Nice work! I love old short track cars. My favorite build was stolen at a show and I need to build another.

Fantastic, short track cars prior to 1976 are my favorite. This model is one of the best example's I have ever seen it is a perfect example of late 50s early to mid 60s Absolutely a perfect model great model....

The number 84 was always a threat at the Fairgrounds. DW and Mike Alexander were just a couple of hot shoes that drove a hotrod numbered 84. Your build is spot on perfect. You really nailed it. You should be proud.
