I think you have done a great job on this. You are probably the only one who sees your mistakes, I sure don't! Great looking piece!

Another beauty!

Excellent looking models! I have always thought these were great looking cars, both street and track. Very nice job!

Beautiful model and great photography to capture it!

Usually after the completion of every build, I will do a deep clean of my bench and my supplies. I put all of my tools back where they go. I do a check of my supplies; am I almost out of glue, certain paint colors, misc. supplies, etc.? I clean up all of the bits of sprue and sanding dust, stuff like that. For me, it is a good feeling to have a clean bench. Good luck on your next build!

I think you did one heck of a nice job, Chris! We are our own worst critic. Trust me, you will just keep getting better and better. Again, Chris, great looking model!

Great stuff! Thanks, James, for posting all of this.

Great model of a great car!

I picked this up the other day from a friend. Came with a book, paint and some after market items.

I believe this is the first time I've seen a model of this car. I really like it. You did such a nice job on it. Great work!

Wow!! Beautiful model! I'm with everyone else, such a great color. It looks right on this car. Great job!

Great looking model!! I have always liked this livery and remember when he ran it. Nice, nice, nice!!

Darn fine work there, Mike!

Love it!! It looks like you did an outstanding job on this one. I personally love doing decals. They certainly can be a challenge. How was this one as far as the decals fitting and settling down?

Gorgeous looking model! Looks great from all angles. Nicely done!

There is a radiator in the kit, kind of, but it is not very detailed. Take your time and think out how to do the roof. I glued mine on and fixed the horrible fitment issue. I then cut out the cab floor and put the interior side panels in through the bottom. I then glued the cut out floor piece back in. Good luck on your build!

I agree with you about the rear tires. I just used what was in the kit as this was going to be a quick build. You would need much wider tires to accurately replicate the real car.

This was meant to be a quick build. It turned out that it took a little longer than I had planned. The frame was badly twisted. There is a lot of flash on the chrome pieces. The biggest problem was the fit of the roof piece to the cab. It just doesn't fit. Look at other built examples of this kit and you will see what I mean. I spent a lot of time getting the roof to look right. Lots of filling and filing. Here is the kit that I used. Here is the final result.

Hobby Express and Auto Models LLC are both great. Hobby Express has tons of goodies. I can spend hours in there. I have spent a gazillion dollars with John at Auto Models. There is nowhere, that I have found, with better prices than John. One word of caution. Check with John at Auto Models before going to his store. He goes to a lot of contests as a vendor and his store hours are hit and miss sometimes.

Nice NASCAR, Bruce. This was a popular livery. You've done a great job on this one/

Yes, yes, yes!! Back when I knew who was driving what. Great looking model!

I remember Steve but I don't remember this car. Great looking model!

Niiiccceee!

I've said this many time on several forums, I love your work, John. I don't comment near enough because I'm running out of superlatives for your models!

Beautiful!
