finished this the other day.

-made the wing supports out of .035" Evergreen rod
-wheels, tires, right side elbow panel, and the triangular sheet metal to the rear of the driver pirated from various Monogram kits
-rock screen, RF mudplug, and bead locks from Dirt Modeler
-seat is a Monogram NASCAR seat from an early Taurus kit with the leg bolsters removed, because the kit seat is horribly dated; and to me, the NASCAR seat has the rib support on the wrong side so it ain't great either
-drilled and wired the magneto
-headers (that are a little short at the collector) from Shapeways
-proper nerf bars from SWS Chassis, aka Justin, who does some neat stuff when he's active; the kit ones never changed over the years, even as they improved the body panels, so they are horribly dated too.
-decals from Slixx; had a total of 3 sets, given that they are from 1996ish. there is one decal missing, a "Rush Truck Centers" from the front of the top wing. all 3 of them split Embarassed so they weren't usable at all.

I think that's it!













also have a "blue deuce" to do of Hillenburg and a #75 Mopar sprinter of Joey Saldana to do. they will be worked in, between wrapping up a few NASCAR builds that were started over the winter.

thanks for looking, and as always, comments are appreciated and expected.
