimate Mirror Chrome #10009 spray and PPP rims. Unser qualified 8th at the 68 Daytona and finished 4th being the last car on the lead lap while Cale took the Checked followed by Lee Roy Yarborough and Bobby Allison

Most of the time you see a car on cider blocks after it been stripped, but in the last two pics all they left was the interior! That one Clean looking Vette !

with the addition of the shock towers greatly improves and enhances the engine compartment overall. Both the 66 Fairlane and 67 Cyclone kits are a joy to build. Great job!

You never go wrong with a Mopar.....unless you post a Dodge Omni/Horizion or Dodge Aries, Reliant....and that looks Right On!

Excellent job. Those big boys didn't just "drive" down the road, they "owned" both lanes

LOL....Just my luck! A day late and a dollar ( with adjusted inflation $1.50) short. Betcha He was a happy camper!

If by chance that fella doesn't make it to your house to claim his "vehicle in question", just shoot me a PM. There's plenty of room on my shelf for that Poncho! Swell lookin build!

Black and White Firebirds I remember seeing most of the time and an occasional red here and there, but a gold Firebird was a treat for the eyes. Sharp looking !

Definitely got that 70's vibe! You sure you wasn't Stateside when those cars were on the road? Great job on all! Being in High School around that time and taking Auto shop, there was always one kid who drove one that had a V-8 compared to several others that were 4 bangers. The V-8 Mustangs were fairly quick but were noisy and clunky in changing gears (auto). 4 cyls were way underpowered. Leaking oil from a 4 cyl valve cover was the only saving grace that kept the engine from rusting & seizing from the outside . I dated a girl that had a Monza 5.0 5 speed M/T and with her driving she put to shame any Z/28 or T/Am. Took a trip with her for a wedding in SC and back home and that Monza got 32mpg! Figured it three times...same 32 mpg. Great power and gas mileage. The Vega...with the aluminum 4 cyl you never worried about having to change the oil or filter. If it didn't leak oil, it certainly burned it out the tailpipe. Thus having to add fresh oil (sometimes daily) the crankcase oil never got dirty or black. It was cheaper to put gas in it than it was to put in oil! Great job on all three and thanks for letting me share some good memories down on Memory Lane

Ya did good! Good to see a classic done right!

How many time while listening to the broadcast of a Nascar race on the radio did you all of a sudden catch your breath and key on every word the annoucer said from then on. Old color photos were recently found at a yard sale that provided a visual to one such incident in Turn Two. "Looks like trouble off Turn 2 with the #98 of Leeroy Yarborough hitting the wall and spinning down into the grass. Flagmen in Turn 2 report hearing the left front tire blowing out from debris and Yarborough's Mercury slamming the wall, apparently rupturing the oil lines and spinning wildly down the backstretch tagging the wall again before coming to a rest on the lower apron of the track......Leeroy is climbing out of the Jim Robbins Cyclone and walking to the infield wall as the oil-splattered Mercury is still smoking, seems to be a small fire developing as the Yellow Flag is out and the leaders are headed to Pit road...... [/url Without the Smoke and Mirrors....... I had the body laying around while I used the chassis as a test fit subject for other future projects. While everybody enjoys seeing a clean rolled off the starting line build, I thought it would be different to see a "fresh run into the wall" wreck . Thanks for looking!.......and now back to the race....

Great build .......It definitely cranks up and rumbles Attitude. Feel sorry for the road crew that has to repair the road after those rear tires hook up!

The Do dah man says "Cooooool Daddio...Keep on Trucking!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuyaK0hGxWk

Need to do the #43 and recreate the photo, otherwise it looks like a Checkered Flag Winner!

There's enuff lettering all up and down the side of that car to keep TWO sign painter's busy right up to race day. Sharp ride!

Looks like a Pole Sitter for Friday nite! Sharp looking Build!

Excellent job and definitely woundn't mind having it on my shelf.

Missing Link 70 Charger + MM 1843M Star Spangled Blue = Would/Will definitely buy any product from Missing Link. So glad they give you the option of base/ R/T version. By using the Revell Charger kit for a donor, you get a better detail chassis and interior than if you were using the AMT Charger. A Difference of Night and Day between the two! Chuck

Straight OOB build of P/L kits with Yesterday's decals.

Betcha if you turn the ignition key and rev up that Hemi, we could probably hear the rumble here on the East Coast! Super Sharp!
