bhgseve Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 My first official post here on the forum! 2 1/2 year project of Shane Stewart's 2012 Knoxville 360 Nationals winning sprint car. Mostly scratchbuilt model, only used around 20 parts from the kit, the rest was scratchbuilt or an aftermarket part. The frame and body panels were scratchbuilt, and had some help from my good friend Mark Johnson building the fuel injection and valve covers, which turned out great! Used parts from The Parts Box, RB Motion, Dirtmodeler, Scale Hardware, Detail Master, Protech, & Micro Nitro to complete the build, and decals from Scale Sprints. I left the left front wheel off of the hub to display the Scale Hardware nuts and bolts on the hub, and to show the brake detail. Thanks for looking!

bbowser Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 Beautiful, very nice clean work. Is that 1/24? The Monogram kit?
slider51 Posted August 30, 2015 Posted August 30, 2015 That is one awesome build!Love my sprint cars!I attend Williams Grove Speedway on weekly basis!
bhgseve Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks for the nice comments guys, I appreciate them! Yes, 1/24th scale based off of the Monogram kit. That kit is so outdated I tried to update as much as I could on it to make it current.I attend Knoxville weekly as well, one of these days I will make it out to the Grove!
