I finished this one a couple weekends ago - it was my beta-test and was one of the original 3 that I purchased when they were on sale. It was my inspiration to build some more.

This morning’s pre-work construction: 4 x roll-cages.

I bought 3 Salvinos kits on a whim when one of Sydney's hobby stores had some of the kits heavily discounted. Having never build a NASCAR stocker or a Salvinos kit before I thought: "Why not?" One of those kits happened to be Cale Yarborough's Oldsmobile 442. Black Friday rolled round and some more kits were on sale and they all happened to be 442s; so I purchased 3 more! So here is the first post of what I hope is a build diary of all 4 to keep me focused to see them through to the end. 4 Oldsmobile 442s filled, sanded and primed from left to right: Cale Yarborough #11 Benny Parsons #72 Buddy Baker #28 AJ Foyt #51 All comments, reference pictures, build suggestions, and comparisons to your own builds are more than welcome.

I’ll see you your two and raise you 2 all primed and ready to be made as: Benny Parsons Racing AJ Foyt Cale Yarborough Buddy Baker’s Gray Ghost

Here are a couple of build guides that highlight the challenges, errors, omissions, and solutions for this kit: Build Blog: Buddy’s Gray Ghost – wixy500 Build Video: The Gray Ghost – wixy500

Thank you, I appreciate the reference

Hi. I am making this kit and I've damaged the clear headlight lenses. If anyone has the spare set of them and would be prepared to sell them to me I'd appreciate it. Regards Grant

The first NASCAR racer that I've ever made. It was a lot of fun to do. All the paints are SMS except for the chrome which is Outlaw and the clear coat is HKS 2k automotive

I thought it was just me.

Hi. Nice job. I'm building this car now. Could you tell me please what color you used for the lower side trim yellow/gold? Thanks
