Thanks Tony ! So many years ago . . . I wouldn't attempt it today . Thanks much Dan ! Actually it's the wrong color , should be Poppy Red but I didn't know any better back then .

Thanks Rex ! Thanks Dave ! I've been wanting to build the Cup K & K Dodge myself , look forward to yours . Thank you Bruce ! Thanks Larry !

Thanks very much Sean ! Now that you've done the math I can't believe it's been 38 years !

Super nice and really a cleanly built model of one of the best looking cars of it's era , great job !

That looks sooooo much better than it sounds and that color is really sharp , I like it ! Great job Pat !

The lighter light shade of blue looks great to me , it really shows in the last group photo ! Great work John !

I built this back in 1986 using a Dukes Of Hazzard kit I found at a local K-Mart , I also bought a couple of cans of Testors spray paint and several small bottles of Testors enamel . With no other supplies available I ended up using balsa wood for the nose and wing and to fill the rear window , everything else was done just using stuff I had around the house . Back in '86 there were no aftermarket decals available so everything was hand painted . . . something I couldn't possibly do today . On Nov . 24 , 1970 Isaac set a 1 lap record of 201.104 during a test at Talladega with this car . A few months later at Bonneville , Isaac drove this car to 28 Land Speed Records , including 4 World Records . My build represents the way it was painted for the Bonneville trials with 1971 style numbers . The names on the stripe are the crew members that built the car and were added after it set the records , Harry Hyde personally painted the lightning bolt on the wing . Isaac was the 2nd driver to exceed 200 mph in a stock car on a closed course . Buddy Baker was the 1st . After sitting in a case for more than 30 years it was in need of some repairs and a good cleaning . Afterwards I took these new photos . Thanks for looking ! This is the Circle Track article and the only photos I had for reference .

Beautiful woodwork and the rivets are a nice touch , well done !

I like the flat finish and that tach is cool ! Nice one Pat !

Cool idea , looks great Pat !

Thanks Dave ! Thanks Andy ! Thanks Ken !

One sharp looking race car , great job Benny !

Very cool and a great example of an early modified racer ! Reminds me of the car my brother-in-law raced in these parts back in the 70's . Well done !

Sharp looking Charger Jim , well done ! I remember as a kid seeing these on the dealer's lot for the first time , really thought my Dad was going to buy one .

Very sharp looking Cutlass , especially in that red ! And the faux T-tops is a pretty interesting idea , well done !

I can't say that I'd buy one but that's some pretty impressive body work and a cool idea , well done Claude !

Wow that looks cool with all of those Cheetahs lined up next to each other ! I sold most of my Aurora slot car stuff years ago but saved a few including an orange Cheetah , one of my favorites !

Wow that's one sharp Nova ! Beautiful work Cody and welcome to the forum !

Beautiful Monte Carlo , well done David !

Excellent conversion , well done !

One of my favorite body styles and it looks awesome in purple ! Well done John !

Welcome back Mario ! Great job on both of these , I really like the whole opposite thing !

That's purty ! Super clean and just beautifully done , excellent job Tony !

Thanks Larry ! Thanks much Kurt ! I found this one when prices were still reasonable , now they're way out of reach !

Beautifully done John ! I followed along your WIP and saved it for future reference , excellent work !
