Looks great, did you print the dirt tires or where did you buy them?
The 3d printed parts came from Jim Rogers of Salvinos JR

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for all the compliments.

Very nice. Sits right and this car always looked better with black wheels than the chrome ones on the box art.
-
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.
-
Very nice build. Excellent detail and paint work.

Very nice, those kits were a little troublesome but you got er done. What did you use for the flourescent red...it looks good.

turn out great bye the way did you widen the body?
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.
-
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.

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.

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

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.

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.
-
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.

Looks great-did you have hood fitment issues with the air cleaner on this kit?
I shaved the top of the carb down to get the air cleaner lower.
-
Here is my latest. Neil Bonnett 79 Armor All Olds using a Salvinos Grey Ghost kit and Powerslide decals.
-
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.

Presumably, the 1/16 Revell F/C mold (and various inserts for the different bodies, wheels, and injectors) is all now in Atlantis' possession. The most recent reissue, the '71/2 Hawaiian Charger F/C, was molded stateside in 2014, so I feel confident Atlantis has everything.
It will be interesting to see if they also acquired the new tire molds, too, which debuted in the circa 2014 Hawaiian kit. Presumably either new or modified wheels would be needed for the forthcoming 1/16 Jingle Jim Vega reissue, or all-new tires to match the existing wheels...or they could reissue it with the same American five-spokes and bear claw rear wheels as seen on the Hawaiian reissue and Green Elephant:
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.

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.

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.
