USAC Superbee

[yellowsportwagon]

This is thr beginnings of George Geisen's USAC Superbee. It has a MPC 70 nose grafted to a 68 resin rear. A resin pitchfork hood too. Lots to do on the chassis yet but I think the body looks good so far.

I like it!  Where did you source the decals?

Excellent splatter paint. Could you describe your process. The build I'm doing now, really should have a part of it splatter painted, but I don't have a clue how to do it successfully.

[yellowsportwagon]

Mark it is really pretty easy. I paint the floors gray first. Then I mist some black on from about 18" away. Then do the same with the white. If it ends up looking to white and black mist a little gray on from 18". This is what I use.

Thanks, Tim. I will have to try that on a scrap piece of plastic and see what I can do.

This is looking really cool! Really like the color combo on it

[DumpyDan]

This looks like a really cool project Tim

Finally got this done.

[MarkJ]

Wow, Excellent build. Awesome in every way.

[yellowsportwagon]

Thanks Mark I always like yours too.

Beautiful build.  Like everything you have done with it.  That exhaust system really threw me off since most circle trackers have it running out the side.

A few USAC  guys ran them out the back in the early 70s. Part of hat makes the car cool. Wierd how they ran them under the axle too.

Good looking Superbee. Nice interior, engine and that hood is fine detail.

Plus, I imagine the heat may have an effect on someone drafting; just running out a thought.

Exactly a few guys tried it in NASCAR but they said no to it.
