Put a coat of Pledge Floor Gloss on it just now and this happened on the hood, roof and deck lid. The hood cleared up, hope the rest does.
-
Had to do a quick mock up
-
Decals completed. Hope they all stick. Have an issue with the red pinstripe coming off and a Grey Rock coming off after a few days of doing the drivers side.

Looks great.

Started tobredecal with Powerslide decals. Going much smoother than with the Fred Cady decals. So pleased with how the door number laid down in all body lines.
-
Has it really been this long since I've worked on this? Dug it out again, stripped the decals off since some were not laid down good and got a set of Powerslide decals. Need to wrap this on up next.

Thanks for the comments. I really enjoy the older nascar cars.

Here's a picture of the interior during construction

Got this one done.

Dug this one out of my stash to finish. Inly had a few parts to add upon pulling it out of the box. Started with the Moebius Joe Weatherly Pontiac kit.. Painted Testors Classic White with Duplicolor Autumn Maple interior, Powerslide decals. Made headlight covers. Mostly out of box except headlight covers, fuel filler neck and overflow below the trunk lid. Had tobwait a few days for it to stop snowing to be able tobget pictures outside. Hope I was able to capture the look accurately.

Got it all done

I just completed my 1969 Ford Talladega made by Polar Lights. I used Testors Big Bad Blue, Powerslide decals. Body just sits on chassis, not to happy about that. No real locating pins on alot of the parts. I cut the exhaust dump tube and replaced with aluminum tabbing for a more realistic look. Was worried how it would look but quite satisfied with the end result.

Getting closer. Decaled up and a coat of Pledge Floor Gloss for clear.
-
Got it on all four. This is the stance out of box

ASince completing my 92 and 64 Petty cars, I decided to dig this one out. I have never built one of these Polar Lights kits. I'm not tobsure about them. I had started this one years ago as well and thought it was time to finish it. Painted this one with Testors Big Bad Blue Laqcuer as well. Using Testors Dark Blue in the small bottle for suspension parts. I have a set of Powerslide decals for it, just need to decide which ones I want to use.

Just completed my 1964 Plymouth Belvedere as driven by Richard Petty to his 1st Daytona 500 victory. Started with the Lindberg Petty Kit. Painted Testors Big Bad Blue, Powerslide decals, Testors Silver Blue for the Interior, Mix of Trstos Light Blue and White for the chassis and under hood, PPP wheels and tires. I built the old Johan Kit that I found when I was kid and always wanted to build a better version. Finally got it done. I started this back in 2014 I believe.

Just completed this one. Need to wait for a sunny day to get better pictures to post in under glass.
-
Some updated pictures as I'm trying to finish it.
-
Thanks guys. I've always been a Petty fan and have plans to build more of his cars but never really knew what to se for colors or had access to them. Not to mention, I have dreaded the two-tones.
-
Since completing my Fan Appreciation Tour car, I thought I'd dig out my 64 Plymouth to try and finish up. Just recently searched for any new pictures and found this on on Twitter. Not Daytona but shows the stock bucket seat.
-
Just completed my 1992 Pontiac Grand Prix that Richard Petty drove in his last season that he raced. Started with a Monogram Pennzoil Pontiac, Powerslide decals, Testors Big Bad Blue and Tamiya Fluorescent Red with a dusting of Tamiya Fluorescent Orange. All cleared with Pledge Floor Gloss
-
Decals completed, coat of Future on for clear coat.
-
Chassis progressing. I took valve covers from a later Monte Carlo to do away with heat shields and I will attempt to use the exhaust headers from same donor Monte Carlo to do away with cross over pipes. Still work to be done but looking good.
-
Have been working on this one for awhile now. Started with the Monogram Pennzoil Pontiac. Just dug it out to see about completing it. Testors Big Bad Blue with Tamiya Fluorescent Red, which started to get to red looking, so I dusted and light coat of Tamiya Fluorescent Orange over it. I like the look. Started decaling with Powerslide decals. Looks as though I may have to double up on some of the decals due to bleed thru of the different colors.

Started looking at the interior. Took the stock seat and scribed some pleats. Now onto the seat back.
