bobss396 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 This one I dug out to take to a recent club meeting. It was built in 2001, the gun metal roof paint was done on 9/11/2001. Body is Monogram from something I built around 1996 and didn't like. The chassis is from a Monogram Tim Richmond kit. The blue paint is from MCW and I air brushed it. It still shows well considering how old it is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volzfan59 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 WOW Bob, that car looks great! I like everything about it, especially the color combination. Did you have to do a lot of modifications for fitment? The '55, '56 and '57 had such high roofs, I figured that you might have had to extend the A and B pillar bars? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cut the top off the cage and made an entirely new one. I have to look for progress pictures of the car. I found one from the NNL East either in 2000 or 2001.

MarkJ Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Great build, Bob. Thanks for, as you say, digging it out and exposing it to a lot of us who have never seen it before. Excellent build and really enjoy your choice of colors on this one. The paint and decals have held up well in storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me about a solid year to fully complete the build. Thanks for the compliments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobss396 Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 Now I recall, I started that one on 2/18/2001, the day that Dale Sr. was killed at Daytona. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 That has held up amazingly well. The decals look right for a local racer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BK9300 Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 A great looking car - lots of detail in the engine bay, right down to the screen protecting the rad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Excellent build. Tri-5 Chevies make outstanding short track cars. This one is a perfect example of what a short-track car should look like. Mighty sweet for a 23-year-old build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
