mprmprmpr, thanks for the great reply. I understand all that you are doing and am actually surprised you go through this much trouble for this artwork which has a limited amount of buyers!

Just as ...

These are nice and looks like a lot of work to do them!

If I may ask, what is the process in making the decals actually fit the model cars? For example, the 21 car has pin stripes, and some of the ...

Not sure if this works, but let's try. Here is a link to my decal dilemma on a different car. If you get this horrible look after application, don't worry, keep working it. As you can see it turns o ...

Great looking Fairlane model!

Did you flare the rear fenders out from the stock Fairlane body? Something looks a bit different. And in a nice way.... Laughing

This model looks fantastic.

You faithfully built a scale model of the real thing. Get it, the real thing...

LOL

Excellent job!

Ed that history of the model is awesome! Looks like you too, snuck up to the rooftop to smoke some ciggies, read playboys and take pictures of model cars...LOL.

I remember building that Torino ba ...

Thanks for the notes, I built this thing when I was a teen ager....loved that car and JoHan has the best proportions as they worked directly with the OEM's on the models.

thing is we need a Torino ...

Thanks! Here is the Superbird, built back in the day....

So I am kinda dumb here...does someone have resin bodies of the Ford and Chevy?

Best thing I have seen on a model forum in awhile! I love looking at old builds, especially of others and see how the "other guys" got it done.

very clean and crisp modeling there! Who ...

Hey guys, I would welcome a current gen Camaro if it were available, that way I could build some of the cool graphic schemes of Larson or JJ for example.

Also, right now CAD data is available for t ...

Wow this car and model build look great! Handsome Harry rides again!

Now that is a great looking STOCK car!

just enough underhood detailing to get the right look too!

Thanks for sharing, don't thing I have seen any of this vintage.

Hey guys, thanks for the notes, the funny ones especially.

I cheated the heck out of this kit, as normally they are a joke. It was hard to get the opera window fillers puttied and not crack. Had ...

Finished this one.

Only took about 35 years.

Merry Christmas Petty Fan 43!

Welcome back and well wishes for the new year to you!

I too use postimage, it is pretty simple, just make a few folders for your subjects and you have to make sure ...

Adam, just reaching out from the modeling community.

We wish you the best and a Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas.

If they are thin, can a modeler add the Microscale Liquid Decal Film to them to be more manageable? Will that work?

For another project, I am picking some up tomorrow, as some Tamiya decals are fr ...

Oh no. Good thing I have a 66 Buick Skylark original kit since the molds were ruined to make that theoretical short track stocker thing back in the day.....

It is ok on this GTO, because it is jus ...

Buy the SS GTO and there may be more coming......

Is this Super Stock GTO a drag car? Or is this a modified or what? Only GTO I remember is the Chris Vallo purple car....mystery man sponsor of Gu ...

Cool, you built two of these with slight color variations, looks great

Now you need a diorama or a garage scene to finish it off!

Laughing

It looks pretty good too....

Thanks guys, appreciate the looks and comments.

For those interested and those that may search for "Monogram Decal Milkiness" or whatever, here are two photos of the before and after of t ...

I like to see the transformation. I haven't seen many of these Pontiacs. Keep em coming.

Thanks to Randman posting his model, and encouraging me to finish mine with the decal experiences, I completed this $7 kit that I bought off Ebay. Originally designed to provide donor parts for anoth ...

Nice model and conversion of a Carra Tamarra.

I remember watching that race, and was super stoked the Woods Brothers won the race. I expected a lot more from Trevor Bayne, but it never materialize ...

I'm Following this one! I wondered how that GTorino body was from the kit, and looks like you modified about 60 percent of it to get it into racing shape!

Look forward to more updates, Bill, this ...

18 degrees. I used krylon from a small spray can. Crazy but it only says “cap indicates color”. LOL.

However. It appears it may be the same as the can of 3101 “Glowing Red Orange”.

Whether t ...

Hey thanks guys, the real paint color doesn't show to well on these photos. And the decals were pretty easy to lay down, with clearcoat over the whole body - needed for sure on the day glo red color. ...

Wow. Thanks a million Tom. Replied.

Ha Ha, both are front wheel drive, but the Mona had a V8 installed sideways at least.....

Finished this one a bit ago, but thought it would be fun to post it here as I don't believe I have shown it ...

The kit I bought didn't have this part, and goofy me didn't notice this until assembly.....

Does anybody have a second gen T-Bird main hoop in their spare parts box I can trade or barter for?

I ...

Excellent. I remember the Ford Probe was one of the first that had this as a production type paint...we had it in the design studio and called it "bruise" paint as it was a blue/purple turn ...

Always a winner having a Petty car in the collection

That stance looks very nice and authentic for sure.

Great finish on that model, love it

Was the red on the back of the car decal as well? ...

Man you have been quite busy, and this one shows how this car looks when properly finished.

Thanks for the pics, and the memories of the good old days. Cool

That is great! Did you paint the fading paint or is that a decal? I am unfamiliar with this decal set.

That looks real cool....

Are they going to use the same tool (s) as the older MPC kit (s) ?

That has accurate main body lines that will be good to start from to make it replicate a stocker with out too much trouble.

However, that flat hood is perfect for my 73 conversion.

I will be "cleaning up" the base Torino front end as I rebuild this kit.

Ok I lied already. This is the box art I was thinking, built this too but it is long gone.....

LOL!

Hey guys, I found an old relic the other day in the basement. Built this model way back in the day - Think it was the AMT 72 GTS as a base, the one with a very nice rendering of the car sidewa ...

Cool! I love it.

I don't remember this car, but your build looks great and a great subject for sure.

Brings me back to Capitol Speedway action in the old days!

Makes me want to have a smo ...

Any more progress on this one? A buddy of mine has this kit and pretty much gave up on it as it is so poorly done....

It would be cool to see how it turned out.

Model looks great with tons of little details that sure make a difference. Are these kits curbside? This and the Fusion, I am not familiar with them. Do you have a photo of the underside if that is ...

Hello all, my name is Steve, from Michigan, and not sure where to post this, but I have been on other Forums, including the defunct Scale Model forum, and came here to join you guys.

I have spent m ...

randman, thanks for the update. It will inspire me to try and complete this model soon.

Glad to be here.

Sorry to hijack this build thread guys....but these decals are pretty rare. Can't find an aftermarket source either...and the model highlighted here turned out awesome with some deft work!

MarkJ, t ...

randman, I am new to this site, since the shutting down of Scale Model website, and would like to post my stock car subjects here and learn from you guys.

First off the model looks so awesome, and ...
