First completed Salvino’s JR kit - 71 Petty Plymouth

Really messed up the rear glass with super glue on final assembly.  Oh well have to do better next time 😜

Looks great! A word of wisdom from someone who’s ruined their share of windows. After watching numerous videos on YouTube I found out about “Aileen’s Clear Gel Tacky Glue” and “Mod Podge”, both work great and dry clear without damaging your windows! Also they’re both available at Walmart, Hobby Lobby, and most craft stores.

I tried Micro Crystal Clear to glue the windows in,  but they didn’t stay too well that was the first problem.  Second problem is when I caught the window with chassis with super glue trying to glue the chassis to the body.  Oh well.

Looks great, can't go wrong with a model of the King.

[Rattlecan Dan]

Very nice. Looks great.

Looks real good.  I think most all of us have been there with super glue and clear plastic.

Looks great quick tip I use Elmer's clear glue if you get any on the windows it cleans up with water

Very nice build!

Glass is one of those things to think about very early in a build. Test fit if course. I usually make up tabs inside the body so it doesn't skate around.

Nice job..! Any more pics..?

I have this kit in the stash and just got the '72 Plymouth Riverside winner. I may decide to build them side by side since they are pretty much the same other than the decals.

I also have the '74 Charger that I saw in person winning at Talladega and am currently building the Lindberg '64 Belvedere.

I am not a Petty "Superfan" but these late '60s and early to mid '70s NASCAR cars bring me back to memories of watching ABC's Wide World of Sports when they occasionally televised racing.

These Salvino's kits have warts and I count on you guys to point them out before I crack one open.
