Phantom Nascar Truck

[PatW]

Having bought a NASCAR TRUCK body sometime ago I thought it was time to tackle a build. I bought a relatively cheap car kit from ebay, I started the build. This is so far having modified the chassis to fit.

Now finished using parts and decals from the Monogram  Chevy Lumina kit.

Looks great Pat, I always was a fan of the truck series.

Thanks Shoopdog, Yes I'm a fan of the Nascar Truck series, but we don't get coverage here in the UK anymore, only the cars!

Cool!

Excellent job, Pat. Too bad Salvino's doesn't do the present-day truck series like they do the Next gen cars. I would definitely like to do one of those.

[PatW]

Thanks guys. Yes if only we could get new series Nascar Trucks.

Someone on eBay prints the newer bodies, I'll see if I can link to one. I scored a bunch of Monogram truck kits at a close out years ago for $1.98 each... a shopping cart holds 40 of them. I still have about 12 left and some AMT kits. I did a phantom to the Pearson #17 car and Andretti's #11 car.

Thanks guys. Interesting bobss396, importing kits to the UK is at present expensive, some asking $40 or more just for shipping. Interested to see the 3D printed bodies though, thanks.

Outside of my stash, I rarely see any Craftsman kits in stores. I see them at shows and eBay and the prices are up there.  I just did an eBay search and the only truck kits are 1/32 scale for slot car bodies.

Cheers bobss396.

Super nice Pat!

I build phantoms too. I did a Mario Andretti one, blue and gold. Also a Terry Labonte MW Windows one.

great job, did an old #43 Richard Petty Dodge truck build, anybody can drive trucks. If you build it they will drive it, in your mind at least, great job

[PatW]

Thanks guys, for all of your input!

Cheers Steve, I'm now trying to use the Lumina body left over  plus bits to build a Nascar no.46!
