Rolled her out for a few shots in the sun today and thought you might like to see one.

Thanks, but if I wanted it to stay looking good I probably shouldn't have mixed it with Bobby Allison and red dirt. Not to mention Richard, Hutch and Pearson. LOL

You'd never guess it's red primer on styrofoam with a strip of corrugated cardboard for a steel guard rail, would you?

Since you liked the Andretti Fairlane, just as soon as I get it dialed in you're up next for some hot laps. Better get your helmet.

It's the original issue Ertl '66 Fairlane kit. I did some work for Ertl back then and they sent me a case of them. I've done several Grand Nationals and a couple of dirt cars with'em. Builds up into a pretty neat little race car using the cage and front clip from the Monogram Nascar kit and some tricks I learned from Ralph Moody.

They are all great looking builds, I have the kit and the decals, someday, soon!

Love to hear the tricks you learned from Ralph if you care to share!
