bbowser Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 One of Neil Bonnett's earlier rides, the 'squarebird' from the Monogram kit. Tim Richmond, taken too young. Davey Allison, who knows how far he would have gone? Rest in peace.
Rob Z Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 All three are AWESOME!!! The Davey car is perfect, I think he would have been much bigger than his father and uncle. All three definately taken from this world too soon...
highway Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Very nice! I have a few of these memorial type builds in the plans myself, including many Dale Earnhardt cars, Neil Bonnett's car he drove for Dale Earnhardt (the car I believe was the one he was killed in), a couple of Davey's cars, and my all time personal favorite, the "Underbird" Alan Kulwicki drove to win his Winston Cup.

Neil Bonnett was killed while driving the Country time car in practice at Daytona , yellow and flouresent red . He did drive a mom and pops car for Richard Childress racing #31. Hoosier Tires were on his car which blew out and probably caused hids death.

I knew the Mom & Pops car, which is the one I have the decals for, had an Earnhardt connection, but didn't remember that it was actually a Childress ride.
TA462 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Neil only raced that Mom and Pops car twice, once at Talledega where he ended up flipping it and once at the season ending Atlanta race where he raced it for 3 laps and then parked it due to engine (cough) problems. Dale was racing for the Championship and they intended to park it to help Earnhardt in the points.
Monte's Motors Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 All look great The older the kits, the better those tons of decals stay together
