Just scuffed and got some paint on this one today. Never used this color before (Tamiya TS-28 Olive Drab 2) so, I was curious how it would turn out. Still waiting for it to dry to see if it will be glossy or flat or what. If flat, will need some gloss clear to be able to decal it. These pictures were right after it was sprayed. Now about 30 mins later, it appears to be drying to a satin finish.

Thanks Mark. No I will not be fixing the roof rail on this one. Just want to try and get one together to see how they go. Have been reading ill things about the kit why did they do this? why did they do that? Just wanted to see for myself how they go together.

They look amazing. The fit, the finish, the detail work looks great. Hard to believe these are brush painted!

Wow that's beautiful. Don't believe I have ever seen that one built before. Nice!

Since I have some bodies for winter assembly, I thought I'd hop back on to the NextGEN kit. This one will be my "guinea pig". Primed the body and got the rollcage assembled. No real issue with rollcage other than the top rollbar piece as molded was warped badly. The vertical center bar seems to be a tad short. But, the biggest issue is the under-chassis plate being warped badly. Need to decide if I want to paint the rollcage assembly and the top of the under-chassis plate that is the bottom of the cockpit?

After seeing your build, got me to thinking about the movie Redline 7000. Dug it out and started watching while waiting for the wife to come home from work. Kids are in bed, dog asleep next to me on the bed, all is quite.

Following as I have 3 to build different #43 Erik Jones cars. Go luck Mark.

That looks great. Always thought about building some 64 Fords but haven't had the time with some much work that needs to go into them. I was following your build and picked up so rips from it. Maybe one day I'll tackle a 64 Ford

Those colors really pop. I'm in the middle of converting the Revell Daytona into a stock car as well. A lot of work but getting there. Yours looks great.

In my quest to build the Daytona 500 winners, here is my 1986 winner. Started with. Revell Wrangler Monte Carlo kit, Tamiya Yellow and White, Powerslide decals and Pledge Floor Gloss.

Just got the Gold resprayed last week and decided to try and clear it today. Not too bad but the door lines ran back a little.

Mark i have been using Tamiya tape right at the separation line on the past couple models. I really like the stuff.

Painting has started. Need to go over the Gold again once I can get to the store. Decided to go with Bobby Allison.

Got the body work completed and decided on which one I will be building but, not letting on yet. I started the paint process and will post an update when painted.

Looking good for the issues you have been talking about. I have thought about building some of these Fords but just haven't had the time. So thanks for sharing yours.

Anybody have any more info on this Resto Mod kit.

Looking good Mark. Keep it up.

Wow just happen to stumble upon this thread. What a transformation. The scale of the pilot and detail painting of him, wow! You did an amazing job. Thanks for sharing

Working on stance.

Looking good

What Blue is that? It looks great, I went with 2009 Surf Blue that is a match to my daily driver 2009 Challenger.

Yeah, I was leaning toward cutting rear wheel houses and modifying the upper a arms and spindles but have been busy with work and kids

Still some work to be done to get it lower I believe. Just some quick pics.

I've been thinking about trying that one as well. Would love to get decals for it.

Loving it!
