ranma Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 While racing at Sears Point International raceway, Kyle was clipped on the right rear by Johnny Benson. Benson had a tire go down which forced him into Petty's car, and caused Petty to lose control. Petty glanced off a retaining wall smashing the left front of his #44 Pontiac.

MarkJ Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Wow, Rick. Awesome job on simulating bent sheetmetal. Would love to watch your process. Was that a particular crash from a particular race? Also, great job on the flatbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that a particular crash from a particular race? Also, great job on the flatbed. The process was rather easy heat from a lighter and bending it by hand/and small sprew cutter's. The roll back is a die cast bought off ebay. Made the back story up about Sears Point , But being a road course race one never know's.

TarheelRick Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 Probably one of Kyle's "better" days, never was much of a driver. Beautiful work on that damage, looks very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
