Randy Ayers Nascar Modeling Forums

As a young teenager, I built all of the 6 original Mod. Stocker kits more than once, and the 3 later releases at least once each. All suffered horrible fates! I spent some of my adult life relocating all of them and own at least one each of all 9 originals. I couldn't resist picking up the re-issues as they were released, and this is one of them. Here are some pics of the major sub-assemblies of my '66 Buick Modified Stocker re-issue box-art build:

(Sorry for the huge pics, all the other forums I'm on re-size them automatically, and when I re-size them in Imgur, they won't transfer here. Not sure what the problem is!)

Interior, basically box-stock with parts box gauges. Engraving on the kit dash was so light as to be unusable.







Kit engine, box stock, paint detailing only.



Chassis bottom, entire chassis and suspension consists of TWO pieces! Paint detailing and resin dirt tires from Big Donkey and Fred's Resin Workshop. Left front is an old AMT Goodyear. Drilled out exhaust ends.



Removed heater box and paint detailed the firewall. kit doesn't supply a radiator so I found one in my spares, added an accordion dirt screen.



Rear and left front are kit wheels, I removed the front spindle hub from both rears.

Clean work. Where did the grooved tires come from?

Nice!
Regarding image size - The Imgur controls are probably just for viewing on that site. As far as I know you'd need to reduce the original size, then upload it as its own image. I usually try to keep them 600-800 pixels on the longest side.

I got the size down a bit.

Great work.
