Building the â€˜73 Petty Charger and was looking for info on Hemi engine colors? Was the block dark blue or light blue? Were the heads the same color?Â

I assume the valve covers were flat black? ...

So I was excited to receive the Salvinoâ€™s Petty 1973 Charger kit. When I opened it, I noticed that is did not include the decals for the STP red parts of the body. I saw I can buy the decals and was ...

Does anyone have any recent reference pics of Cup engines? Iâ€™m building a Salvinoâ€™s Next Gen and would like some engine pics for painting and wiring. Specifically, what color are Chevy oil pans? W ...

Yes Iâ€™d love to see any pics too! Anyone have any general detailing tips for Next Gen cars in general would be appreciated!

I was just wondering if anyone had done any mods, upgrades, or detailing of the Salvinoâ€™s Next Gen cars? Seems all I have seen have been built box stock. Just wondering what mods, other than fixing ...

So my son was going to put the driveshaft in on the #9 Salvinoâ€™s Next Gen Camaro and it appears to be too short. Has any else noticed this? I donâ€™t think he mounted any parts wrong but I could be ...

So now that the Salvinoâ€™s Chase Elliot kit is out, Iâ€™m looking for tips, tricks, ideas, and reference photos to start my build.
Has anyone else started on one? If so, any issues to look out for?Â ...

So Iâ€™m starting this WIP to help document my slow work on my all-time favorite car, Richard Pettyâ€™s 1967 Plymouth Belvedere. Most of you know more about this car than I do, but Iâ€™ve really enjoy ...

So Iâ€™d like to post pics of models from my phone. What is the preferred image hosting site? I used to have Photobucket until they went south. Any tips appreciated.
Thanks

So I was wondering what would be different about these two Petty Chargers? I know the paint schemes are a little different. Would the â€˜76 be a small block car vs a Hemi in the â€˜73? Was thinking of ...

I really appreciate all the help on the other thread. Iâ€™m now in need of reference pics for the 1967 Richard Petty Plymouth that Iâ€™m building. Iâ€™ve seen in the past some pics up under the back o ...

Great build! Iâ€™m about to start on this car also!

Which Bill Coulter book are yâ€™all talking about?

Jose, thatâ€™s one sweet ride! May I ask why you chose the Lindberg chassis over the Revell? Iâ€™m just getting started on doing the â€˜67 car so thought Iâ€™d ask.

I had read that as well. Iâ€™ve seen interviews where Richard said they stuck a â€˜67 grille in the â€˜66 and raced it that way.

After my visit to the Petty Museum last week for PettyFest, Iâ€™d like to build Richardâ€™s 1967 Plymouth Belvedere. I have the Sox & Martin 1967 Plymouth kit to start with. I know Iâ€™ll use some ...

So I was just wondering if anyone had heard if any company or cottage industry company was doing a model of the current Cup cars? I’d really like to do a current Chevy Camaro, especially a Chase Ellio ...

Please, any help on my quest for as accurate a model a ...

Rob, thanks for the reply. I finally got around to checking out your site and the build WIP is excellent!
I may have future questions.
Thank You!

So I’m starting a new project, Bill Elliott’s ‘85 T-Bird and was wondering if y’all assemble the roll cage before painting? I’ve always painted first then sanded the contact points.

What say you? ...

So I just bought a 1985 Coors Monogram T-Bird off the auction site and am excited to try building a kit that got me started in modeling so many years ago. I am looking to build a replica of either the ...

Did you guys ever finish the Pro Stock body into a NASCAR ride?

That is so cool! I live about 30 min from there and was the biggest Elliott fan growing up! Gotta have you give me some tips as I just ordered a ‘85 #9 to start!

I am looking for advice and was hoping some of you guys could help. My teenage son is really into the original Ford GT40’s and I was hoping we could build a model of one together, especially since he’ ...

Awesome build! I grew up 30 min from Dawsonville and remember listening to that race on the radio.

Ok. Why can’t I see the pics?!?

I’m trying to get back into building a couple cars and hoping my son may join in. Where do you all get your modeling supplies? I don’t have a local hobby shop that I know of besides the local Hobby Lo ...
