Still very cool, though. You did a nice job on this classic kit. Good job on saving the decals, some of those JoHan decals don't age well. Your masked paint lines are nice and crisp. Well done. 6 hours ago, jjsipes said: Looks great. Can't go wrong with Sox and Martin. I have a couple of these kits in my stash, just need time to get around to them. Thanks guys, much appreciated! Fun car overall. Paint base with flat white, use Tamiya tape, then clear after it all, tried and true process. Yes, sox n Martin never gets old! ?

Force Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 Nice. Sox & Martin had at least two Superbirds, one is the one you have relicated wich ran in Super Stock E and the other one ran in C Modified Production, I believe they were two different cars as one didn't have a vinyl top and the other had it. One thing is a bit confusing, Ronnies name was on the car allthough he didn't drive it in competition, it was driven by another S & M employee named Joe Fisher. 1
Mopar2 Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Sweet clean build..I use to watch Sox and Martin drag race when I was a kid.
Bills72sj Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 That turned out very nice. Great job on the paint. It might be too late now but the Keystone Klassics have black coloring around all the holes.
majel Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Very nice build of a cool car you don't see very often. Great job!

Thanks, yes to be honest I’m not that knowledgeable about these super birds of theirs, seems to be a lot more info available on their more famous cars?

The wheels looked more like Cragars to me instead of the proper Keystones that it should have, so I left them alone. Who knows lol ?

Bill Kloss Posted March 11, 2024 Posted March 11, 2024 Nice build! What red and blue paints did you use?
Rattlecan Dan Posted March 13, 2024 Posted March 13, 2024 Very nice job on a unique hot rod. Never got to see that one run. Nice job.
Tony Coomer Posted March 14, 2024 Posted March 14, 2024 Such a clean and nicely done build. Love those birds…

The blue is a bit too dark, and looks even darker in these pics, but looks ok in person. ?? 1
Sledsel Posted April 4, 2024 Posted April 4, 2024 Great Job! wish my painted stripes came out that good! 1

6bblbird Posted April 13, 2024 Posted April 13, 2024 I thought that I had previously commented on this build. I didn't, but I HAVE to! Super nice build. Extremely clean and well executed! Hope to see more. WF 1

I need to build the other one that he gave me for building this one for him. It really does look cool and different in person??
Chinacar Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 Great job! The Cuda guys may disagree but I think the Superbird was the pinnacle point of the Sox and Martin team. You executed it beautifully 1
