  1. Very nice, clean build. Your version is very acceptable. If you were trying to be accurate, as you have already stated, the four speed would run with the short stacks and the scoop on the hood.
  2. My latest completion. Bucky Hess super stock 68 Hemi Cuda. Lots of kitbashing, scratchbuilding, wiring and plumbing, resin parts, 3D parts and aftermarket decals.
  3. Latest completed build. Revell kit with machined aluminum wheels, homemade decals, hinged trunk with scratchbuilt trunk interior. Scratchbuilt rollcage, 3d printed shifter and added detailing. https://images34.fotki.com/v1681/photos/3/177223/16535211/20230626_114940-vi.jpg[/img]
  4. The 3d printed parts came from Jim Rogers of Salvinos JR
  5. Completed build of Don Prudhomme's 71 Hot Wheels Cuda funny car. Revell kit with resin body and custom made vinyl decals.
  6. This is my completed build of Erik Jones 2022 Bristol dirt race Tide Camaro. It is built from a Salvinos kit along with 3D printed dirt tires, mudflaps and wiper blade along with decals from 3 Amigos.
  7. Just finished my first modified build. I used excellent Ace Decals. Pinned the carb to allow the air cleaner to be removed and heated the kit based window net and reshaped it to give it the laid open look.
  8. Been absent from the forum for a while. Here is my latest completed build. Salvinos JR nextgen Camaro kit combined with decals from MPR to build the Noah Gragson Wendy's car that he ran at the Daytona 500. Lots of added details, some that can't be seen after final assembly. Open hood, cut away the hood vents for realism. Open trunk and roof flaps. I purposely built the engine to be displayed outside the car so that all of the extra detail can be seen. I built it where it can be displayed with the tires/wheels on or off. I'll add a future post that shows some of the closeup details of what is hard to see.
  9. Thanks for all the compliments.
  10. Very nice. Sits right and this car always looked better with black wheels than the chrome ones on the box art.
  11. My latest finished build. Salvinos JR 73 Petty Charger. Lots of extra details including some assorted 3D parts, MCG photo etch and all the necessary plumbing and wiring.
  12. Very nice build. Excellent detail and paint work.
  13. Thanks guys. This is a resin body that I created. There were a lot of changes made to the body but I don't believe that I widened it at all.
  14. Almost 10 years ago I started on this build. It's been on and off the workbench multiple times in that time span. The body has been through two complete re-paints in that time as well, for different reasons. Now, it's finally complete and on the shelf. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [
  15. Finished another out of the box build. Only the second Indy car style build that I've ever done. Chose this one to go with all of the other STP builds that I've been doing lately. This is the Monogram kit built with the kit decals. The only change was switching the head of the driver with a resin cast piece and finding some parts box decals to add to the driver as the kit decals didn't come with any markings.
  16. Another recent completed build. Revell Ferrari 612 Scaglietti built pretty much out of the box other than lowering the stance. I went with blacked out wheels and a custom color of Nissan Orange Mist
  17. Here's my latest Nascar build. Kyle Busch 2007 Lowes Spectracide Monte Carlo. Pretty much out of the box with a lowered ride height and aftermarket decals. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [
  18. Thanks guys for all of the compliments. I haven't been on here much lately as my PC gave up and it's taken me this long to finally get a new one.
  19. I did this one years ago using an AMT kit that was modified along with a Revell/Monogram chassis and engine. Decals were pieced together from different sources including a Nascar Motorcraft Ford kit. I sold it a few years back with the intentions of doing another one with better overall detail.
  20. I shaved the top of the carb down to get the air cleaner lower.
  21. Here is my latest. Neil Bonnett 79 Armor All Olds using a Salvinos Grey Ghost kit and Powerslide decals.
  22. Out of the ashes rises an old build that never got finished. I pulled it from the box a few months back and the more I looked at it the more I decided that I wasn't happy with the second paint job. So, once again, I started over. Before repaint I made the hood opening smaller and then came up with yet another paint scheme different from the last two. Now it's time to get this one finished so I don't have to change my mind again. All of the decals are on and clear coat added today.
  23. Casey, Jeff Faris and Dave Holmes have been working with Atlantis ever since a hint of this reissue was talked about. They are doing an entirely new tooling for the tires along with possibly a few other parts, if I read correctly. Also, Chuck Boerner is doing the decals for the kits.
  24. Almost 40 years of building and this is my first completed Richard Petty build. I used the Salvinos 83 kit with the vermilion decals. Other than lowering the ride height it is built straight out of the box.
