Curtis Turner's 1958 Convertible

[curt raitz]

Just finished a model of the 1958 Ford Convertible Curtis Turner drove in the NASCAR Convertible Racing Series.

Body is resin from Star Models, used the 1957 chassis, engine, driveline, interior, wheels and tires from the Revell "Fireball" Roberts '57 Ford kit #85-4024.

Paint is Tamiya TS-14 Black, decals are from my buddy Steve.

After the NNL West, this model will be placed in the Curtis Turner display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia

Thanx for lookin'...

Turned out great. Never new they raced convertibles...nice, racing with the top down, wind on your head, sun in your face, doesn't get any better than that.
