Reeves Racing Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Revell kit, aftermarket decals , Dupli-color paint. Mostly out of the box with plug wires.
highway Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Even though I can't stand either of the Busch brothers (hate 'em, hate 'em, hate 'em!!), you did a nice job on the car. How did you do the tape on the grille? I think this might be the first NASCAR I've seen with tape on the grille.
Scalper Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Nice build nice touches. Yeah the tape does look pretty cool.
ricky12 Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Nice job on this . I also think its a nice touch with the tape on the grill .
vaughn Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 tape on the grill ??? It comes with the kit !!! Or a no brainer !! Looks Good.......Did a Jimmie Johnson....
Reeves Racing Posted April 10, 2010 Author Posted April 10, 2010 Thanks everyone. The paint came out just how I had hoped. It wasn't until I posted the pictures that I noticed the two mold lines on the tops of the rear quarters near the spoiler that I forgot to sand off... and that some time between decaling the body and shooting the clear coat the "Lenox" decal on the right C pillar went AWOL... I can't stand Kurt's little brother either Highway. I used despise Kurt as well be he has mellowed with age and I kind of like him now. Smoke is my favorite driver though. If Danica ever comes over to NASCAR full time I will be a big fan of that beauty!!!! The tape on the grill is 1/4" 3M fine line masking tape. (it has a plasic base not a paper one) It didn't "come with the kit"???? The kit was Ryan Newman's Altell Intrepid no grill tape there... I used the same tape to make the pieces of tape on the tires to. I cut the lines in it with my exacto after I put it on the grill. I used the end of a paint brush handle to burnish it into the contours of the grill. There must have been some old paint on the end of the brush handle that transfered to the tape. I started to clean it off but then I thought it added character to the tape so I left it alone. Thx again, Mitch

Smoke is my favorite driver though. If Danica ever comes over to NASCAR full time I will be a big fan of that beauty!!!! Get ready to be a big fan, Mitch!! Danica is going to race in the Nationwide Series full time next year to get her ready for the Cup series. She's done good in the few races she's been in so far this year, and could have done better if she could have stayed out of everyone elses wrecks! My favorite is and always will be this driver: This is just a very small portion of my Dale Earnhardt collection, all the way from models to diecasts and pictures. Smoke is also one of my favorite current drivers. I even have an autographed diecast of his 2009 Burger King car from Daytona last summer I bought of the big home shopping network. I do agree with you that Kurt has mellowed with age, but he's still a Busch!
Railfreak78 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Great job! I agree I can't stand Kyle and hope he settles down. I couldn't stand Kurt at Roush but now that The Captain got a hold of him he is one of my favorite drivers. I've met him 2 times and have a bunch of autographs. I also was able to sit in his car once. Great job on a great car and Go Blue Duece at PIR Tomorrow!
AceofBass Posted April 14, 2010 Posted April 14, 2010 Awesome job on one of my favorite cars. Rusty Wallace is one of my favorite all-time drivers so this car is extra cool to me. Also, I am actually a Busch bros. fan. Kyle wasn't too bad this weekend other than those restarts in the Nationwide race that he won.
beefheart22 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 The 2 Miller car has always been a beauty. Your build captures it well.
Railfreak78 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I just found out on Facebook that Kurt is going to be pulled from the car and put in a sister Penske car. Brad K will take over the 2. Kurt will be sponsored by Pennzoil. Grrr Kurt has ran great the last few years and deserves the Blue Duece! Sorry I figured any Kurt fans should know.
Reeves Racing Posted April 24, 2010 Author Posted April 24, 2010 They should put Brad K, Kyle Busch and Jimmy Johnson all on one team then I could focus my ill will all on one team instead of having to spread it out.. LOL I will be sad to see Kurt out of the 2 but Rusty fans probably felt the same way back in the day when Kurt took over...
