Great job! This will be a great help if I get around to building one! -
I can't keep from messing with things! I took Tim's (yellowsportswagen) advice and cast the Johan 429 Torino valve covers and detailed the Polar Lights intake. After I cast a set of valve covers I detailed them with bolt heads and pre-drilled the plug holes. I've already built the dry sump oil pan and oil reserve for this project.

Great news on the Buick!! This is the first stock car that I have built in 20 years! The help I have received here has been amazing. Think I'll start fresh on the chassis and use this as a great learning experience.
-
Think I may rebuild the entire chassis! I can use the first one as an example of what not to do! ?
-
Yeah, I'd say lose about half or more!!! At this point I need to rebuild the whole front of the chassis. The engine cage is also to tall!

Sadly upon the final assembly, the engine cage is too tall and will have to be rebuilt. I'll put this on hold and work on the mercury for now?

Hakan, Thank you!!!!

Anyone know the battery location?

That's what I always use!!! Wanted see if I'm just to old school ?

What are all the cool kids using these days to attach their window glass! What types of glues? Gerald

Bill, I find myself in the same boat as you on all cases. I go back to 1964 as a fan and have not bought a Nascar kit since 2000!!

I like it!!!

Using these pix to detail my Boss 429. Are these accurate for the time period? Thanks for the help in advance!!

Thanks! Tried something new to me for my chrome parts. Krylon Premium Metallic Original Chrome. Seems to work pretty darn good.

What would be a good match for Ford engine blue in Testors or Krylon paints?

Not only that but, the NASCAR craze has died off with the cookie cutter cars and rule changes! Well it did for me anyway!! But I'm old so...….

Man, those are some beauties!!
