Dale Earnhardt's 1990 Lumina

[Jay]

I built this to represent Earnhardt's Daytona upset car... blown tire on the last lap.  I made a lot of body mods and such to get this to look like a speedway car.  Paint is is Tamiya black polished out with no clear and the decals are from Powerslide.  I also made the blown tire!

Very Nice build!!!   Excellent representation! 

Not everyone liked to watch him.......but "Everyone" looked to see where he was!

NASCAR......Never been the same or ever will be......since his demise.

I used a Motorworks pit tool set for the tire... basically, I cut it up with sprue cutters and an X-Acto blade and then glued black thread around it to make it look like the cords.

Beautiful build! Subtle tire sidewall weathering really makes it. Masterwork.

Looks awesome Jay... you need to do a video series on YT so I can learn how you do it

Great looking build sir.

[Roadracer]

WOW! Fantastic work!

[THORDOOR220]

That's awesome. I might have to try to build one, see if I can come close to yours. Probably won't quite get there, that's pretty good, but worth a shot
