1964 A.J.Foyt Dodge

[MarkJ]

Foyt won the 64 Daytona Firecracker 400 in the car that this model replicates (sort of). Johan kit , Tamiya paint, lots of scratchbuilt stuff, homemade decals and PPP wheels and tires.

Fixed some photobucket links posted this originally in 2011

Great job Mark! As I stated in the build thread I'm a big A.J. fan. I remember watching the '64 Firecracker 400, as a Ford fan I souldn't have been cheering for A.J. to win, but I was!

Great job on it! This might be the best model you've done, I think. It's so great looking! Paintjob is nice, and engine looks really realistic. Wheels and tires are nice too. Chassis is nice, there's nothing wrong with it. This one was really nice to follow, keep these coming, great to see some Old NASCARS too, not only the new ones.

Very nice job on this one, Mark! I agree, it is good to see some of the older Nascars on here. Keep up the great work. This one is a Beaut!

Add me to the list of admirers. Great job on an obscure subject. Old farts like me remember, but it's good to expose the younger folks to a little history.

Very nice build!! I love those 60s era NASCARS. I especially like the details on the tires, and the stance with the rear "slightly" higher. Nice Model!!!!

Great looking build, Mark, I love these old Nichels cars, would truly be interested in these decals! Anyway, a great looking race car. Maybe I will post my two team cars!

[MarkJ]

Slim, I do not think you would like my decals. They are ink jet printed on testors white paper. you have to cut them out exactly on their edge and then touch up the edge of the decal or a white border will appear around the decal. I wish some one would come up with a printer other than alps that would print with white ink. I could then print on clear paper and feel good about selling my decals.

Looks great. Love these old Dodge stock cars. Great job

Very nice build. One of the few times AJ drove a Dodge. Did you know Junior Johnson also drove a Dodge for part or maybe all of 1964 for Ray Nicholls too?

[Danno]

Nice!!!

Actually Junior drove the Ray Fox #3 Dodge early in the season before he switched to the #27 Ford in 1964.

[Slim Louis]

OK Mark, Thanks for replying, I know what you are talking about. Making decals (ink jet, too) is my favorite hobby within a hobby.

[Truck parts]

HAVE ALWAYS LIKE A.J..VERY NICE LOOKING CAR

Here's some pictures of AJ in this car in USAC, Milwaukee, on dirt, Langhorne for your enjoyment.
