gks1964 Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Trying to build this car that he drove at the World 600 in 1976.
gks1964 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Posted December 16, 2020 I'm using an AMT T-Bird chassis under it. I've learned a lot about stretching the chassis rebuilding the roll cage, building the dash and modifying other parts of the chassis. I used Tim's (yellowsportswagen's) WIP and question that he answered for me. Thank you Tim!!
Captain Spaulding Posted December 16, 2020 Posted December 16, 2020 Looking good so far, always good seeing one of Dale's lesser known rides being built.

gks1964 Posted January 18, 2021 Author Posted January 18, 2021 Finally got some paint, decals and clear on her!
Captain Spaulding Posted January 18, 2021 Posted January 18, 2021 Looks good painted and with the decals.
Mattilacken Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Beautifull! I am also buildning same body and chassis.. but totaly new to nascars and this type of modifications. do you have a link to the wip you where reffering to? I am building mine more like roadkil Nascarlo, A retired nascar made to run on the streets ?
gks1964 Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 I learned to do this chassis from Tim Stevens (Yellowsportswagon) his WIP of Janet Guthrie's Laguna was what I followed!
Mattilacken Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Cool Thanks! Se how he sorted my problem with the chassis.. he just replaces the dash instead of reusing the T-bird stuf.
