Bro, you did WJ proud with this one..I'm a big WJ fan also..The detail and finish are on point..The stance is right on..I've built quite a few WJ cars to include both white cars(the plain white before he got GM Performance sponsorship) the AC Delco car, Blue GM Performance Olds and Firebird, both black Superman cars and Kurts 1st in the 6s car..I now have his black 83 Cutlass and 71 Camaro on the bench right now..Again WJ would be proud, but his quote would be "The car was a tool that I used to accomplish the goal that I set out!!!" If you're going to do anymore WJ builds get his book Drag Racing's Warren THE PROFESSOR Johnson.

Thanks sir...I took the dimension from the Butch Leal Duster I built on the forum..Plus I still have the decal sheet with picture of his car.

Thank you Mike..Becky sent me email confirming what you said. The seller was staplesautoparts on Ebay Hahn Automotive Warehouse Inc.. 1907 Boulevard, Colonial Heights, Virginia 23834-2307 Cost was $58.83..$39.95 for the paint $14.40 for shipping and $4.48 shipping I have 3 Grumpy toy kits..I really want the hood scoop that Butch Leal ran on his 71 Pro Stock Duster..Warren just used the lump at the beginning of 71 because he was running without a scoop and NHRA made him put one on..He made one of out cardboard at the track until he fabbed the lump..If u have a Leal scoop that would be outstanding..If not, I just might make my own.

I'm building the 1970 version of WJs Camaro..I bought a can of Kandy Berry Wine on ebay..Bought his book..I didn't know his Camaro had a 427 that put in to replace the 327 when he 1st started running Pro Stock..Gotta get the decals, rims and hood scoop from Slixx..Got two on the bench that I gotta finish before his..My Jegg Coughlin 67 bracket Nova and Mike Cotten's Super Stock 340 Cuda.

Nice Barry Seltzer build Mike..You are the mistro of model car building..426 builds and more on the way is awesome..I've got my 70 Camaro on the bench right now..Mines is going to be Warren Johnson's car..He's my favorite Pro Stock racer..Again another great job on this build.

Job well done Scott..I've seen this car many of times at Indy and Travis would honored about your representation of his car..That guy and his Dad Bucky are meticulous about their cars..Terry did an excellent job of doing the decals..He's my go to guy for decals..Again, job well done my friend.

Nice build my..Welcome back to the modeling world..Sometimes it takes getting away from this to get your juices going again..The pandemic did it for me..I have this kit and didn't really think about it until I saw your build..You gave me some incentive to do something with mine..Again really nice job on your build.

Very nicely done..I remember the 1st time I saw this car at Cordova Dragway in Moline Illinois..My brother who was in the Army as a Green Beret took me..I was 12 years old and could believe this car went down the track on two wheels..Bro, you hit out the part with this one.

Thank you Steve..I really tried to get the stance right on this build..I didn't want the front end up in the air and I wanted it to look realistic..Your comments really hit home saying I got it right.

Thanks Mikey...coming from you means the world to me..I consider you the archive of model history on this forum

Thank you Dan..I really wanted to get the stance somewhat right on this one.

They are custom made by Terry from STS Decals..The cost was $25.00..He has done quite a few including the Mike Cooten Super Stock Cuda..Those cost $30.00

Good Afternoon Forum I just finished this build 2 days ago..Lately, I on a building Mopars thing..I have 4 more in different stages of completion..She's painted in Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue and TS-26 Pure White..I used the slicks from the Revell Pro Stock Cutlass..Shaved the inside wheels so they would fit..Put 1/8 block under the rear leaf spring to get the height I wanted..Scratch build a drive shaft, header collectors from brass..STS did the decals..Wired the engine and coil..There are some things I wish I did better, but I'm happy with it..Thankyou, comment and enjoy. Maurice

Bro, that car looks like it's ready for some PDRA racing..The detail, stance and color are on point..Outstanding job on this build my friend.

Outstanding build my friend..MVC Products makes 440 headers for your next project if it a 440 car..You really hit it out the park on this Sox & Martin build.

Thanks Zippi..I love your Charles Carpenter 55 Chevy build..That build is badass .I got a 55 on the bench.. I'm doing Bob Mandell Orange 55 Top Sportsman car..STS made me the decals..I just gotta find the right wheels for it.

Thank you..I know the feeling and can't wait to see your build sir.

Good Evening Forum Butch Leal/Mark Pappus Pontiac Pro Stocker This was one of my favorite Pro Stock cars back in the day because of the color..I built this during the pandemic along with his white car..I took cues from Mark Pappas car that he runs in the Nostalgia Pro Stock circuit right now..Basic box stock build with only mod using a hood scoop from a old Camaro model. Chevelle Pro Mod I think I built this in the late 90's after I got back from Desert Shield/Storm..I had this Resin body and was a fan of Pro Mod driver Harold Martin who was a teammate of Warren Johnson..So tried something out of my wheel house for a change..Used the basic Pro Stock chassis and came up with this..Even though I didn't do alot of detail work on this, it's still one of my favorites..I remember I did alot of sanding because this was my 1st resin body.

No, but I'll try anything right now

Beans, you are so correct..This TS-26 Pure White has been Pure Hell. I also bought some brand new Tamiya tape.

Beans, thank you for comments and advice...This is the 1st TIME this has ever to any of my builds..I've used lacquer, acrylics, enamels and some paints that don't exist anymore..I bought some new Tamiya tape today, so I see how it goes..I gone give the Sox & Martin build some to think what it wants to do.

Thank you gentleman for your wisdom..I've done all of the thing you guys suggest..Wet sanding, changing the tape including Tamiya tape and it happened a 3rd time..I will try these methods again and hope I'm successful because painting those Sox and Martin aren't the problem it's white paint on the Quarterpanels before applying the red paint.

Good Morning Forum I'm currently building a Sox & Martin GTX..I've painted this model 3 times and when I tape it, it pulls the paint off down to the primer in big patches..I use the white Tamiya Fine Surface primer and TS-26 Pure White paint..I've washed the model, applied primer in 4 coats, 4 coats of TS-26 for the 3rd time it stil is coming off in patches on the passenger side..After each primer & paint I let the model dry for 4- 5 days...When applying primer I wait 20 minutes before applying the next coat..I do the same procedure for TS-26...If anybody has had this problem and solve it, let me know what I'm doing wrong..I don't want do a 4th or 5th attempt on getting it right.

My friend you did you dad proud..Outstanding job on your build..Long after your dad stops racing, he will have the memory of your build for him to look at..Job well done my friend!!!
