yellowsportwagon Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Butchs 71 Charger Salvinos kit with my own grilles windshield and exhaust pipes. Powerslide decals.
Foghorn Leghorn Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 That's some excellent work! Neatly done! Think i found the pic you referenced for decal placement.....I wonder if Nascar really let him run with contingency decals on the doors?
james220 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Looks very nice. I'm working on a Hartman dodge also. It will be box stock. Did you use Camel yellow? Decals are probably ARCA.

They had looser rules than NASCAR did. The front spoiler alone would have disqualified it from nascar.

I'd still love to have it for myself for 30 minutes up until it ran out of gas.

Decals are probably ARCA. I used gm code wa9414. And tinted it to be redder than it was originally. Decals are from Powerslide.
gks1964 Posted June 23, 2021 Posted June 23, 2021 Excellent as always!! You may make me build a Salvinos kit!!

sflam123 Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Excellent build!! I got to see this car run a few times. Butch was a multi-time USAC champion and his equipment was always well maintained. Yeah, I'm THAT OLD!!
David G. Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 That's beautiful, everything looks spot-on! David G.
Pierre Rivard Posted June 25, 2021 Posted June 25, 2021 Congrats sir! A perfect rendition of a beautiful race car. What are the engines like on this kit relative to the generic stuff they have on their 70's GM offerings?
