Slick looking ride!! Nice work!!

Been seeing a bunch of these being done so I figured I'd go ahead and build the one I had on the shelf. Harvested a few parts from some other kits and added a windshield.

Would you happen to have a template for the Gen6 Mustang?
Sorry, I don't. I'd need a 1:24 diecast to trace. If I come across a cheap one, I'll do a template.

Nice work!! Nice display setup too!! The Pennzoil cars have always had really slick paint schemes.

Looks like that did the trick. Thanks for the advice!! Very Happy

I do have some Super Clean so I'll probably just strip them and see what happens when I try again.

Not sure why but the paint keeps bubbling on the parts. I've used Rustoleum Green and Krylon Fusion Matte Black and got the same result. The only color I've not had trouble with is Krylon metallic. I ...

It's about that time again!! Just want to get a rough head count of who is interested in participating and who wants FCS contingency decals!!

Just message me your ...

Nice work!! Loving the track too!!

That's some hardcore fab work!! Nice job!! Shocked

Nice work, bro!!

I just experimented with 20 so I think you're good. Very Happy

I've gotten used to the forward justified numbers but as a lifelong fan, I still say it belongs in the center. The current placement does remind me of some of the old Racing Champions cars though. :lo ...

Added some new stuff to give it more of a "lived in" look.

I always build the engine with the exhaust headers then attach it to the chassis before I add the firewall or any of the suspension. I'll also tape the trailing bar assembly to the chassis to hold the ...

So, I had another post about Bobby Allison stating that his contract with the Stavola Bros. ran through 1990 when he planned to retire. if Bobby had been hit in the left-rear or left-front instead of ...

If you carry a Iphone with you, you are being tracked and monitored already dosen't matter if you are on facebook or not.

I made a bunch of extras when I did his car from '89. PM me your address and I'll send some.

I'm in.

Turned out really great!! Hope all goes well for your surgery too.

So, I built a version of this car well over a decade ago to give to my dad and I decided that it was finally time I have one for my own shelf. I started with a Monogram Kyle Petty Peak kit and went a ...

Almost there!!

I never get tired of those old Monogram kits, and admiring work like yours. I like how you duplicated the seat and head rest. What did you use for roll bar padding?
Thanks! I use black athletic tape.

Roll cage padded and started assembly. Also cut a piece from an '81 Pontiac grill for the duct in front of the oil cooler.

Makes sense. I've got a friend with a 3d printer. Might look around to see if any designs exist.

Is there any way someone could contact Salvinos about maybe releasing a kit with 2 or 3 Busch Series engines? I've not been able to find any resin ones but I know they existed at some point.

WOW!! What a beautifully done build!! I really like the realistic hinges!!

Been working on a D&D style racing tabletop RPG for a little while and I'm planning on trying it out with one of my groups.

Nice work!!

Got the seat done and the car's up on her wheels!

All of the Monogram Thunderbird kits from then had those wheels.

OK, so that last photo made me think of something I hadn't before. The B-posts on the Monogram Pontiacs are way too narrow so I figured I'd remedy that. Also added some tabs under the hood similar to ...

Does anyone have any other pics or info on the chassis that Richard ran at the time? Looks like a Laughlin for the most part but the rear suspension is unusual.

Haven't done a W.I.P. in a while but I've been wanting to do this one for a while and try some new things in the process. This is the first time I've made my own roof rails. Normally, I'll take a 1991 ...

Just using Testor's decal film and a regular printer so no. Although, I might see about doing some extra artwork that someone else could use.

It has both.
