Awesome build. The best I've seen done using this kit.

Its the amt Richard Petty 1989 Pontiac nascar kit built box stock. No I did not do any body mods to it. I built a 1995 Ward Burton Grand Prix that I had to elongate the front but not this one.

Bob won the Arca championship in a car some what like this one.

Jimmie, I did not know there was a Herb Thomas kit. I built mine from an amt 55 chevy bel air kit

Beats me. It seems like it would be a lot of work routing them through there. Hosted on Fotki

I did. They are inkjet decals printed on testors paper. One was a white sheet for the contengecies and the other was a clear sheet for the numbers and letters such as Herb's name and the items on the hood and trunk and front fenders. The white stripes for the numbers were slivers cut from the leftover white decal sheet. Those were very painstaking. The only sheets I could find to purchase had the wrong colors for the items on the roof, hood and front fenders and the quarterpanel chevrolet decals were also wrong. I guess whoever made the decals for those sheets used the museum car as their guide to what the colors should be. I found color pictures of the real car to make mine.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the replys.

No, just the kit and some scratchbuilt parts from evergreen styrene.

Thanks Brett but it looks like my bandwidth is already back. I will go fix my fotki though. thanks for the info.

Excellent build. Super clean.

I did. But when you post your pics from Fotki they are pretty small. I'll just wait for a while to see if they come back.

Out of bandwidth? Anybody know how to get it back without paying for it?

They are scratchbuilt from styrene sheet and rod and the pins are made from 32 guage wire.

Tamiya paint. Tires and wheels are Plastic Performance Products

Used the Revell Sox & Martin kit.

Thanks guys.

Super nice build.

Thanks guys. I appreciate the replys. Tiger is now in possesion of this build.

No, but he got 4 poles in 1966 running against factory Hemi Dodges and Plymouths. Pretty good for an independent running a 2 year old car.

Thanks guys.
