I’m in Dave for a set

So in that pic of the Labonte Monte... that gold Moroso dry sump pan -- is that a steel pan anodized gold ?Most likely a zinc coated steel pan. Anodizing is usually for aluminum. I say it’s steel b ...

Have a Buick in the stash and would like to do an 81 Bobby Allison Hardee’s Ranier car. I know wetworks makes a set but can’t find them anywhere, anyone know where I can find a set?

Anyone know a good paint match of the blue on his 79 Busch beer car?

Awesome!! I love it.

Awesome job on those.. really liking the first one with the Spartanburg sponsor.. I’m only 20 miles south of there. Also love seeing the old dirt cars.

So this leads me to a question I have on the Moebius 61 Bud Moore Pontiac kit. Joe Weatherly as noted as not having used shoulder harnesses due to fear of being trapped in a fire. So would the provi ...

C5HM with all due respect I started this post asking about shoulder harnesses not the cause of death of Joe. Perhaps you should start your own thread trying to prove your threory. We can now close thi ...

Found a couple years ago some white bodied die casr models with no decals on car that i used
Bill Thanks.. I should have originally said a kit that I can build, I know some that sell individual piece ...

I’ve looked all over but can’t find anything, does anyone offer an acurate detailed inside and out dirt SLM? I know there are resin bodies out there but you have to hand make the chassis and find a su ...

SWEET!!!

What Dennis said! If I recall correctly, the green stripes have a white edging which makes them a little wider so the masking isn't quite as critical as it could be.

BrianYour correct Brian, I loo ...

Sometimes to help with masking I'll make a xerox copy of the decals and cut them out. I them use that paper template to lay down my tape.Thanks Dennis, Great idea...I haven’t thought of doing that.

Looking for advice on how to mask the white portion I have circled in the picture so that the green pinstripe decal will match correctly. Is it pretty much a eyeball thing or is there a more accurate ...

Great looking builds.. what kit are those Indy cars from? Or are they resins?

Here it is

Beautiful.. Love those colors

Thanks Bobby.. I may do just that and build the 88 gold car. I always really liked that car too...such a shame he spent only half a year in it.

Ahh ok gotcha.. Thanks

Bobby would this kit work? I know the front grill is different and not sure about the rear or the rest of the car. I really don’t know the big differences between the 87 and 88 body style. I too am lo ...

Excellent.. one of my favorites.

Cotton has to be in my personal top 5 list. His shop was about 30 miles up the road and I remembering seeing him every Saturday night back in the 90’s at Cherokee speedway with his 3 grandsons who rac ...

I think you may be referring to a gentleman named Roland Firtinger, He is constantly posting builds on a Facebook NASCAR group I’m a member of.

I say R/M here too but oh how I wish Tamiya would get into NASCAR.

Love it!! Awesome piece of work.

Anyone know when shoulder harnesses became the norm in NASCAR?[/b]

OUTSTANDING build Irish! Great looking stance, paint, and decals...heck everything about this build I like. You took a very simplistic kit and made it look like a million dollars! Well done. I would p ...

Thanks Dave

I just started a 61 Pontiac Nascar build. Were they removing the front inner fender wells yet or leaving them in? I can’t find any good engine compartment pics.

Very nice model of a very cool racecar! Cool

The overall appearance and the stance (imho the most important thing on a racecar) are perfect.

I have this one on my to-do-list as well and i´d b ...

Thanks guys, I wish now I had went with the black roll bars version as I think it would have offered better contrast from the red body but oh well, coulda, woulda, shoulda.

I posted my WIP in the Fab section before but now I’ve finally finished. Overall I’m pretty happy how it turned out. If I could go back I would have fitted the upper roll cage under the roof better. I ...

Are you looking for acrylics or enamel? I use acrylics 90% of the time and mostly use Tamiya. The one thing they need though if your doing a larger part or big area to brush is put some paint on your ...

Got the Tamiya TS-21 Gold on, also some alclad aluminum on the radiator shroud area and the rear bumper corner covers. Still got to get the window trim and door handle covers.

You nailed it!!...Excellent work

Thanks for the help guys, I edited my post with resized images.

Thanks Gary, I’ll try that next time.

Wow that’s a bit of a pain in the rear. So Dave I have to resize before I upload to the imagine host? also what is a good size to resize them to? Thanks

I’m using Imgur.. It doesn’t do this on other forums I have posted on, only this one. Not sure what’s going on. I may try a different host and try again when I post another update.

Yeah I got to figure out why it’s posting the images so large

Started this about 2 months ago and wanted to get photos posted before now but just never got around to it. I only get a few hours on the weekends to work on it so that's why its slow going. Everyone ...

Thanks for looking 18 degrees, I have looked at photos and races from 72 on youtube but just can’t make out which type they are running.

I am currently doing a 72 Bobby Allison Coke Monte Carlo. The tires that came with the kit are treaded. Just want to make sure this if this is correct or do I need to get some aftermarket slicks. Than ...
