1988 Quaker State Buick

[jamie]

I'm a big NASCAR nut, and my favorite body styles they had were the Olds and the Buicks. And one of my all time favorite cars was the Quaker State Buick. So I HAD to do it up right!

This is the most detailed build I've done to date.

The list is:

scratch built rotors and threads (made from guitar string)

window net made from coffee filter paper

plumbed engine, trunk and interior

Modern Motorsports fuel filler kit

Model Car Garage hood hinges

scratch built exhaust

can't think of anything else....

Anyways...here's the pics:

I know most of you guys don't really follow NASCAR builds, but this is my favorite so I had to share...

Did Ricky go through the dirt at Riverside?

Great looking Buick.

Wow, super details! I also like how the right-side suspension looks loaded because of the left-side jack stands. It looks real!

Ah, you noticed that! Very cool, I did that on purpose to get away from the wheels not sitting flush to the ground as they were loaded. I'm excited you noticed it............

And thanks guys for all the great replies. I was curious to see what you guys thought of this one..
