I have a life long friend that has been drag racing since returning from military duty in Viet Nam in the late 60s.   He has become a local legend, and this is how I chose to pay my respects to him.   I built a 1964 Dodge model of the car that he raced in 1971, along with a facade of the Dodge dealer building as it looked in the same year.    I used STS decals, instead of trying to mask and paint my own, which was a very wise choice.   I also had my work cut out reworking the front bumper.   It seemed like e very simple job, but there was a line where I filled around the front bumper that just didn't want to go away.    It was presented to him this morning, and the smile it brought to his face was worth every second that I put into the model.
