The modified stocker grille (bottom) is missing the Chevrolet Impala SS emblem, licence plate and guards, lens pattern and grille elements compared to the annual grille above.

Looks great! Maybe add some figures?

I agree with you completely. It is particularly dismaying to find sad news about old friends and acquaintances listed amongst news about various D-grade "celebrities", comedy bits and random rants. A slot car forum I belong to has such a topic for its members called The Eternal Podium. May I suggest Forever Luminaries as a possible title?

It might be of some use to those of us who also race slot cars and need help getting body choice and mounting angle and position suitable for a specific track.

If you can't find the resin kit you want, consider getting the injection-molded 1/24 plastic slotcar body kit made by BRM. They are available from https://www.132slotcar.us for $55 . Includes a driver figure, but no decals. Has flared body and correct racing details.

MPC 75-77 Pontiac Ventura/Sprint?

Smooth and slick!

Try an automatic, spring-loaded center punch to make your hail divot first. Enlarge with a drill bit after if desired.

That's an MPC '66 Mustang you've got there, Vamach1, based on the custom taillights, teardrop hood, front tires and off-white plastic color

To serve man

Excellent! Very realistic!

I know this decal has already been identified for you on the Randy Ayers Nascar board, so I will post this slightly different version of the product here from a posting on ebay:

Beautiful artwork Mark, and welcome to the forum! Now how about showing us some of those original JoHan kit illustrations you once posted on Slotblog?

And there was also the AMT '64 Chevy El Camino

How about some pics? Is it as detailed as Tamiya's 1/12 version?

Certainly an Uncertain-"T"

I think you've earned yourself a new nickname with this build, Gareth: the "Artful Bodger" !! LOL (and I hope you know I mean that as a compliment!)

Don't forget to check out this thread about the '63 TBird Italien coupe for another roof possibility:
