Hello......well it`s finished....... this was my first attempt at a Nascar........I would like to thank Mr.Clay Kemp for the inspiration to build a Nascar......he is truly a Master Modeler.......and thank you to all the firends that gave all those kind comments and those who followed this build in the "Work bench" section......thank you to "Pro Tech" for: braided line,rubber fuel line ,t`fittings, detailing wire,5 point seat-belt harness,valve stems,bolt ends,body fasteners,and hood pins.......and thank you Mr. Art laski for getting me the Bobby Allison decals........and a very special thank you to my Mom Ruby for getting me this model at a garage sale........this stated out as a 1/25 scale AMT Bobby Allison kit.......I used this kit and a in-complete Revell 1/24 Dale Earnhardt Lumina and a in-complete Revell Dale Earnhardt jr. Monte Carlo......I combined all of them together to get a look that I wanted.......I am sure I made a ton of mistakes ......I modified the Dale Earnhardt chasiss to fit the Matador body.......I made alot of modifications and a ton of scratch built parts.......to many to mention......H.O.K. white.true blue and Dupont Jarret red......bare metal foil.......all chrome was striped and painted Alcald.......if you would like to see how I built this car......please take a look in the "Under Glass Section".........thank`s for looking.

Hello.......I have been getting alot of nice comments.......and I really do appreciate them........ but, I need to say..........I am a Huge Huge fan of Mr. Clay Kemp......he is a big inspiration to me......I have studied some of his builds and used some of his techniques on this build.......I changed alot of things to my own style..........so what I am trying to say is that ......If anything is wrong it is not from Clay Kemp......it is my own fault......I did not want to copy exactly from his reference.......so that is why I changed things around......anyway this is my first Nascar and I have learned alot......I think I like the older style ones better.......but,I wanted to combine a old and new Nascar as one......just to be different.....I should have this done by tomorrow.......thank`s for following this build.

Homer...... this is the tape I use when I mask my paint job`s.......it is computer board tape......it curves good and is not to sticky and sticks just right......I have tried different types of tape and this works the best for me.....I paint with urethane,lacquer,acrylic,enamel.......and this tape works well with all......I like to put mist coats till I get a good cover of paint......Then I will pull the tape off right away......I dont like to let the tape and paint dry together.......if the paint is flaking when you pull off the tape......you may have left the tape on to long......hope I helped.......thank`s
