Me too!! Everybody builds Petty and Earnhardt. To me I like to learn about what I'm building!!

Body and paint look superb Gerald.

I'd love to see this in Petty blue or just all black! ?

[bbowser]

That is old school cool!

[yellowsportwagon]

Nice and obscure just how I like em

That is unique. Where did you get the kit/body?

Tim Stevens and I mastered and cast the body a couple years ago.

Would it be feasible/possible to make a "stock" version? Or, does the master have permanent NASCAR mods implemented in it such as larger wheel openings and spoilers? A 73 Cougar kit could be a possible donor.

It has all the NASCAR mods to the body. It was based on the Revell 76 Torino kit.

Me too, I enjoy the cars of independent owners and drivers. Sadly that era of NASCAR has come and gone.

Very interesting subject and your paint/decals look great.

[MarkJ]

Obscurity is a wonderful thing. I can't wait to see this one finished. The body looks excellent.

Really like the colors on this one, those Montego body's look perfectly done!!!
