Very kewl Dan , excellent paint and detailing ! Good call not making it a roadster , looks much better this way !

Beautiful Woody Dave , love the polished yellow plastic ! The '32 grille looks right at home and great work on the decals , there's a small learning curve printing your own but those look excellent to me !

Well done Tony , looks great in red ! Don't models look so much better with separate windshield wipers instead of having them molded in ? Why they all aren't like this I can't understand .

Lookin' great so far John , love those eyelashes !

Thanks DW ! I have that pic somewhere but forgot I had it , I think that smaller pic you posted is a restored car not the race car . I also found this shot from the '71 Daytona 500 . . . guess I'm adding the headrest !

I like this one ! Can I choose which exhaust I get ?

Thanks John ! Yeah those sink marks on the rear bumper are pretty bad , they should have caught those . I was going to add the headrest but decided not to , from all the pics I've looked at it's in the restored cars and museum cars but wasn't actually in the '71 race car . . . I'm sure if I'm wrong somebody here will let me know .

Thanks JC !

Not perfect ? It looks mighty nice to me , great job !

Beautifully done Tony , I'm sure your Grandfather would love it ! I agree the promo chassis looks cool !

Beautifully done Mark !

Thanks very much Jim , appreciate that ! Thanks Gareth ! I've got the "Fired Up" Zinger Van yet to build .

Thanks Mario , we need more Ranchero kits ! Thanks much Bill ! Thanks much Tommy ! I'm hoping to finish another one-off this year . Thanks very much Tim ! I've always had trouble taking decent photos so I've been working hard to improve .

Thanks Steve ! It's a little darker than I wanted , probably should have gone with a gold engine . Thanks Bill , they are ! I actually did a few more but didn't show them here . Thanks much Carl ! Thanks Craig !

That looks great !!

Well done Steve , that's one great looking van and those decals are really cool !! Where did you get the Testors Decal Bonder ?

I missed this one too ! Wow that's some nice paint work , well done Tim ! I saw him race at Daytona a coupe of times in the early 70's and got his autograph at the '75 500 , such a nice guy who really enjoyed racing .

Beautiful work Jason , those colors are gorgeous together ! I can appreciate that you'd do some things different but we're all our own worst critics , it really turned out great .

Very cool collection David , I like all of them !

That's got to be the cleanest and best looking build of this kit I've seen , and it's David Pearson's car ! The colors and decals look great , very nice work !

Really like the look of this one Bernard ! With your choice of parts and the finish you've really captured the spirit of these great old race cars , very well done !

Sharp looking Chevelle ! Great colors and detailing , also like the your engine choice and the Rally wheels , a real sleeper !

Thanks Mark ! I never planned on the extra detailing , it just sort of happened . I've been making hinges using brass rod & tubing for many years , usually attaching them to the underside of the body . Because of the way this kit is designed I had to mount the hood hinge inside the dash/firewall , it actually worked out very well !

Thanks Dave ! I agree with what you are saying but just about every kit I've built has had some kind of issue regardless of the manufacturer . I'm so used to modifying things that when there is an issue like the hood clearance I just deal with it and move on , it's part of the hobby . . . just me I guess . If I had a complaint it would be the old MPC style chassis and suspension but even that won't keep me from buying another kit from them .

When I started back on this yesterday I realized that the master cylinder in the kit is wrong . All of the photos I've seen have an early single reservoir master cylinder mounted on a reinforcement plate of some kind , so I spent an hour or so fabricating one . Here's the firewall with the new parts in place .
