Jim Hurtubise 79 Daytona Buick Century

[DoctorLarry]

Here  is another one hit wonder (the car, not the driver). This was evidently a one race only Buick Century driven by long time race driver Jim Hurtubise. It is the only photo I can find (Getty Images) from Daytona in 1979. My own resin NASCAR Century, stretched T Bird chassis, 10 hole wheels and tires from the T Bird kit (Elliott Coors) and some random touch up paint from my garage. NASCAR engine from an Olds kit. My usual plumbing and detailing just because I like doing it. Decals from my printer (they are pretty simple).

Obscure for sure!!!!

My favorite type!

DNQ for the Daytona race. Sponsored by Global Debt Enhancer.

I saw that- funny name for a sponsor "Debt Enhancer". Not a great marketing department but an interesting car.

Is that resin body still available ? I’d like to build a Dale Earnhardt version of that car. 

[DoctorLarry]

Earnhardt's car was a formal roof car.

Did a little body prep and shot some paint:

Beautiful paint. 

[DoctorLarry]

A little auto touch up and some Rust-Oleum clear lacquer. Cheap. dries quickly and good shine. I know Tim likes 2K urethane but that's a little overkill for me.

[Ceaser_Salad]

What paint is that?

[DoctorLarry]

It's an auto touch up color-I'll post it later tonight.
