Swede Savage Trans Am AAR 'Cuda Hwy. 61 based project

VERY well done. Having seen the 1/1 in person ( past owner was from Lexington KY ) I can say in all honesty, that was one WICKED sounding small block -
Perfect, I will have to pick some of this paint up and do a spoon test. I have a project In mind for a color like this

Got a closeup pic of that.? I would love to see how much metallic is in it

Most , maybe even all the above please. As for the Bill Bagshaw cars, I'm baffled as to why no one has ever done the decals to do either of these is beyond me

Bobby Isaac Dodge Daytona built 30 years ago
gtx6970 replied to <profile removed>'s topic in WIP: NASCAR
Some one correct , but wasn't this kit produced a couple times. One where it had said door scoops and one where it had the correct depressions like on the 1/1 ? One with a somewhat stock chassis and one with a full nascar chassis Notice slightly different boxart -
wow, just plain WOW

Due to the design of the head on a Hemi, fenderwell headers are pretty much non-existant

Post retirement modeling
gtx6970 replied to misterNNL's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Ive got a few years before retirement yet. ( about 6 min and 10 max depending on my health ) We recently moved to southern AZ this past summer ( decided to make the move now as opposed to retirement time.) I landed a job at the Tucson Airport ( aka state retirement benefits to help with SS ) Wife god landed a job making 10K more than back in KY. This past Sept we purchased a townhouse / investment property / future retirement residence . Plan was live here till we get acclimated to the area . BUT, Just last weekend we put an actual house under contract, hope to close on it by the end of the month. Also Looking to purchase an old car next spring maybe,,early summer at the latest . So life is good. Im sure I'll tinker at the model bench a little here and there But Im afraid model cars will probably take a back seat for a while Once moved in and settled I plan to dig thru , sort out and go thru the stash and do some major house cleaning / thinning down big time . -
Might think about the pickup / go cart. the rest ,,,,meh!!!!

Agreed 100% Keep in mind ,,,These cars changed pretty much from race to race. So narrowing one car down to one race will be a little tough

This is the current restored version of the car ( not sure if its the 70 or 71 ) Be very cautious using modern pictures of cars for vintage references. That said, Im afraid I cant answer the op with any certainty on my end . And I have a boatload of S+M pictures but nuttin of the bottom side

I finally dug one out a year or so ago and built it. REALLY glad to have one personally. I love this kit and could care less if its 'accurate ' or not. Its from my youth ,,,which I want to retain and relive as best I can , while I can. Some of my builds I try to make reasonably close to accurate, but others I just try to have fun with . And these 2 were at the top of that list . And the same goes for the Sock it To Me 1962 Vette. There are far better versions of a 62 Vette out there. But this kits was just plain fun to build. And the 2 look killer beside one another in my case

Nice job on the conversion In the 1/1 world about the only power train that would have the 7.25 rear diff is a slant six car. even then the 8.34 would still been an option
