1988 Ricky Rudd Quaker State Buick

Started this one a few months ago, haven't taken hardly any photos so far.  I am using a newer seat, so I cut out the headrest in the cage.  I also added the front radiator support with some square tubing.  Looks good, but I have to relocate the top oil line on the oil cooler for it to fit.

Love the earlier Monogram nascar kits. Are you building the Rudd car or something else?

I built that car for my 1988 collection.  Be warned kit decals are poor. I used 3 different sets to do mine.

I like what you’re doing with this kit. The Monogram Buicks are some of my favorite NASCAR kits.

If you are going to do the Rudd car, Mike's Decals has the Powerslide sheet for that car, and I noticed it's on sale at the moment.

I like these Buicks, too.  I built the High Life Bobby Allison car a few years ago.   I got the power slide decals, and painted the car with Tamiya Park Green.  The gold section on the rear bumper is Tamiya gold, and its almost a perfect match with the decals.  The gold stripes on the front were tricky, I had to cut them to angle them down, while still lining up the black trim, and I'm happy with how they turned out.
