That is awesome!  Great patina, love the 6-banger.  Was this modeled after a real Junior car?

Thanks to Mark J for posting this for me. I cut the top off the AMT 56 Ford raised it about 3/32 and made the c pillows used the grille out of the Jukebox 55 Ford and made the front pan to hold the bumper. The 6 cylinder is out of Moebius 69 Ford truck. I made the 4 barrel intake and distributor the grease rags on the breathers is a red party napkin. This is a model of a hobby car the Jr. Johnson ran at the New Ashville Speedway in 1965 when Ford boycotted NASCAR. Jr's Mechanic drove the car. The only picture I could find was a news paper picture of the car on a ramp truck. It is not a super detailed car but I enjoyed building it hope you enjoy.
