I'm looking for original pics.

Haven't been able to do too much yet. Been gathering reference pictures. Would really love to get some interior shots

Started some gathering and prep work for the Meng 1966 GT40 as driven by Ken Miles. If anyone has some pictures they'd like to share please do so. The Meng kit seems pretty decent. Just started to prep and prime some parts.

Thank you all for the comments

Just completed my 1960 Starliner. Painted it with Tamiya Black and Testors Tropical Turquoise. Wheels are from an extra Little Red Wagon kit. White whites are parts box. Not perfect but it looks okay to me

Had to do a quick mock up

Making some progress. Chassis just about completed. Working on interior.

Foil work completed

Taking a break to prep and paint something since the weather has turned beautiful here. AMT 1960 Ford Starliner. Started with Tamiya White Primer, Tamiya Black on the roof and Testors Tropical Turquoise Laqcuer on the body. Clear is Tamiya. Started looking at doing the Bare-metal trimthis evening. Dug out a set of Whitehall and 5 spoke mags out of the Dodge A100 pickup.

Looking amazing. I too have plans to build this car when time allows. Been trying to find some great clear shots of the car. I managed to find this one in a set of Mario Andretti cards at an antique store. The cards came in a nice metal tin. Must be from early in Speedweeks as it doesn't have all the associate sponsors on the front fender.

Progressing on my chassis as well

Started working on my wheels and tires from Fireball Modelworks

Dug this one out of the stash. This is T/A or R/T kit based on the diecast. I painted a few years ago with ScaleFinishes Plum Crazy enamel. I've left it sit for a while to dry good. Had some orange peel. So I grabbed a piece of 1000 and some water, then used some Mothers Pure Carnuba Pasta wax and rubbed it back up. Think it looks pretty slick. Wish the kit had the white longitudinal stripe for the sides. I grabbed a setof Mopar steelies and pias by tired for Fireball Modelworks. Never used them before. Any tips on the tires prior to applying the white letter decals?

My just completed 1958 Plymouth Belvedere "Christine". Always liked the Stephan King movie "Christine". Finally got my version built of the star car. AMT model, Tamiya Paints. Box stock so it's not very accurate but it passes close enough for me. I don't think it's quite Red enough though.
