Found this on Randy Ayers board. You're right Ken, black interiors. Must have been an oven in there!

LOL. My grandsons (5 & 2) are allowed to drool on the display case, but not get inside. When they're a little older and show some interest, I've got plenty enough in the stack to keep them busy.

That appears spot-on to my eye, but I do wear glasses

Thanks guys. Any ideas on the engine? Was it unpainted aluminum block & heads? I doubt they were Chevy red.

Looks black to me.

Thanks Jacen. I've got some vintage stock car books as well but apparently interior shots weren't very popular!

My only goal is to make the next one better than the last one. Each one teaches me something, whether its a new technique or honing a skill. I'm not always successful but that's what I shoot for. To set an arbitrary number of completions seems to me to be self-defeating. I rushed to finish when I was a kid, now it's more about the journey. (Kumbayah)

Yeah, I would think black wouldn't work so well. Red sounds more plausible. Where do you go for reference photos? I did a Google image search but didn't find anything with an interior shot.

My latest project is Cale Yarborough's #11 Holly Farms Laguna owned by Junior Johnson. Does anyone know what color the interior was in this car? The typical 'gloss gull gray' as in later cars or were they doing something different in 1976? I'm also searching for the proper orange shade for the car. I've got a can of Krylon called 'John Deere yellow' that looks reasonably close? Any comments/suggestions welcome!

That's pretty cool (no pun intended)! I didn't know they made El Caminos in '62?

Back in '52 I imagine they went with whatever was on the car, but then again Petty blue was a mix of what they had in the shop at the time

Go to TCPGLOBAL.com, auto color library. Plug in make/year and you get color chips for factory paint. I go there to research period correct colors for stock builds. After that you can prowl the LHS or hardware store aisles for something close.

Nice builds. Looks like you had a good year.

What a good year! Especially like the Super Bee. All those cold winter nights must give you plenty of modelling time.

Very nice job, love the mods.

Just enough to make it look like a daily driver, but not Dr. Cranky-ised! Nice job.

Finish with a bang, leave them wanting more! Great job.

Dr. Cranky will love this. Great job.

Duh, if I'd read the thread title!

Another for the engine bay, great work! Hubcaps on a race car?

Very nice build. I too liked the show, so of course it's gone. Gotta love it when the hero drives a muscle car! (Nash Bridges?)

Forgive my ignorance, but couldn't you build the Lawman with the Color Me Gone kit and some aftermarket decals?

Nice, Mark! I don't remember ever seeing the purple car. And I love the Tommy Ellis car! Ricky Craven used to race occasionally up here at 'Thunder Road' in the '80's (1/4 mile bullring in Barre, VT co-owned by Ken Squier). He and Randy Lajoie, as well as Chuck Bown were some of the guys we used to watch on Thursday nights that moved up the ladder.

Just put it away and start something else. Sooner or later that bug will bite again and you'll be ready to do it justice.

Got mine today. Looks like it'll be a busy January
