Randy Ayers Nascar Modeling Forums

We must have been typing at the same time.
Looking at the resin you mentioned, it looks like the body is made of of pieces of both bodies, something you might want to try instead of spending $90 for ...

Don't know exactly what differences there would be, but I think starting with the late 90's Gran Prix such as the Hot Wheels, John Deere or the STP Hamilton car would be a better starting point. Inter ...

Crimedog, per your initial post, I agree that they are the best kits of a Nascar ever built. The release of these models spawned an aftermarket industry that was never seen before.
And yes, I agree t ...

Does this apply to the Pontiac,Olds & Buick kits as well?

I would think so. Everybody was running a chassis built by one of the chassis building companies. The GM cars that Monogram and now Sal ...

OK, thanks, but which one do I omit, the outboard or the inboard? Probably just build it like it comes in the kit, but just curious.[/quote]

On the front, keep the two forward shocks. For the rear, ...

Jim (the JR in SalvinoJR) does some of the best 3D printing I have seen, I have bought about 10 sets of his headers alone.
On the shocks, if the car you are building has a Bilstein or Penske shock de ...

Hoping to find the Blueridge Terry Labonte M&W BGN decal sheet.
I have 4 of the J-n-J sheets, but they have all yellowed beyond using. Would consider a good clear sheet if one exists. Thank ...

Heard there is a new magazine on the horizon, "Auto Modeler".
Anyone heard anything about it and it's content?

I think it would have to have something.
Don't remember which version of chassis it was, but Revell didn't put rear brakes on it.

Just wondering what spray people are using for chassis grey.
Been trying a few different ones and wanted to see what your favorite is.
Thanks

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

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
