Nice work.  Where did you get the nice tires?

[Hobbyguy]

Hi AFX they are from plastic performance products 60-64 tires and rims available from Mike's decals. Thx.

Very very nice build sir! Kudos for spending time replicating the chassis as Junior built it.

What materials do you use for door panels (I love the texture) and radiator hoses?

One of my favorites from when NASCAR was fun for me to watch! Beautiful car.

What is the small square piece in the far left tail light on the drivers side?

[Hobbyguy]

Hi it is the fuel overflow. 

Thanks for looking

[Hobbyguy]

Hi Pierre thanks the door panels are made by gluing cigarette paper foil on them it conforms to surfaces quite well. The radiator hoses are made by wrapping fine beading wire around aluminum tube and then covering with teflon tape and painted flat black.

Okay, thanks for letting me know the fuel overflow.

Nicely done replica of Junior's Chevy. That wonderful era when stock cars were still (sort of) stock. Nice period detailing. Great looking model.

Nice looking build there. I have been planning on building one for my collection for some time now but, just haven't gotten to it yet. Nice conversation to the long truck arms for the rear suspension.
