Old Coyote

... the last two weeks have seen more progress in our attempt to see completion by the end of September ... the transmission crossmember has been modified to house and support the brake booster and master cylinder ... strengthening gussets were fabricated and the unit has been installed into the chassis ... floor and firewall modifications have been made ... pedal arm assembly is in place ... just waiting of the brake pedal itself to arrive ... the Hurst V-Matic shifter and console have been positioned ....... the console has been rounded to match the curve of the transmission tunnel

... Dave Marcis replaced Greg Sacks behind the wheel of Larry Hedrick's #41 at the second Bristol race in 1992 ......... he would wind up driving the car for seven races that year ......... Jim Sauter took the wheel of Marcis' #71 during that time ...... Thanks for the full explanation Mark

.............. Bantam Blast chassis and body (with rear fenders removed) ......... Ross Gibson small block Chevrolet engine .............. Cobracolors Tangerine Pearl paint .......... and Slixx decals

There's no clear at all on the body

Tamiya clear red over sheet stock applied with an airbrush

These are Wet Works decals ......... I originally got mine from BSR, but I think he's going out of the decal business ........ he's having a 'going out of business" sale but these aren't listed

........ the Panther Brewing Company "Three Stooges Beer" Ford Taurus Busch car driven by Jason White

....... built during one of our club's 24 hour build days ......... Lake Speed's Spam Thunderbird

....... another great "Pontiac" funny car .......... this time from 1978 ......... Dale Pulde's "War Eagle" Firebird

....... one of the greatest cars to come out of my home state of Texas in the mid-60's was the '66 GTO match race "funny Car" of Don Gay ......... sponsored by Gay Pontiac in Dickinson, Texas and with nitro burning Pontiac engines built by James O'Steen, this car was a crowd pleaser wherever it went The model combines a Competition Resins body sitting on a highly modified Rat Packer chassis ....... paint by Cobracolors and decals from SLIXX

Thanks Wayne. The paint is Cobracolors Candy Mayan Gold over Cobracolors Millenium Yellow, and yes I had trouble with both sets of Slixx decals

Stunning build John ............. another miniature masterpiece

Another simply awesome build Mr. T ............ your modeling skills amaze me ............. beautiful work sir

The body came from Competition Resins ........ it rides over a late Revell chassis

Yes sir, it was a Busch car ........... Stevie Reeves was a celebrated Sprint car driver who tried to make the switch to Nascar ............ unsuccessfully ..... and thank you for your kind words ......... they are much appreciated

...... while the big blown Chrysler powered AA/GS rigs got all the fanfare and attention during the Gasser Wars of the mid '60's, most of the Willys Gassers I saw were lower class cars ......... usually powered by injected small block Chevrolets

Dale Pulde & Mike Hamby's Miller High Life Warrior Buick Somerset Regal

......... our club had a group Nova build .......... this is what I conjured up

........ the Thunderbird driven by Stevie Reeves .......... I saw this car in three different colors ........... teal, light blue, and dark blue ........... didn't matter what the color was, Stevie just couldn't seem to get a handle on the big stock cars

..... driven by the racing barrister from Spokane, WA ........ Chad Little

..... before Billy Hagen and Terry Labonte it belonged to Richard Childress and Ricky Rudd ........ circa 1983

That's really rather sad
