Beautifully done, Mark!

I love those old NASCAR racers! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice model, Mark! I really enjoy seeing some of the old "Dark Side" Nascar builds. They are a bit before my time but I always find them interesting. Your '56 is very clean and bright!

Another great build, Mark. I love your choice of subjects and the execution is flawless. Thanks for sharing and keep 'em coming!

[Tony T]

[Haubenschild]

That is one great looking nascar!

WooHoo, this looks very good. I like the paintjob very much, shiny and smooth. Decals fit very nicely, and great job with that side trim. I like the stance, great job with it. Wheels and tires are great also. Really beautiful NASCAR racer, I'd like to build one older Nascar from the 40's or 50's. Maybe early 60's too.

Awesome. Heaps of character.

[Terry Jessee]

Wow. That is beautifully done.

[Danno]

Mark, What a outstanding job

[Sixties Sam]

I'm not a real NASCAR fan, but I like models of the old cars from when stock car racing used basically stock cars. This Ford is a beauty! Great work!

Nice job. Love the "old" racers. Yours looks awesome. As a side note, I live in Roanoke, Va, where Curtis was from. Never met him though.
