I started this build over 7 years ago and like so many other projects it stalled out. Now, I've made a mid-year resolution to dedicate myself to completing some older, started builds. 

This is a 91 Dodge Daytona IROC build using a True Value promo (plastic) kitbashed with an AMT 90's era chassis/suspension and a whole bunch of scratchbuilding and added detail. I cleaned up the body and then made adjustments to the chassis to make it fit. I am hinging the hood and the rear hatch. When complete it will be a full detail build.

After just getting back to it I have finished the prep on the body and it now has color. I am also getting started on some of the small detail areas like creating better gauges for the dash.

More to come.

Got started on the decals. Easiest decaling process I've done in a while.

This is one neat build. Seems like years ago I saw these cars in a local Ace Hardware store. You're doing a great job on your build.

Most of the markings I made on my computer but some came from a seller on Ebay. His decals are pretty good and he has numerous schemes for Earnhardt Daytonas and Camaros.

Excellent example of the power of tidy paint detailing. I always thought the Dodge Daytona IROC cars were very cool. Thanks for posting

This came out of an old computer. I always tear them apart before tossing because there's so many hidden treasures to be found. I don't know which segment of the computer it came from but the four tabs that stick up at the corners fit this chassis perfectly for display. Eventually I will finish smoothing it and shoot it with some semi gloss black.

Really loving this build, so much good detail work really all adds up. Quick question, where did you get the Butler seat decal and the Simpson seatbelt decals? I've looked on Mikesdecals but I always struggle to find which particular sheets have those kinds of things on them.

That looks like a CPU cooler mount that you are using for the stand. I have seen one or two back in the day. Wait did I just let my nerd card show. Smile

Thanks. I have a stockpile of Slixx goodies sheets from the 90's. These decals were plentiful on them.

Yeah, I'm not sure what it is/was. I have no nerd card to play. All that I know is that when I tear down an old piece of electronics I save anything that looks like it could be of some use at a later time.

Back to work on this. Rear glass is installed along with riveted decal framework. I also added the taillight blackout along with the window trim using black BMF.

More engine bay details. Radiator installed and added plumbing. And, the grill screen installed. I also discovered that I made a huge mistake that has to be fixed. With limited research when I started the build I never realized that these cars didn't use a fuel break. They filled the tanks by lifting the rear hatch. So now I have to see if I can create a plug for the side of the body where I created the fuel break without ruining the body.
