kmjmusic Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) This is my first stock car build. I lucked up and found 4 different stock car kits at a local consignment mall @ $3 each! So needless to say I'm pumped! Edited June 7, 2015 by kmjmusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmjmusic Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) The decals are harder to work since they are older but I'm glad they aren't falling apart. Edited June 7, 2015 by kmjmusic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Very nice so far. Built that kit ages ago. I remember the gold decals looking so good it looked plated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmjmusic Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks for the kind words! I got side tracked by the Dale Jarret interstate lumina which Im going to be posting in the next few days. Gonna try to get more done on this one soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmjmusic Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 The hood is done with some clear on it. I was worried about the decals wrinkling up but they seem to have accepted the clear rather well. Now off to get rest of the body done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledsel Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Great job! Ya won the pole first time out. I have one on the back burner.
