This will be a quickie build using kit decals. I believe Dave Van did the artwork for these. It’s on my usual TBird chassis. Wheels won’t be red. (Thank God)

Cool I should have bulged the wheelwells on mine when I did it.

I build early cars that graphics were mostly painted aside from contingencies. I also have a lot of custom Alps decals made. They scratch very easy. I like the look and protection clear provides. Aside from that real race cars don’t use water slide decals either. Some decals will discolor and or peel up even if applied properly. I don’t have to worry about it. That why I would want to do it.

Looking Good man. Need to lose the cowl induction hood scoop.

I’ve had some like that. Get a new sheet.

Which baremetal you have? I’ve found the ultra bright chrome doesn’t stick well. If it’s old sometimes it doesn’t work so good either

Only a few things left to do now.

I really really like this!!!

That looks really good man

It was tight if I remember right.

That car was the former Lennie Pond Cutlass . It had that color inside when Pond had it. That was the 79 season car. The 80 Daytona winner had a silver interior and chassis

I used the Salvinos engine with the trans from a TBird kit.

Some more progress

This picture and my model are from the National 500. I liked the Gaddy Motor co. Sponsor the best. Only on the car for this race.

Trust me looks better in pictures.

I honestly don’t know what brand they are. I think they may be real old. They look nice but don’t want to stick down. It took two sets to get it done. I’m not a real complainer but they aren’t very good.

Ugh those things!!

A little more done

It’s the cage out of the AMT TBird that the frt clip and rear suspension came from. It has to be narrowed to fit. I also shortened the height and rebuilt the main hoop and added some stuff.

Got the dash board made and chassis pretty much complete.

Electronic ignition modules. If you have a Polar Lights Charger laying around there is a set in that kit

That’s what I thought. That looks good now.

So is that the one pictured with mods. Or is the photo a scratchbuilt one

It spends on the car. On this car the opening was already there. I just made the bottom of it flat like it should be in Juniors Monte Carlos. Look how the filler was on this car
