ratnasty Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hello guys I have never built a nascar before but I love the winged warriors, so I took on building Bobby Isaac Daytona Charger . I started with a Revell Daytona Charger and used the interior bucket and chassis from that car . I have put in a roll cage frome a Polar Lights Torino and have PPP wheels and tires.Here is the start of the car mocked up and I know I have to remove the wing window , but here is where I need some help . Is the stance on the car correct Do the front fenders need to be radius out more Do I touch the rear quarters or leave them alone and does the ride height for the car look correct any help will be appreciated guys thanks Chuck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERNON Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hey Chuck, Keep us posted on this build. I'm anxious to see the finished product. It looks right on the money so far! Vern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 That's lookin' good Chuck ! I don't know how many reference photos you have , but I have a few more that I used for a build I did a few years ago . If you need them I can PM them to you .

bbowser Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Just my opinion, but you should jack it up in the back just a little. Sitting still they had a rake and the fenders need to clear the tires for pit stops. Looks like a cool build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooneyzs Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Chuck... Nice work so far... I think you will knock this one out of the park. Looking forward to seeing progress on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
