  1. Neat little build. I had a real one a long time ago. With gas costing what it does, I wish I had one now.
  2. At one time, MCW offered this as a curbside resin with Alps printed decals. Built up nice since it was light colors and black graphics mostly.
  3. Interesting, some of the pictures from the 1970's clearly show a wedge engine in the Roadrunner. Always thought they used hemis in the early 70's.
  4. Like this, one year. 1972 brought STP as a sponsor, so after the first race at Riverside, the car was blue and red. He also started using Dodge Chargers along with the Plymouth that year, but went strictly with the Charger the following year
  5. I'd guess around 400 or so. Half Nascar or street car kits that can be made into one. Pierre, the '62 Bel-Air is one of my favorite kits of all time. Only main gripe is the wheel backs lack of any detail. If you do something with it, please do a thread on it. Always enjoyed your builds.
  6. I'm glad you have a picture, I'm sure there were a few who thought I was crazy when I mentioned that. Really looking forward to future installments on this post.
  7. WOW ! I remember at least one of Petty's 71 Roadrunners having a black and white small checkered pattern fabric for the seat upholstery. Some deal he had with a textile manufacturer. That might be a neat detail to incorporate.
  8. Love to see the Craftsman Trucks being built.
  9. Shark

    Uno Buick.

    I really like that. Who made the decals and did you double them up, the white looks great on that dark blue
  10. Harbor Freight has a pack of small bits for a few dollars.
  11. You might consider Westley's Bleach White tire cleaner. Resin producers recommend soaking parts in it to remove release agent because it won't damage the cast parts like Purple Power. I have used it several times to strip paint.
  12. Very nice, you never had trouble spotting one of his cars at the track.
  13. Sorry for the bad lead. Took me a little while, but I found the sheet. Seems it has everything but the side marker lights.
  14. Can remember exactly what all was on it, but Gofer has a sheet with "goodies" for muscle cars. Spotlight Hobbies has it.
  15. Thanks Randy, I was a little hesitant to get one of these kits, but after seeing yours, I think I will get one.
  16. I like the way it turned out, modifications look good. Where was the article by Drew that you mentioned?
  17. I have used a red Sharpie before to make red walls out of white walls
  18. That would make a cool Darlington throwback
  19. Whoever you were thinking of buying them from should be able to tell you. I can't remember who it was, but at least one vendor had a cross reference chart. Maybe someone will see this and know who it was.
  20. You are right, never really noticed that. I guess I was so used to seeing the old MPC Petty kits that were very stock and not "fudged" as they would say.
  21. Interesting, what are you planning to use for screen on the grill. I always thought that was an area for improvement, but didn't know what to do. That was always the baddest looking Regal in Nascar
  22. Look at wire ferrules, there are some that look exactly like velocity stacks. That's what some of the aftermarket vendors are using.
  23. Hartsparts may have some of the parts you need.
  24. Sam Lopez at 3 Amigos.
  25. I will by some, appreciate them getting involved. My two cents: the nose looks a little long, especially the area between the hood and bumper.
