I've been wanting to build this one for a while and modeled it after the Daytona 500 car. RM slabside Monte and decals from Mike. The body was base coated in Testors Mystic Emerald lacquer, and them I misted a light coat of Duratrax polycarb Metallic Green to get the shade closer to the piece of sheetmetal I had from a '99 car.

The window opening bars were molded in, modified the window net, new quarter windows, and spoiler braces for the first time in years. Laughing

Thanks for looking,
Joe

That looks awesome. I always thought the tobacco cars looked the coolest for some reason.

The wheel and tire detail is outstanding. What are the color polka dots for?

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the compliments!

On eBay I found a pic of the car on pit road and tried match the details while being a little creative.

I've always loved the Skoal cars. Not a user, but I've always liked that green! Beautiful build.

Amazing build. Your ability to create models that are so lifelike is unmatched. This car looks like it is full scale.
Awesome!
