  1. I had them made for me
  2. This is thr beginnings of George Geisen's USAC Superbee. It has a MPC 70 nose grafted to a 68 resin rear. A resin pitchfork hood too. Lots to do on the chassis yet but I think the body looks good so far.
  3. Here is my Gurney tribute
  4. Dave can you shoot me a pm I need your address. I lost it in the Ayers crash.
  5. other stuff has gotten in the way I've done a little on it though. I've even working on my 1:1 Montego GT. I'll post some pictures tonight.
  6. I just cut a long triangle strip of styrene and curve it to the shape of the wheel well I'm doing.Then glue it with the middle point of the triangle at the top of the wheel well. This gives the flare some slant to it. Then I rough up the area with 220 and putty with evercoat 2 part glazing putty. I never use any Tamiya or Squadron puttties. They always shrink.I bought this model used if you see the green putty on the deck lid it was removed and replaced with evercoat. Hope this helps. Tim
  7. Dave I can't take much credit for the cage most of it is a MPC NASCAR out of my parts bin. I just added a couple of bars here and there. Thanks for the compliments guys. Tim
  8. Nice job Mark This is a sharp looking car.
  9. Tonys 72 Chevelle Amt 72 Chevelle kit modified MPC cage and underhood bars.Opened wheelwells flared them to match photo of car. Bandit resin flat hood spare parts seat.Cut fuel cell from Mpc Nascar chassis.PPP wheels and tires. Scratch built spoilers and overflows on qtr panels. Decals by Dave Van.
  10. It would look more like my GTO under neath. H&M frt welded to stock rails with truck arms added in back. All this is speculation however because I've never seen pictures of the cars suspension. This was standard practice for GM and Ford cars from the era.
  11. No the chassis in my GTO was built by Nichels but was built with a Holman Moody frt clip welded to a GM frame with long truck arm rear suspension. The cage was kind of a cross between a Nichels design and a Holman Moody design. In those years the car had to run the same springs design as the factory car used. If it had coils in the frt and leafs in the rear that's how the race car had to be.
  12. Those both look to be Nichels built Chrysler chassis. The stripped down one looks newer.
  13. Painted awaiting decals
  14. Here it is body ready for paint and on wheels
  15. Hard to find took me 30 years to find a good one.
  16. All I have to says is. You my friend are really good at this model building thing!!
  17. This is cool I'm watching this one. Go man go!
  18. This will be on wheels tomorrow.
  19. Next is to stretch a Thunderbird chassis. A small notch must be made in the frame to locate the firewall the same distance forward as the chassis was stretched.
  20. First things first is to make the wheelwells look like the real car by adding some small flares.i also removed all the old primer.Lastly primed and modified the rear of the frt wheel opening to look like the picture.
  21. I bought the body awhile ago but couldn't find the old Cherry Run Decals anywhere. I just had a set of decals custom made because this is my favorite stock car ever. Let alone it is a Montego GT one of my favorite cars ever.
  22. i will resize some more pictures and post them tomorrow.
  23. This is a old Bandit Resin Montego GT that I'm going to do as Dicks Puro racing car from the 1975 Daytona 500.
