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!

The decals are harder to work since they are older but I'm glad they aren't falling apart.

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!

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.

Great job! Ya won the pole first time out.

I have one on the back burner. Been thinking of doing full detail and plumbing, but as I looked at reference photos I am rethinking it. Would take me a year to do.

Thanks! Im working on another stock car now and was thinking along the same lines but feel the same way! Lol. Im trying to get a few more builds under my belt before I start tackling the more advanced techniques.

First NASCAR build? Looks like you nailed it! Nice looking model.

Thanks for the kind words! I had and uncle that passed a few years back and was a huge Allison fan and an incredible model builder,I had lots of inspiration. I tried to make him proud!
