I like the slight weathering on it Dustin...nice work !

Nice clean build George..I like the stance you got out of that old kit. Paint and finish look great!

Dude, me too..been waiting 12 weeks on STS decals to give me at least a proof of the decals...😑

What kind of paint is it on? I would say isopropyl alcohol if it's not on acrylic paint, otherwise WD40 works well taking goo off..but try it on a like painted surface first.

Thanks Mark ! and again thanks for sending the screen Glad you like it Jack The sun came out so got some sunshine pics

After alot of body and bumper mods, I'm calling this one complete Wanted to thank Mark @Mark W for sending me the fine mesh you see on the front grille, as well as the many visitors to the WIP with comments and suggestions about the build. The WIP https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/forum/32-wip-nascar/ Being my first Salvinos build, the learning curve was steep, but not impossible,... I would build another. Most of the extra work involved getting the body into a shape that more resembled the actual car. Thanks for looking in,.. questions, comments, and critiques always welcomed. Cheers

I ended up using the Salvinos suspension all around, cause I wasn't used to these kits and didn't want any more work than I already had...lol Anyway, big shout out to Mark @Mark W for sending me some of the finest mesh I've seen, to complete the front end And with that done, it's off to 'Under Glass'. Cheers

I found out that the fire wall needs to sit in front of the locator tab inside the body behind the front wheel openings. That helped alot...

Incredible, when I saw that tiny piece of brass on your fingertip I said..hes not... and then, yep frost plugs. Really enjoying watching your progress Francis...amazing work

Looks really good Jim !

Nice work Nick

It's not that bad a kit, really...just needs alot of touching..I pretend I'm building a Pocher kit...lol Decided to replace this 2" thick spoiler with some sheet aluminium Drilled out the lower rail and installed Detail Master bolts Better More soon I hope

Scroll to the bottom of the page LOTS of detail pics

What Bob said...likin' the looks of that pistol grip Mark, and the lid on the paint cup is boss ! I don't know if you had found this yet or not...it popped up on my news feed...probably said Monte Carlo a few too many times working on Donnie's... https://motorsportsmarket.com/racecars/1971-chevy-monte-carlo-nascar-grand-national-stock-car/ I know it's a refurbished car, but there are original details in there. Looks like your about to start painting...I always leave the painting until I nail the stance. Cheers

I'm in..should be a fun watch Joe,..I haven't built a tank in ohhh .....50 some odd years.... can't go wrong with a Tamiya tho Cheers

Thanks guys I used Tamiya clear blue, red, orange and yellow individually, thru the air brush... wish I would have brought the blue down a bit more, but oh well...Oh and guess what colour you get if you mix Tamiya clear red and blue together..? that's right BLACK....lol Cheers

Nice ! I like the blue !

We are our own worst critics...I think it came out GREAT! Love the interior shot.

You've been a busy guy Jim..those both look great !

Really well done Jim..and I hear you on the Salvinos kits being on a steep learning curve. I'm working one of their Monte Carlos right now, and it's been a bit of a struggle. You did a great job on this one, decals and finish look fantastic!

Well I gathered up all my courage and got the body stretched over the chassis without popping the glass...whew And, of course the air cleaner sits too high...so more surgery Bumpers fit just fine Q. C. + C.s welcome Later

Very nice Pierre !...Like Chuck said ^^ the salt flat pics are an awesome background to your build. Hard to say it's a nice clean build with all the rust, but..it is !! Well done (2thumsup)

Interesting

Cool My Dad had one of those back in '84..little go box, until winter showed up..the starter was the lowest component on the engine...Ontario winters...No For Christmas I got him Ontario vanity plates... COY TOY Remember that cramped interior too...might want to dullcoat that.. Nicely done...thanks for the memories
