jjsipes Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 (edited) Continuing with my Daytona 500 Winners, I've gotten started on my 1964 Winner. With the help from the Randy Ayers Nascar Modeling forum and the internet, I have been able to find out that the car was not all Petty Blue like so many build them. The car was our received a Factory Light Blue with Metallic Blue interior. They sprayed the body in the Petty Blue and left the interior mostly stock with a rollcage added that was painted to match the interior color. The chassis and under hood was left as delivered. So I proceeded based on this information and this is what I came up with. I mixed Testors Light Blue and white together and airbrushed the chassis. I sprayed the interior Testors Laqcuer Silver Blue Metallic and I just used Testors Big Bad Blue for the body. My not be the right colors but close enough for me. I used the great Poweside decals as well. Pictures was taken with my phoen so they are not the best right now. Edited April 14, 2014 by jjsipes

Danno Posted April 17, 2014 Posted April 17, 2014 April 2014 Hot Rod Magazine has an extensive article on a documented, detailed professional clone/resto of that car, prepared with help from Cotton Owens and input from the Pettys. Great article, lots of photos, and tons of information!

jjsipes Posted January 11, 2021 Author Posted January 11, 2021 Since completing my Fan Appreciation Tour car, I thought I'd dig out my 64 Plymouth to try and finish up. Just recently searched for any new pictures and found this on on Twitter. Not Daytona but shows the stock bucket seat.
jjsipes Posted January 14, 2021 Author Posted January 14, 2021 Some updated pictures as I'm trying to finish it.
jjsipes Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 Just completed this one. Need to wait for a sunny day to get better pictures to post in under glass.
