Actually it was a thick white mat they layed down on the floor but I did not want to go to that much trouble. I'm sure you are right that it was an attempt to cut down on the heat..
-
Yes, the floor is suppose to be white.
-
I got the interior finished. Now on to the frame.
-
I did some more on the interior today.
-
Drew, I remember seeing this model posted in Scale Auto a while back. Awesome job on it. Sure miss reading your column there.
-
Gus, I just sat the seat in there for grins. According to my reference pictures the seats in the kit look nothing like the seat in the real car. I might have to scratchbuild a seat and it will have an upper and lower bolster. The cage is scratchbuilt from 3/32 inch evergreen styrene tubing.
-
The roll cage is finished except for paint and cartograph tape. The tub on this car was much easier than most old 60's kits because I did not have to remove the molded in rear seats that most kits have. I just had to remove the door and quarter panel trim.

Tim, This car represents Foyt's first Nascar win. That's why I wanted to build this model. Thanks for the reply. .
-
Finally finished the engine.
-
Had to add a wingnut to the air cleaner and just starting on the headers.
-
After trying the tubing I decided to go back to the solder.
-
I have decided to use aluminum tubing to do the headers instead of solder. I used the tubing on my latest build, a 37 ford, and it was much easier to work with than the solder.
-
The engine is next. The hardest part is the scratchbuilt air cleaner and soon to be headers.
-
Here are the inkjet decals I came up with. printed on testors paper cleared with testors 1261.
-
I got the body painted. Now i'm trying to scratchbuild an air cleaner for the hemi
-
Yes, Dan. He edged out his team mate Bobby Issac for the win that day.
-
Here is the kit and some of the reference pictures I will use.
-
Go to Randy Ayers board. It is a great place to get information even if it is not such a great place to post your builds.
-
Excellent build.
-
I just had one reference picture to go by so a lot was edjucated guessing.
-
Just finished this one. Revell kit,Testors paint,homemade decals printed on Testors clear paper. PPP tires. Fred Resin shop wheels. Lots of scratchbuilt items. Thanks for looking.
-
To me the wheels and tires on the amt kit seem a little too small and of course the cars no longer have braces on the front splitter. Nascar keeps changing the rules and the model makers cant keep up with them
-
I havent been in here for a while. Its great to see some new posters.
-
Another Excellent build, O. C.
-
Super nice build.
