Apparently, NASCAR race cars in the sixties still used key start. I heard Joe Weatherly was quite the prankster and one time he went down pit lane before the start of the race and stole all the keys.

Real sharp.

Real nice build.

Real sharp, love the Ontario plate.

Real sharp…nice work.

AMT 66 stocker. Always wanted to try one of these kits. I dislike the oversized tires that come with it, used Plastic Performance wheels and tires. The decals were some leftover Smokin Joes. Very simple kit, not many parts but lots of fit issues. I didn’t use the bumper bars that came with the kit, there is no area for the rear to attach to and the front would not line up. I filled in the rear wheel wells with .020 styrene and Tamiya putty. Anyway, I’m happy with the result, I like the black and green together. I resisted the urge to smother it in decals, maybe add some later.

Great color Great detail Great stance Great build all around, great work

I’m have two of these started, one will be a Donnie Allison Merc.

Wow, even a key in the ignition, quite impressive build!

What brand of putty do you use?

I believe his first movie was Dr. Strangelove. Around 1964.

Wow, you really nailed that one, looks fabulous.

Don’t forget The Simpsons.

I was trying black tape on a windshield for a NASCAR build, I thought it looked awful so I took the tape off but it left residue. I’ve tried soap and water and rubbing alcohol but neither worked. Any suggestions?

They were both Buddy Baker #28.

One red…one blue.

Real sharp.

Real sharp…nice work

Great work so far, can’t wait to see the finished product.

What’s better than starting a new build when you have about 25 already started? Starting 2, of course. Purchased 2 Salvinos’ 442 kits on sale from Mike’s. Both have been primed with grey and have been top coated with white.

James Bond would look cool driving an Aston Martin gasser.

This would be cool, might do one myself.

Beautiful build…real sharp!

Real sharp!

I’ve been reading that there is an issue with handling chrome paint (specifically Revell). Some parts like rims must be touched by hand to insert them into the tire, do gloves help? Any suggestions would be appreciated before I invest in a can.
