Great build! Definitely on my bucket list to build

Hello, I am looking for detailing tips for the JR Salvino’s Next Gen NASCAR kits. I have been building on and off for several years and am familiar with the older style cars. I would like to know what details you guys like to add and how to add them. I like detailing engines some but I know the engine is hard to see in this kit. I have still added plug wires and boots. I am also likely plumbing oil lines in the engine. How do you guys add oil lines to the chassis? What other chassis details do you like to add? For the interior, I’ve seen one guy recently made a switch box and I like that idea. Does anyone have a template for the dash cover to make from sheet styrene? What other interior details do you all add? Any other general Next Gen tips appreciated too! Thanks Again

Love this build! One of my absolute favorite cars!

Building the ‘73 Petty Charger and was looking for info on Hemi engine colors? Was the block dark blue or light blue? Were the heads the same color? I assume the valve covers were flat black? What about headers? White or natural steel? Any under-hood pics for engine bay plumbing/wiring? Any other tips appreciated.

Fantastic build! Don’t know which is more impressive, the model building or the photography?!?

Mark, I’d love to see what you’ve come up with for the body-to-chassis problem. I totally agree that I’d like to be able to see all of my work that’s buried in there!

Found these paper clips and cut the vinyl coating off in little sections to make plug boots and coil pack boots

That’s a great tip! I may have to give that a try.

Got a little work done on the engine. Wired up the coil packs and plug wires. Cut black insulation off paper clip for boots. Worked well.

So I was excited to receive the Salvino’s Petty 1973 Charger kit. When I opened it, I noticed that is did not include the decals for the STP red parts of the body. I saw I can buy the decals and was wondering if this is a better route than masking and painting it? Do the decals lay down well? I don’t want to use the vinyl stickers because I think they won’t look right. Any tips or expedite with this issue appreciated. Thanks, Jed

I was able to attend my first model car show and I was really impressed by the quality and diversity of the talent on display. The host club, ACME, did a great job with the event. Really enjoyed meeting Clay Kemp and Jay Savarese as I’m a big NASCAR fan.

Does anyone have any recent reference pics of Cup engines? I’m building a Salvino’s Next Gen and would like some engine pics for painting and wiring. Specifically, what color are Chevy oil pans? What is the current Hendrick valve cover logo? What do the headers look like; are they wrapped or bare metal? Any help appreciated.

Been tinkering with one of the new JR Salvino’s Next Gen Camaro. I’ll try to post more pics as I have them. Just getting started messing around with my first decent airbrush, a Badger 155. Tried my hand at heat-stained headers and didn’t turn out terrible for my first attempt. Ordered the Power Slide Engine Goodies decals from Mikes.
