Excellent as always , John

What chassis will you use?

Very neat concept. If they built a model of a Tahoe , I always wanted to make one into a cup car. Well I guess thats like doing a nascar truck without the bed, but with back doors and a 3rd seat covered area by an extended roof all the way to the back.

Beautiful build but I'm a little confused about the Bobby Allison livery. Did this model start as a Donnie car and you finished it as a Bobby car. Maybe I missed something in the write up for the build. Again, very nice build.

12 hour build. That would take me at least a month to build and would not look near as good as yours. But that's not unusual. All of your builds are off the chart beautiful. Especially the paint.

Nice job, Tony. I'm impressed by your smooth and steady work in the video.

Nice work, Johnny.

Good choice re-shooting with the Model Masters. Looks Awesome..

Oh yes, very nice and clean.

Naah, that's ok. If its not my thread, I shouldn't be posting pictures here.

Google it. There is a picture of a red 87 and 93 trans am pace car. Just looks like a bright red, not metallic.

Sounds like a cool idea for a build, but I haven't got a clue. Have you googled it?

Check your personal messages. I didn't want to hijack your thread with pictures. I sent you a picture of the 58 I did a couple of years ago.

Glad to see that the hood does fit flush. I was worried in some of the previous pictures. Looking forward to the official final pictures.

There is a ton of chrome on that 58. It took me forever to get it off. But I think I had to salvage some of it to turn it into a Delray.

Almost done? Whats left to do? And by the way , it looks Awesome . You are the master of rear bumper fairing.

I find cutting and then side scraping with a #11 exacto blade to get the chrome trim of the body is good. It does less damage and you don have to use putty to fix any damage. It takes longer then a grinder but the time you save not puttying and sanding the putty smooth makes up for it.

Looks like a great start. You've got 2 58 Chevy's working there. Who is the other driver? If I tried to build more then one model at a time my head would explode.

Thanks guys, for all the nice comments.

Not even finished and its already the best I have ever seen of that car. Awesome work as always.

My wife and I were watching GMA this morning to see what Junior was doing on the program. My wife said, why don't you tweet Junior some pictures of your latest build. I told her the tweet would probably never get to him so it would be a waste of time trying. She insisted, so I tweeted him two shots of the model with a little description of what it was. I couldn't believe it but he actually got the tweet and replied to me. That's was pretty cool. But that's Junior. He'll talk to anyone on twitter if he can.

This should be very nice.

Here is a bigger picture of the Firecracker 400 car.

Here is a color picture of the World 600 car. One decal I did forget is the jack placement decal below the door number

I had to make all the decals for this one, and luckily it is a white car. 2 of the decals I had never seen before and took me a while to figure them out .If you look at the World 600 car below the first one is the one closest to the window opening on the b pillar. It is so small in reference pictures that it was hard to figure out. Turned out it was the "World 600 underdog decal". I know nothing of the story behind it, but I guess it was given to the cars that had less of a chance of winning. I don't know if the best finisher in this group of cars was given a bonus but maybe that is why they were given out. Also if you look on the front fender at the front of the wheel opening at the top there is a decal there that is not very common. Tim tried to help me figure it out, but I finally had to go to twitter and ask Don Smyle of Smyle Media if he knew what it was. Don is a famous Nascar photographer who tweets his pictures all the time on twitter. Turns out, he owns an original picture of the car that was of a higher resolution (below is that picture ) and he tweeted me a picture of the decal that was clear. It was "Morse Cutting Tools" So I was able to make that decal as well. It always bugs me if I cant figure out all the decals on a build.
