I took the paper off and it has a very slight bumpy look. Maybe there's a film I didn't notice. I'll check tomorrow.

Which ones do you have, Plastruct or Evergreen?

Excellent job Ryan! I really like your take on this kit and I love the tow rig.

I got some Evergreen Clear Sheet Styrene and noticed it has a slight bumpy texture. It's very slight but it's there. Has anyone noticed this? Does anyone know if Plastruct Clear Sheet Styrene has any texture or is it completely smooth?

Walt, I looked at a lot of pictures of Dyno Don's cars and also came to the conclusion the Pinto was Rangoon Red. I'll be using Rangoon Red on a Dyno Don Pinto build. It's a great color and as you said it has a slight hint of orange but not at all like Poppy Red. Rangoon Red is red.

This is a great kit! I built this one back in the day. Nice work so far!

Very nice!

Excellent job converting it to a 4 door! It looks perfect.

Incredible work Paul!

Beautiful job Nick! I love the color and vinyl top! The scratch built parts look perfect! Mike.

I like to use 91% Isopropyl Alcohol to strip paint. It's safer to use and doesn't seem to affect the plastic.

Beautiful job Tyrone! I love '68 Camaros and this is going to be a real nice one.

Thanks Mitch, Bob, Scott, Ron and Mike for the nice words! I'm having fun working on this one but I've had to change quite a bit to de-Dobbertin this one. I'm not sure the Revell Beretta's body is 100% accurate to a 1:1 Beretta. Especially the rear quarter windows and pillars. The rear pillars are a bit too wide and the windows are too small. I enlarged the windows by opening them up to the molding at the top and rear. I then removed the molding since this is a race car. I feel opening the windows up help it to look more like a real Beretta. I also started working on a Reher Morrison Levi Garrett Pro Stock Beretta using an MPC Beretta GT body and I'll be using the chassis from a Revell Pro Stock Olds kit. The MPC body is surprisingly more accurate to a 1:1 Beretta. Here are 2 pictures comparing the MPC and Revell Beretta bodies. The rear deck is somewhat higher on the Revell body. I agree with what Mike(iBorg) said about the Revell Beretta being made to fit the J2000 chassis. These pictures are just a peak at that project. As soon as this Revell Super Gas Beretta is done I'll get going on the Reher Morrison build. Thanks, Mike. IMG_7821 by Michael Scarola, on Flickr IMG_7824 by Michael Scarola, on Flickr

I recently started this project. I'll be using mostly a Revell Beretta Pro Street kit with the addition of other parts. This will be a Super Gas car with a Small Block Chevy and a Powerglide. I started by lengthening the nose and enlarging the rear wheel openings. I have a set of 16 x 33 slicks from Futurattraction that I'll be stuffing up in there. I added some styrene to the tops of the fenders to raise the hood by the windshield. It seems the Pro Stock/Super Gas Beretta bodies had the hood higher on the windshield. I had a roll cage and various parts from a Revell Pro Stock Firebird and Olds I'm modifying to fit. The dashboard is from an MPC Beretta with the bottom part removed. I still have to finish work on the chassis but thought I'd show some of what I've done so far.

I won't be replicating this car exactly but rather going for the overall look. I really like the look of this one and the color. I'll be painting this in 1965 Ford Rangoon Red which looks close to this Beretta in the pictures below. Thanks for looking in!

Ron, Excellent work on this! You have great skills with the metal work. I hope to see some updates soon.

Ron, that's orange! I chose Rangoon Red since it's a factory Ford color for the Dyno Don Pinto. Rangoon Red was also used on various NASCAR's back in the day so I wouldn't be surprised if that's the color Dyno Don used on his Pinto.

So far I'm going with 1965 Ford Rangoon Red. It has a very slight orange in it but is red. Poppy Red is definitely an orange color. Dyno Don's Pinto looks to be a red color.

Dave, Do you have 1/25 gauge decals? For the tach and the other small gauges?

Made a great trade with gardnerpag44(Paul)!

Incredible job Tyrone! The paint looks amazing.

How did you print them? On a laser printer? Which of the Slixx sheets are they on?

Does anyone make decals for 1/25 scale MSD boxes?

Awesome Scott!

I recently got paint from Matt and they are the best spraying and smoothest paints I ever used. Matt's customer service is second to none.

The Revell Beretta Pro Street is a nice kit. Most of it is based on the Dobbertin J-2000. I have a Dobbertin J-2000 and it's very accurate to Dobbertin's car. Revell did an amazing job on it BITD.
