Great looking cars! I'm a big Red Farmer fan, Minions too!

@Safire6 and @Horrorshow, First thanks for looking. I used the Monogram Terry Labonte Kellogg's kit, it's the correct body as far as I can tell. I did lower the ride height a little. The paint is Rust-Oleum gloss "real orange" sprayed over white primer. I took the decal sheet and a picture of the Sterling's 1:1 race car plus wore a TN Vols shirt to Walmart and got the closest color I could find. The decals are from 3 Amigos. In retrospect I wish that I had hit it with a coat of gloss clear. Maybe next time. Thank you for your kind comments, Go Big Orange!!! Edit; The Terry Labonte Kellogg's kit is Revell Monogram #85-2479. The Jeff Gordon Revell Monogram kit #85-2476 would work as well.

I love it! Great looking model.

Impressive!

It's March 18 2024, still don't have my copy of #223.

This truck is so impressive, as are your skills. Thank you for posting this. Steve

What decals did you use for the numbers? The font looks great.

I'm going to preface this by saying that my wife grew up in a drag racing family. Her dad owned and drove dragsters all her life. He ordered a lot from Honest Charley's. Anyway, this year on Valentine's day, in addition to flowers I got her an Honest Charley's t-shirt and a Moon T-shirt. She liked the t-shirts a lot more than the flowers! My grandchildren live in Knoxville, TN where I'm from. We go back three or four times a year. Next time we're stopping at the Coker Museum!

Great job on this car. I always liked the Bahre Racing entries.

Great job on this! Thank you for posting it. The 1:1 is one of my favorite race cars. Like @bobss396 alluded to, the story behind Cale's win is part of Daytona 500 history. RIP Cale

Thank you Duane, I couldn't have completed it without your hood!

Thank you! I got my decals from 3 Amigos.

Finished my Sterling Marlin #14, Tennessee Volunteer Monte Carlo BGN car. She's not perfect by any stretch, but looks great on the shelf. I'm a life long TN Volunteer fan or VFL (Vol for Life). Edit: Heck, I saw my friend Duane Garner's reply and realized that I forgot to give him credit for the hood. The original kit hood crazed very badly, the worse I've ever experienced. He sent me a new hood to complete the build.

WOW, your work and attention to detail is amazing! I'll be keeping up with this. Thank you for posting.

I really like what you've done, great job! What did you do to fix the frame twist? Maybe I missed it, sorry if I did. Thank you for posting

Me too! I've got two Camaro's and three more Thunderbird's in the que to be built. Wonder if Revell still has the molds?

Looks like I figured it out! When it comes to technology, I struggle to say the least.

Looks great to me! I remember the tear that DW and Junior went on with the 1:1 race car.

Awesome, just awesome! Well done

Well done! I really like the use of the Stanley Smith #49 Amertron Batteries Cup Series decals.

Great looking model. I always liked the Kings Row car. The color's, the font, everything came together on the 1:1 and you replica.

You've done a great job with this. Excellent representation of late models from that era. Your detailing is spot on.

Good looking car, you did a great job! Bobby Hamilton was a very nice guy. Got to know him when he was racing at Highland Rim and the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedways long before he made it to the Cup Series. I know he would like what you've done.

Great build, probably my favorite Johan kits. I'm a big fan of 1:1 AMC Javelins and AMX's.

This car looks great, very well done. Like others, I really like the paint scheme! Thank you for sharing.
