Please tell me again...,

How can it be "scratchbuilt" if it was built from a kit?

I don't think the tires sticking out past the body sides would ever have made it past NASCAR tech inspections.

maybe it is my interpretaition of the definition. This kit is not a dedicated Petty roadrunner parts were from a roadrunner kit, amt ford tbird kit , amt nascar kit for wheels, yes some of the roll cage is scratch built, as were the headlight, tailight covers, and rear spoiler some of this kit even came from a dodge dart dragcar kit.

I beleive if a kit doesn't exist and you make it with what you have available then it is scratch built. I could be wrong.

I know - stock car tires and wheels are too big but it would not do to use street tires on an after 1969 racecar, as stated in the 1st post , it is not exact , it is just a representation. thanks for all the comments on this kit. I have other petty kits in the works

Interpretation of a definition? Hmmm...

The correct definition of scratchbuilt is that the builder made the parts from raw materials.

Just sourcing parts from other kits and combining them to make something that is not a factory produced kit is actually called kitbashing.
