A little late in my response but here it is anyways. This is in no way me defending Salvinos for anything but moreover just an honest analysis.

For all of the folks bagging on Salvinos for what th ...

Finished this one a couple of months ago but forgot to post it. Salvinos kit with decals from Pattos. Mr. Hobby matte spray to acheive the matte finish.

Just finished my first modified build. I used excellent Ace Decals. Pinned the carb to allow the air cleaner to be removed and heated the kit based window net and reshaped it to give it the laid open ...

Wow!!

You've got a show winning build there, it's beautiful!
What did you use to get such a shiny gloss, was it a 2k type of clear coat?
Thanks for the comments. Sorry for the late respons ...

I took the Salvinos rollout kit and decided to jump right into the fire on this one. Using excellent decals from MPR I set out to build and extreme detailed build. Went a little overboard in some area ...

Most excellent.

What printed parts did you get from Jim? I have only seen the modern seats.

The brake rotors and hubs along with the rear suspension came from Jim.

Here is my latest completed build. The Salvinos 73 Petty Charger kit with lots of extras including some of Jim Rogers 3D parts along with the new MCG photo etch set.

Looks great and that finish is beautiful!

What kind of clear coat did you use over the decals? Cool

Thanks. The finish is Axalta 2 part clear.

Almost 40 years of building and this is my first completed Richard Petty build. I used the Salvinos 83 kit with the vermilion decals. Other than lowering the ride height it is built straight out of th ...

Currently on the bench. Out of the box build of Salvinos Petty 83 Pontiac. I am also using the vermilion underlayment decals. They are a bit of a challenge to work with and require plenty of patience ...

Excellent build. Does that kit come as a funny car or did you have to do major surgery on it? I would have loved to watch the wip on this one.

The build was straight out of the box, AFX.

Very Nice model I do the decals for an earlier Version of the car here is a pic of the car and my decals for it. Who's decals did you use for you build? https://hosting.photobucket.com/images/rr83/hem ...

Awesome job.

Looks great. What are you using for your stand?

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 se ...

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 ...
