1967 was the year he won 27 races. That's why I wanted to do this build.

That was before I was born.. 27.. sounds like he won them all.

Great job Mark.  That blue is really vibrant.

What blue did you use Mark?

Back in those days they ran 50-60 times a year, that's how RP was able to rack up 200 wins.  IMO David Pearson's 105 wins are much more impressive because he ran a limited schedule most of his career.

Nice one Tom.. I didn't even know RP drove some of these cars because it is before I remember.

I have 7 Petty builds from 1964 to 1993.  Hear are a few of my favorites.  The '68 is special because it was given to me as a basket case by a fellow modeler who has since passed away.  The 68 is a '69 Johan.  The other two are MPC.

I am currently working on the '65 Barracuda drag car.

Hey Guys, Those are some awesome Petty builds! I  just wanted to share my Petty builds and pic a really cool old race car book that I got as a kid back in 1974 showing Richard Petty on the cover.

could you post some pics of the cuda...ive got one that ive stalled out on but would love to see your progress...according to my research this car had several different induction set ups and diff rims and lettering.

I'm building the altered wheelbase, fuel injected version of the Barracuda.  I'm using an original AMT kit, and cut up a resin body for parts and pieces.  The Rat Packer AWB chassis fits the wheelbase nicely, but the front track was too narrow.  I had to widen the frame and front axle.  You can see the front axle in the background.  It's still very rough.
