I finally had the time and the decent enough weather to take some photos of my builds from Paul's wonderful 1982 Petty sheet. All are Monogram kits (with a resin nose for the non-SS Monte Carol, and the rear bumpers on the Pontiacs modified to remove the vertical guards), Tamiya French Blue and Krylon Red glowing orange fluorescent for the paints.So here they are:



On the front row is Richard's Daytona 500 and Southern 500 Pontiacs, and on the back row are Kyle's rides. Here's the Kyle cars (left to right):
Firecracker 400 Buick (built when the Slixx sheet was new, that old clear coat is showing its age!!)
Southern 500 Chevrolet
Mountain Dew 500 Buick
Daytona 500 Pontiac
Champion Spark Plug 400 Pontiac
Dover 500 Pontiac

That's every variation listed on the decal placement guide, except I built the Dover car instead of the Nashville car, as the Dover car had the no-red UNO logo on the hood and the Nashville didn't.

Thanks all!

The clear on the old car was Testors enamel (I think) spray. It has a tendency to discolor over the years, and that one did just that!
