Excellent job on an obscure car!

Wow. Tanks aren't shiny, but you've got it down on cars.

Great job! Love the '60s-'70s cars when you could tell them apart.

Way nice Lizardlust. Dig the working hood pins and hinges.

Cool. Wouldn't be a Petty fan would you?

Very nice outlaw. Welcome to the forum!

Add my kudos, nice job! When you really get down to it, an Xacto, glue, and sandpaper (plus 40 years of patience) are really all you need. All the rest just make it easier and more enjoyable, which is why we do it in the first place.

Definitely needs more cowbell! And a peace sign or two.

If you love NASCAR, you've got to have a 3 car or two. Here's mine.

X2. Love the old front-engined diggers! Can't wait to see it finished (without the toast crumbs)

A TR4A and a MGA. Both cars my dad had when I was little.

So a little more googling and I find that the Buick and Oldsmobile wagons of '59 have virtually identical rooflines to the Chevy. This appears to be the way to go.

Wow. Can you say cowboy cadillac?

I'm looking to build a '59 Cadillac Nomad wagon (Nomillac...Caddymad?) using the Ecto-1 and Monogram convertible as a base. Anyways, I've been piecing together some drawings using my very limited skills with Windows Paint program. I'm pretty comfortable with shortening the beast to the stock wheelbase of 130", according to my research Nomads were based on convertibles? Where I'm unsure is the roof treatment. Here's the stock Ecto-1: Here it is shortened to the convertible wheelbase (approx)and chopped slightly to fit the convertible windshield height: The roof seems a little too tall (deep?), but I'm looking for opinions about the B and C pillars. Here's a '59 Chevy Nomad roof grafted on: So what do you think?

Looks very credible for the period. Nice job. Don't know about the white wheels, though

I love it! Many are not aware RP ran an Oldsmobile for a time. Nicely done replica of an historic car.

Well done. I've built one PL charger and don't think I wish to try another, fought me at every step. The stenciling on the tires looks very real, are they transfers or paint?

I think Musgrave came up from the ASA ranks? Jack Roush gave him a shot as he was expanding the team in the early '90's. I just liked the paint scheme. Paint was the blue and white, all the rest is decals. Shabo transfers on the tires. Stripes on the roof were a bear!

Very cool. I used to watch LaJoie race up here at Ken Squire's Thunder Road 1/4 mile bullring in the 80's. Now he's making a name in racing seats.

You know it! STP, Skoal, Permatex, Bud, Miller, Old Milwaukee, when it was about the cars and the drivers, not dishwashing detergent and candy.

With a nod to Old Coyote, who is a big Terry fan. I don't know who the car owner was, just remember that the number was chosen to advertise the new 94 octane gas at the pump. Saw a real one at a local Sunoco station on tour. Always liked the Olds body style.

Awesome! Very nice job. I love this era of NASCAR.

That's some twisted mind Can't wait to see where this goes!

I agree, very nice job. The wheels/tires look very realistic, the troubles you had with the decals doesn't show.

My all time favorite driver. Some of the decals have yellowed with age. When I got them they cost $8 (gasp) because they were tobacco related. Early '90s build if I remember correctly.
