yellowsportwagon Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) This is a old Bandit Resin Montego GT that I'm going to do as Dicks Puro racing car from the 1975 Daytona 500. Edited January 12, 2017 by yellowsportwagon
yellowsportwagon Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 i will resize some more pictures and post them tomorrow.
satterwhite78 Posted January 11, 2017 Posted January 11, 2017 Scary!!!.........I also so have the resin Montego, decals but not the paint just yet! On my to do list for 2017. You sure you're not missing a twin?
yellowsportwagon Posted January 11, 2017 Author Posted January 11, 2017 I bought the body awhile ago but couldn't find the old Cherry Run Decals anywhere. I just had a set of decals custom made because this is my favorite stock car ever. Let alone it is a Montego GT one of my favorite cars ever.
yellowsportwagon Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) First things first is to make the wheelwells look like the real car by adding some small flares.i also removed all the old primer.Lastly primed and modified the rear of the frt wheel opening to look like the picture.

yellowsportwagon Posted January 12, 2017 Author Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) Next is to stretch a Thunderbird chassis. A small notch must be made in the frame to locate the firewall the same distance forward as the chassis was stretched. Edited January 12, 2017 by yellowsportwagon
