1976 caprice demolition derby car

[38special]

Here is a 1976 caprice i built in about two weeks or so. I have been out of the model scene for around a year now and decided to get back into it. I warmed my skills back up with this quick build

looks great, i especially like the upward curve of the rear end, looks like you studied the subject well before building it

is it all plastic or were some body panels replaced with pie tins to get the dents to looks so good ?

[38special]

its all plastic. i haven't had much luck with aluminum foil

Charles, welcome to the forum, and THANK YOU for sharing this build and the unique subject matter. I tell you, it looks just right to me. The weathering on the interior details is spot on. Excellent.

Charles, I think I recognize your work. Were you at the show at Hobbytown in Lexington in '08 or '09? There was a very young (early-mid teens) guy there that brought some really nice demo cars. His models had the same rear tires as your build and a lot of the other details that yours does. Nice work either way.

Oh yea its no big deal or anything i didn't know it displayed my full name on here. But i go by gunner. it's no big deal i was just thrown off when you posted charles. i had to think who it was lol. i felt like a retard
