Another beautiful build from your bench O.C.

The rivets are painted using the tip of a toothpick sharpened to a very fine point. I also used aluminum metallizer paint because it flows and drys quickly.

Bruce, the body is the Powerslide 2013 Chevy SS resin body purchased from Mike's decals. I also purchased the 2007 Revell Jeff Gordon donor kit from Mike to use to make the chassis. If I had known that the Revell Gen 6 ford snap kit was coming out in September when I started this build back in March I probably would not have bothered to build this model. Hopefully they will also do a Chevy and Toyota.

This was the car he won the 1958 Southern 500 in.

Excellent build. Details are amazing.

Yes I was able to save it.

Here are the finished wheels and tires. The ppp tires and wheels are just too big for this model. makes it look like an off road vehicle.

Maxx, I used the kit wheels and tires but changed the wheels from 5 lug to 6 lug.

Had an accident with this one. walking by the display case lost my balance fell into it and knocked it to the floor. Body came apart from the frame, Was able to save it.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the replies

Mike I used the chassis that came with the Sox and Martin kit . I'm not in to using 1990's chassis on 1960's cars like some people like to do.

Norman, here is that picture of the Petty hemi I was talking about. Its a very light blue not petty blue.

Excellent build. What kit did you use?

Excellent. As always your paint jobs are probably the best in the hobby.

All of them are excellent builds as usual. I'm happy to say that Brad will be driving an MGD look a like car this year. Saw pictures of it on twitter.

Does anyone have a picture of the instrument panel of a 2015 Hendrick racing chevy ss? Gordon, Johnson, Earnhardt jr., or kahne. They should all be the same.

Finally found out how to link my fotki to this site instead of having to download pictures directly from my computer. Hosted on Fotki

This is a better picture I took with my camera of an image on my tv that I will use to make an old chassis fit a 2013 Chevyy ss resin body. Hopefully Hosted on Fotki

Steve, if you could give me a step by step on how to get to the "compatibility view" maybe I can fix this. This windows 8 makes everything very hard to work. The old windows xp I had was much more user friendly. Microsoft decided to stop supporting it so I was forced to buy a new computer with 8 on it.
