Lars I have to agree with Dragline you truly create magic!

Yes, those are the ones

Title pretty much sums it up! Let me know or if you have a complete kit tell me what you want for them/it! Thanks, Mel

I’ve got you covered, sorry for the delay, do want just the center caps or do you want to whole wheel as well? p.m. your address and I’ll get them out to you!

Nice clean build not too often seen! Always rooting’ (with one current exception 🤣🤣) for those Va. boys! Well done!

And they say “you can’t make a silk purse from sows ear”, well you definitely succeeded! That’s always been my favorite car, as a 12 year old I finally had a Chevrolet to root for! 😆 Well done Mark.👏🏻👏🏻

Lars I only have one question… “Can we hear it run?!!” Saying any thing that hasn’t been said is truly an understatement! To quote Bob Ueker from the classic movie Major League “You Hit That One Deeeep Over the Wall in Right Field”!

Wow! I’ve been around a long time and seen a lot of rare stuff but never seen or heard about a Baldwin Motion BUICK! Amazing job on a truly rare bird!

Yeah Dave I definitely agree! Always thought they looked “off”, is that correct scale one in your picture from the old AMT or Monogram kits? I’m guessing from looking at it the AMT?

Yeah, nothing like watching an old YouTube video and hearing what a real NASCAR used to sound like! I grew up watching Lennie run Late Models at Southside Speedway not too far from my house!

Thanks for the kind words, I decided to leave the roll cage in the molded in vermillion as well just to set it off a little.

Picked this one up on eBay, was opened complete and at a fair price for a friend of mine. Took a chance on the body which is molded in Vermilion Red and left it unpainted, then added the kit decals. I used one of Clay Kemps tricks I saw on one of his YouTube videos, applied the “Petty Blue” decals, held the body up to a lamp with an older incandescent light bulb to soften the decals, then applied generous coats of “Mark Fit Strong” setting solvent. With a LOT of patience and a lot of solvent the decals actually snugged down with minimal damage. Again, plastic dealer tag was used to cover up some of the ugly sink marks and was also used to close the large gap under the rear of the body!

Built this one box stock for a friend. Added sheet plastic to some of the sink marks on the chassis, added a vintage set of “Cherry Run” Burger King decals, a couple of coats of Future Clear Floor Polish and called it done. For the sheet plastic for the “sink marks” I was a mechanic for 45 years and had saved some of those plastic dealer tags which make great “free” sheet plastic! For the window net I took a small pan of water and got it to a boil on the stove, held it in the center with a pair of long needle nose pliers. As the plastic became pliable I bent the net over enough so that I could push it down on the bottom of the pan with the pliers until it would drape over the window opening.

Sweet ride!

I’m diggin’ all of these in your pics! Love the tracks guard rails!

Beautiful job! Awesome detail work!

I’m pretty sure I have you covered! I’ll p.m. you tomorrow!

Anyone have any Lennie kits to trade? Let me know and what you’d like in return. Seeking more than one! Thanks!

Nice progress so far, can’t wait to see it finished.

Can’t wait for this one too. I’m actually old enough to remember when my neighbor got a new one!
