post your petty cars

[shafer]

being the petty fan i am , i am requesting you to post some of your petty builds here so i can steal some ideas, currently i have 9 new petty cars in the works.

[bbowser]

I'll throw one in. This is one of the first cars I did after getting back into the hobby, late '80s-early '90s. It's showing its age but still a favorite none the less.

Okay , I have a few Petty cars to share with you .

The first one is an original MPC Petty Plymouth that I built in 1972 . The kit didn't have the STP decals so I did some hand painting . This is how it looks today , unrestored .

[TooOld]

This is an MPC Petty Charger that I built in 1973 . I've taken it apart and started a rebuild using only the original parts .

[TooOld]

This one is a mess ! The JoHan Petty Superbird built in '70 or '71 . Wrong color , straws for exhaust , aluminum foil on the firewall ?

I'll rebuild it one day .

And last is a kit I probably will never build . Purchased in the mid 80's , I'll wait for the reissue to build one .

I love seeing those vintage kits, I plan on building 2 of the 1/16 kits when they come out, leaving 1 clear and putting a paint job on the other

Nice work Scott. Those are some clean looking cars. I especially like that last one, never seen that blue/white scheme.

I like that white and blue was ran at the july daytona race in 1968

[Scottnkat]

Thanks, guys - those last couple were taken with my old camera and the color is a little off. I liked the blue and white one also, but I never did find out why the number on the roof was off-center. If anyone knows, I'd be curious to find out if there was a reason for it.
