I have always liked the Wood Brothers myself, but their results with Burton driving leave a lot to be desired. I would think that played into the decision.

I have had cold water running, heat it with a blow dryer for hair, over correct it and while still holding it in that position, put it under the stream of cold water. May have to do it a couple times. ...

Very nice and clean build. I rarely comment on the newer stuff, but I really like this one.

The lower of the 2 together is probably Oliver

I believe the yellow one near the headlight is Advance Auto PDQ.

Mike's Decals has the kit and the decal sheet that does the Chargers he drove while with Petty.

Thanks for the responses guys.
I am working on a 1979 Caprice and it has a pretty big grill, so I don't think I can make it from an existing grill I have around.
I'll let y'all know if I find someth ...

Welcome, you won't be disappointed here. The people are very helpful and seem to go out of their way to do that.
This is the only forum I visit regularly.

Been trying to find some styrene sheet with a pattern that I can use to make grills and oil cooler openings. Any suggestions? I checked the Evergreen website and didn't see anything. Don't want to use ...

I don't have a definite answer, but it's like disc brakes, aluminium heads, ect., the teams with money had braided hoses before the others.

Soda can is a little too thick for that. Seen several times where people use heavy duty aluminium foil, burnish over the body panel to make a copy, then replace the panel and inflict the damage. Also ...

The Allison Miller Buick had the older nose on it, like what was in the kit to begin with. After his injury he fielded a team with the modified style nose sponsored by Raybestos.

If you find any decals, please let me know. I have that car painted but no markings.
Slixx has some number sheets with one number 5 on it, so you had to buy 2 sheets. After Petron Plus failed to pay, ...

Once again, amazing work. Always enjoy the history you provide.

Impressive

Looks great, did you do any body modifications.

Love it.
What frame did you use under it?

Which paint scheme was that?

Excellent build.
Wonder how many of "Today's" drivers would be able to handle a car like that.

Great builds as usual. You really know how to capture the look of that era. I know those cars were fairly dangerous and hard to drive, but man I would like to give it a shot.

Very nice build.
The reason you could not find any reference photos of the 1969 Coke Cyclone is because there never was one. When that kit came out, many were calling it the phantom Cyclone. Somethin ...

I agree with Mark, there has been a lot less going on here since the Facebook thing started.
I have always tried to help everyone I could by responding and asking some questions myself, but I need to ...

Two I would like to see are a Petty Dodge and something Harry Gant drove.

But I love this little board and I'll be here until the very end!

Amen !

Thank you

Been trying to find out when the Mid-Carolina car model swap meet in Salisbury NC is. Usually the 500 weekend, but just making sure. Thanks

(I once sprayed red Testors enamel on a body in a model box cover on the floor of my bedroom. Needless to say, my Mom didn't appreciate the overspray on the hardwood floor!)

I thought I was ...

Wanting to build some of the IROC racing Camaros since several decals have become available. Can't find any good reference photos on the net (maybe looking in the wrong place). Anyone know of any prin ...

I also paint the holding frame aluminium or roll cage color.

Mike usually has some loose sheets from the kits

Check with Mike's Decals under resin bodies and parts. I think under sprint cars or one of the headings there is a car that looks like the second one. Maybe something there close to the first that you ...

Per the link to the Lumina picture Hillbilly posted, looks like there might be a use for the error decals from the Monogram Thunderbird kit.

Unreal !
That's one a day average.
Are these refinished cars or can you get them unassembled in a kit? What about the decals, do you print your own?
Don't look in the diecast section that often, bu ...

I will have hot water running out of the bathtub faucet, cold out of the sink. I hold the body under the hot and reverse twist it, holding it there a little while. Then I immediately put it under the ...

Revell Chrome is a new spray paint that is supposed to simulate chrome. At over $30 a can, I haven't been brave enough to try it

UNREAL, takes my words away

Then again, just because the sticker is on the car don't mean they are using that product. In the 90's I was able to hang around a Cup team and seen a few examples of that going on.

I am sure it meant ignition parts. Alan Kulwicki had AC Delco prominently displayed on the trunk of his Zerex Ford at one time.

Try contacting Sam at Three Amigos, he does the decals so he probably has something in mind for the base color

Anyone have any pictures of the Oldsmobile Richard Petty drove over there before they raced the first time. I believe it was a tire test session.

Sorry about that, didn't realize you were that far away.
I build a lot of Petty cars, so I get the automotive paint store to mix me up some blue and the put it in an aroesal can. Don't know if that's ...

I know Model Car World has it

If you airbrush, Model Car World has engine colors, even a tinted gold for carburetors.
I have used Plastikote engine enamels from the auto parts store. Sometimes they are a little glossy, but I tone ...

Will they be the same kit as when Monogram did them, or did they change or add anything. The body could have used a little tweaking.

Just checked, he has them listed for the 2022 and 2023 cars

You might try Mike's Decals, he is the one supplying Salvino JR the decals for their kits. I would ask even if he doesn't have them listed on his website.

I recently had Krylon bubble on me while painting something metal that was primed.
Only thing I can think of is are you washing the parts with a degreaser dish liquid such as Dawn? I usually wash bef ...
