yellowsportwagon Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Built this for the son of the driver/car owner. Haven’t done a stock car in a while. Johan body on an AMT chassis with Johan headers. Custom decals PPP tires. Tomorrow I have to bring it to his house. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 That is excellent, looks like a real stock car. Very obscure too. Questions: What paint was used, what did you use for the tire stripes? Are those the decals that come with the PPP tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyK Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Looks very sharp. Those decals around the wheel wells had to be fun. 😟 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Tim, another awesome build from your bench and I'm sure the recipient of it will be very happy to get it. Let me take a wild guess here, that car was an ex-Petty Plymouth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s Tamiya TS23 and the decals are from the tires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaddyDaddy Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hey Tim.......you can solve I problem I’ve been facing for a long time: where did you get those numbers? I’ve been trying to find outlined gold leaf or silver leaf numbers for eons! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 I started watching the USAC series in 1983 on TNT. They ran on dirt and pavement. At that time they were running 1979-ish Monte Carlos with 427 power under the hood. I still catch them on cable, channel 810 on Fios.

sflam123 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I probably saw this car race! I went to several USAC stock car shows, both dirt and pavement in the late 60's and early 70's. You did a great job with capturing the "feel" of that era in USAC stock car racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtop Man Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 That there is a race car. Got all the feels right on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
