pa3de8 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 That looks great Joey! Being a Sr. fan myself, that was one of my favorite cars too. I have a collectible diecast of the "Pass in the Grass" of that car. Always wanted to build that kit. Did indeed have it at one time but when I stepped away from the hobby it went away with all my kits. I am now just getting back into the saddle again and I am revved up and ready to go. Building NASCAR kits of Dale Sr. & Dale Jr. were what I enjoyed.
JFortner5 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks! Yeah I've got it bad again. I still have to build the other car that came with this kit but I just ordered a 95 #3 Monte Carlo and a Darrel Waltrip #17 Western Auto parts kit. The latter is an AMT kit which I've never built so we'll see how that goes. Edit: My wife thinks I'm crazy. Edited February 19, 2013 by JFortner5
bandit1 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Nice car so far!...Wish i had that kit but i dont!...I need to work on a couple of my nascar kits!... I have 2 Earnhardt cars (latest revell issues) i have DW's western auto kit i have the monogram Quaker state car and a couple rebuilders for later!
JFortner5 Posted February 19, 2013 Author Posted February 19, 2013 I told myself when I finished Dales cars I wanted to build the (I think revell) 1950 chevy 3100 pickup. I remember doing it as a kid. Ill get to it eventually. I just couldn't help myself when I was looking on eBay.

JFortner5 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 The one I had wasn't Texaco, but it could have been an AMT. I think it was Revell though.
bandit1 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 The one I had wasn't Texaco, but it could have been an AMT. I think it was Revell though. was it the street machine version w/ the inline 6?....thats amt...and there are a couple different issues of the same kit....
JFortner5 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 I remember it being just a stock pickup with an inline 6. It seems like the picture of it on the box it was painted black. I could be way off, that was probably 1998. I think I said somewhere that this was my first model in 10 years but its probably really closer to 15. Time sure does fly.

bandit1 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 as far as i know of revell never issued a 50' chev....i think that truck belongs to amt....but have been proven wrong a few times!
JFortner5 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 You are probably right. I'm just going off of a distant memory.

The latter is an AMT kit which I've never built so we'll see how that goes. Edit: My wife thinks I'm crazy. I had that Waltrip kit myself and it came out nice once it was done. Is it the chrome painted one? I had quite a few built along with a bunch of military models and dioramas but when my wife and I separated, she cleaned house and everything I had stored in the garage went in the garbage...lol. So now I start over. The only thing I was able to locate was a Budweiser #8 Dale Jr Monte Carlo shell I had painted and decaled and a few military figure kits that were never started. Don't know how they survived!!! So here I am, a few years later trying to get back in the swing. Edited February 21, 2013 by pa3de8
bogger44 Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 It came out looking good, Joey. I'm sure your next will be even better, congrats.
buxxx69 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Beautiful job man! You give me hope for I too havent done a model in around 15 years. Started my Hardees Nascar. I will post pics too soon. Great job again sir ! Cheers !!!!!!
JFortner5 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 Thanks, and I hope to see yours soon. I haven't been online in a while, I've been busy and honestly a bit lazy lately and haven't spent much time building. I've been tinkering here and there but I may try to get my next one done soon. I'll start another thread for it.
buxxx69 Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Incredible job man. Im in the same boat. Rekindled the building flame after many years. I look forward to your next endevor. Cheers !
