Yes I do as well and not just because it's easier to replicate in scale, lol! Need to figure out the inside color. I have seen pictures that appear to be black and some that appear to be green. Anybody know?

Since the weather was nice in Maryland thought I would take a few minutes at work and get these 2 out and clear coat them. First one 1986 Harry Gant and the second one 1989 Daytona 500 winner of Darrell Waltrip
-
Wow that looks fantastic. Great job
-
That looks great. I've got one in my stash to build. Need the time to get to it. Too many others on the go. In the meantime I'll just look at yours. Thanks for sharing
-
1982 Daytona 500 Winner just about completed. Need to do the exhaust, which is drying, and a window net.
-
Nothing on TV tonight, wife working so, I pulled 1988 Daytona 500 DVD out put itin player and got the 1982 Daytona 500 winner out to work
-
To my knowledge if I remember correctly, it was Testors Orange enamel but it was painted 2-3 years ago
-
Here's a peak at another one Bobby Allison cars I have in the works. 1988 Daytona 500 winner
-
On to the 1982 Daytona 500 winner
-
Looks amazing. Very clean build
-
Like other have stated, I just picked one up at Hobby Lobby this past weekend for my father's 65th birthday.

1981 Hardees Buick pretty much done except final touch up, window net and clean up. Cut the exhaust dumps and replaced with aluminum tube for a better appearance. I just noticed the padding on the top bar has slid to the passenger side, need to fix that and glue it.
-
First attempt at using heat shrink for tall bar padding. Not to bad but tough to cut.
-
Been working on the chassis for the 81 Hardees Buick. Been a while since I had built one of these. Been looking for some reference pictures and building. Had a tight squeeze getting the engine in with the headers installed since I had the firewall and roll cage glued together prior to paint. I know the kit headers are wrong but just feels good to get something accomplished.

With the Daytona 500 upon us and my 69 Hurst Olds fighting me, I thought I'd get these out and work on them a little. Had painted and decaled a couple years ago but never gotten around to finishing them. Chassis's are painted and then cleared with Tamiya Semi Gloss Clear. Looks better than Gloss or Flat to me on the chassis. Tired have been delettered and decaled and shot with Flat clear. Looks great but they seem to want to stick to everything. Don't even remember what Flat Clear I used

Love it. -
I did cut the front glass from the rear so that I didn't have the "runnners" running front to back. Thanks for the comments. Not to bad for a Mopar Man I guess
-
Got the hood decal the best I could using MicroSol and MicroSet. Still have a few wrinkles but not to bad.
-
Wow that looks great. Never seen that one before. Thanks for sharing
-
Now in Under Glass Section
-
Couple other shots
-
Finally got this completed. Scale Finishes Calypso Coral Enamel. No clear. White and Black interior. Basically box stock.
-
Engine completed.
-
No I have never been to the meetings. Have thought about it. Engine is about done. Other than some engine work and final clean up it's all but done
-
Were the wheels Gold or Gray Metal color? I have been seeing them both ways and I am not sure which way the originally came.
