Thanks again Mark , good to see someone inspired by this build. the textured ramps are made from diamond plate plastruct sheets. the frame is a modified AMT Ford C600 can't remember if it was a stake truck or Hostess cupcake truck. Just find the longest one made. the complete flatbed and toolboxes are all scratch built from plastruct.

a couple ready for clear and a couple ready for assembly

thanks Mark, here are a few more pics

the sleeper cab is resin cast from e-bay.

part of an 8 Shelby Mustangs project. 2 down 6 to go

finally got this one finished.

this one is from 4 years ago, revived project. trying to get maybe a couple ready for NNL Hollister model show this Saturday. still have 8 in the works with some giving me paint problems. Orange Blossom Special is ready for clear coat and may make it to the show. i hope. Bill

thanks Phil , i used Gravity Colors Sunoco Blue GC-178 over medium gray primer. Bill

thanks for all the positive feedback. the wheels are from the kit but outer ring of wheels were cut off and i used an aftermarket aluminum ring from scale production . tires are not from kit also.

i was building this one along side Sunoco Camaro. But Camaro needs more detail work so this one got finished first.

decals and base coat done and ready for clear coat. Building a box stock ,no mods Corvette along side the Camaro. had to test out Gravity Colors Sunoco Blue. the Fred Caddy decals on the Camaro were by no means fun to put on, but look nice. Bill

the color is Cobra Guardsman Blue Zero Paint #1080 can be hard to get. Gravity Colors makes the same color and can be a little easier to get. Bill

ok,this one goes back a few years. had this one mocked up for a while now and finally got a base coat of color and decals done. now some clear coat and final assembly.

thanks Edgar, i try to get as close as possible to the real car how it raced back in the day. sometimes i don't chose accurate when it looks ugly, like red door panels and red dash pad. i have a really good Racing Camaros book with some great pictures. Also very fortunate to live near 2 race tracks and pictures of the real car can be very helpful.

thanks Anton. engine done and getting ready to prime the body. deciding on what tires and wheels to go with. just picked up a set of mini lite wheels and GoodYear blue steak tires from meanmachinemodels. a newer style goodyear logo but they look really good.
