Haven't been able to do too much yet. Been gathering reference pictures. Would really love to get some interior shots -
Meng 1966 Ken Miles GT40

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

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.

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.

Butch Leal California Flash 1970 Camaro

I've got 2 of his cars completed. Both 1965 Plymouths. I need more time to work on models but work and life always gets in the way. -

Cragers are from the AMT Baldwin Motion Camaro and the slicks are from the Revell Hemi Dart I believe (not sure though now). -
1977 Richard Petty Monte Carlo
jjsipes replied to jjsipes's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
No I haven't finished it yet. I plan to one day but just to many things running through my head that I want to build. -
Looks amazing. I just picked this up. Was thinking about glueing the body together but wasn't sure about the interior and getting that in. How hard was that to get everything inside after the body was glueing together and painted?

Another Landy if the tooling still exist could be the old MPC Challenger ProStock that was out decades ago. They brought back the Grumpys Toy Vega, why not the Landy Challenger?

Appears the 66 Daytona car has white pin stripes on it. These are some screenshot from some footage of the 66 Daytona 500 I found on YouTube -
1966 Richard Petty Plymouth
jjsipes replied to jjsipes's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Thanks everyone for the pics. I had some of these but some I did not. Still looking for that elusive under hood shot to see whether this carhad inner fenders or not. I have one 3/4 shot during construction showing what appears to be just the upper inner fender is there but the lower is cut away. Anyway, working on roughing in my interior floor. I'm doing this one like my Bobby Allison Daytona Charger. I filled in the grooves on top of the chassis pan from the frame rails. I then glued the interior pan in place to have the transmission tunnel and rear package tray in place. Smoothing out the interior door panels and will glue them in place so the my dash is located properly. I cut out the rear seat, the interior floor so that I have the upper side of the chassis exposed to appear as if it's the top of the floor pans. I left the door sills in place so I can glue the door panels in place. -

I remember your build. I've been waiting to build this because of the taillights. -
Both look great. I really like the Moebius Mopar kits.

Finally got one of the Moebius 1965 Plymouth AWB completed. I wanted a companion to my 1965 Butch Leal Super Stock so I decided to the Golden Commandos kit as Leal's AWB. I ordered up the Slixx Decals sheet for this car, Scale Finishes Calypso Coral paint. Primed and airburshed the Calypso Coral, all the white is from the Slixx Decals. Not real 100% happy with the way the decals went but that could just be me. Anyway great kit as usual from Moebius. Can not wait to build my other AWB Mopars. Added a shot of my Super Stock for comparison.
