Great builds!

I came across a couple more shots of the 37.

Thanks Jim, I agree, I didn’t see a need for a ton of decals, less is more sometimes. It’s now posted under glass.

So true, I I’m surprised as to what is allowed in Stock Class racing, back in the day stock meant stock.

Really coming along nicely Ron, people don’t realize the amount of work it takes to actually replicate a specific 1to1 race car.

She’s finished and under glass

I’m liking this, it’s different!

That came out nice!

Thanks Larry, most of the engine is kit parts, I sanded the ribs off the oil pan ,swapped the injector from the parts box and valve covers from the Revell 67 Chevelle kit.

Coming along nicely Ron!

Thanks everyone, greatly appreciated!

I’m calling this one finished. It’s not perfect but for the most part I’m satisfied with it. I learned a lot about this kit during the building. Some experimenting went on with this one. Windshield needed the bottom trimmed as the interior didn’t fit and now the chassis isn’t squared with the body so the front right tire isn’t sitting on the ground. I added the headlights after painting, big mistake as the attachment points were buried in paint, and it made placement really hard. The superglue I used to mount the door handles fogged the black paint. Comments, criticism welcome. Thanks for looking.

That’s just gorgeous! I’ve always wanted to build the red #72 champ car, great inspiration!

That is just so cool!!!

60s cars were so beautiful, your build is beautiful as well.

I always liked the look of day two cars. As a young kid, you had to make the car yours and a change of wheels was usually the first change. Yours looks beautiful and I too love your color choice. Changing paint types, or manufacturers is always a challenge as I recently learned.

Very nice

Very nice, I love the simplicity of the old kits, and they build into accurate looking builds. You’ve captured the look. Cool build!

You don’t see this kit built stock very often, beautifully done.

One of my favorites, and it’s on my build list, very cool build!

Very cool build Wayne!

Looks great Michael, your display case must be getting full.

I spent the day in the garage working on this, it’s almost finished. I remember ads in 1960s Hot Rod magazines advertising Cal Custom metal flake steering wheels in red, blue, green and silver, so in keeping in theme I painted the steering wheel metal flake Red. I added fuel lines to the injector as well as Champion Spark plug decals to the valve covers. I added the rear shocks and painted them. The next photos will be in Underglass. I need to paint under the hood, add the door handles and a few touch ups.

I like the injectors, looking good!

Hey Ron, I have these, I think with a little work they could be made to work. Your welcome to them. PM me with your address and I’ll mail them to you.
