    If Ronnie was alive he would certainly be amazed and humbled at the work you and others have been doing lately on this forum.

    Good product. After it dries, you need to trim close to the decal as this creates a clear film.

    You can delete this response if you want. I really like it like it is and appreciate everyone's effort who is involved. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    You might try this. There is a hobby shop in Sanford, NC called Wings, Wheels and Waves. He does mail-order as MCW, selling paint and resin. He has scale pin stripe in his store. He might sell it thru mail order if you call or email him.

    You beat me to it, I was going to make some kind of Tucker comment. I think it looks cool

    I love it. I had a Chevette one time, probably the most dependable car I owned. Actually be looking at Craigslist and other places for one. I have a Chevy 4.3 V6 engine and think that would make a neat little swap.

    Like Ace mentioned, I would go to the extra effort to pin them.

    Hate to say it, but there's a lot of unethical people preying on model builders. I have never trusted sealed older collectible kits. If I consider one, I tell the seller that it will be opened in front of him and my money returned if it is not as advertised. I am a builder, so sealed kits don't have an attraction to me.

    Don't know if this is a help, but MCW is doing small jars of enamels now, has engine specific, metals and even a tinted carburetor color.

    That's really nice

    Excellent build up of that historic car. You amaze me being half a world away from stock car country, but the desire that you have to create these models.

    Don't know too many kids that could have pulled that off.

    I always liked that car with the chrome cragers front and back. Just looks cleaner.

    Been following along and hope to start my build in the near future (Terry Labonte Stratagraph car). I understand all you did except the area at the top of the firewall to the dash face. Could you explain your modifications, maybe save me some headaches.

    Looks real good. Back in the day when the bodies were mostly factory, didn't change sponsor and paint schemes every week. The good old days of stock car racing.

    Zero humidity, what's that. Here in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, I would like to have a day without rain. Back to the models. The kit decals on the Leal car look like they did real good, aftermarket quality.

    For a tag, go to ACME plate maker and personalize and print your own.

    Canucks 3D has a nice replacement grill to replace the crappy one in the kit if you want to go that route.

    The Demon chassis has the tail end of the transmission molded in it, so you would need to remove it. Why not just use the Duster's chassis underneath it, it is much better and I know others have done it

    STS Decals, but I know he is backed up right now, worth the wait.

    For nice injector stack, find some wire ferrules. Come in a lot of sizes and lengths. You can order them from McMaster-Carr.

    I don't drink, but facing the task of that decaling might make me take it up. You did an excellent job on that one.
  23. Shark
    I'm kind of scratching my head on that on too. Can remember which forum it was, maybe Randy Ayers old one, but someone was trying to figure out a decal that looked similar. May have been some type of oil additive, can't remember.

    I think that panel under the injectors was a short lived experiment. Seen several photos of the hood with a hole in the scoop and the injectors nearly flush with the top of it. I believe you said one time about these cars changing all the time.
  25. Shark
    I bet that thing was a handful to drive.
