Old Coyote

Great looking build, your talents are quite impressive.

That is a beautiful build sir. You do outstanding work.

Great work Darryl ..... your builds are out of this world.

Very nice build sir ..... you did an excellent job with those decals.

Beautiful build sir ....... quite clean and extremely well done.

I coat all older decals with Testors 9200 decal bonder and then do what High Octane says about cutting the decals. I have no issues at all.

Beautiful build sir. I had never heard of that car until seeing your build.

Very nice build Bruce ..... quite impressive.

Beautiful build of a very unique subject. Well done.

Very nice build sir, great work.

Darryl, you're too much! An absolutely classic build ....... looks like something the Bo(b) (G)lidden would drive. Great work sir.

I would suggest you look at Ronnie Setzer's Southern Motorsports hobbies and Mike's decals. They have the largest supply of Nascar decals from that era that I'm aware of. Their website links are below. http://stores.smhracing.com https://www.mikesdecals.com

Another gorgeous build Mark. Your collection must be stunning to see. Great work sir.

Gorgeous build sir ..... you do beautiful work.

..... We lost Gary Ormsby way too soon ....... he and Lee Beard were a genuinely class act and a marvelous pair of racers Revell kit with a few details ..... Cobracolors paint ..... kit decals

Very cool build, nicely done.

Very nice build. He was ( and still is ) my favorite drive also.

Very nicely done, looks good.

A true gentleman and a legend in the sport.

That's really cool, very nice build.

Great looking build, very nice work.

The lower nose panel in the kit is a half mile/superspeedway nose piece ..... the picture on the box shows a short track car with additional lower scoops for front brake cooling ducts, as extra braking is required on short and road course tracks ..... and you are correct, that is a "slab sided" kit which lends itself to replicating '97-'99 Monte Carlos When I build a replica of one of the '97-'99 Kellogg's speedway cars, I sand off the raised plastic lower air duct grilles and replace them with more authentic looking decals from a Slixx decal sheet ..... as you can see below on my replica of the '99 Winston All Star race winning Kellogg's K-Sentials car ..... if you build a short track car you can match the center duct decal with short track duct decals which usually come on the same sheet ..... some Slixx sheets are still available from Mike's decals and from Southern Motorsports Hobbies

Beautiful build sir ...... very clean and nicely done !

Being a Terry Labonte fanatic, I'm really glad to see that you're building this car. By the way, the car pictured on the model box is the standard paint configuration on Terry's '97 Monte Carlos. Revell/Monogram produced two different bodies/kits of the mid to late '90's Monte Carlos. The first was the "rounded side" Monte Carlo cars '('95-'96) that had the "oval topped" lower air intake and the oil cooler lines which ran behind the radiator. (shown below on the Interstate Batteries car.) The second was a "slab sided" body that better represented the '97-'99 Monte Carlos. It has a molded in rectangular lower air intake and had no oil cooler lines. (shown below on the '97 Kelloggs car.) I normally don't comment on "work in progress" threads, preferring to wait and comment on the finished items. But rest assured that I will be closely watching your progress. John

..... I thought you might get a kick out of this ....... I found these pictures today ..... built for a club build way back when I lived in Albuquerque in 1991 ......... we all had to build a Revell '67 Chevelle ....... I chose to modify mine into a Nascar sportsman ...... used an AMT chassis under the Chevelle SS body and some spare Nascar decals .....
