Randy Ayers Nascar Modeling Forums

Check with Mike's Decals under resin bodies and parts. I think under sprint cars or one of the headings there is a car that looks like the second one. Maybe something there close to the first that you ...

Per the link to the Lumina picture Hillbilly posted, looks like there might be a use for the error decals from the Monogram Thunderbird kit.

Unreal !
That's one a day average.
Are these refinished cars or can you get them unassembled in a kit? What about the decals, do you print your own?
Don't look in the diecast section that often, bu ...

I will have hot water running out of the bathtub faucet, cold out of the sink. I hold the body under the hot and reverse twist it, holding it there a little while. Then I immediately put it under the ...

Revell Chrome is a new spray paint that is supposed to simulate chrome. At over $30 a can, I haven't been brave enough to try it

UNREAL, takes my words away

Then again, just because the sticker is on the car don't mean they are using that product. In the 90's I was able to hang around a Cup team and seen a few examples of that going on.

I am sure it meant ignition parts. Alan Kulwicki had AC Delco prominently displayed on the trunk of his Zerex Ford at one time.

Try contacting Sam at Three Amigos, he does the decals so he probably has something in mind for the base color

Anyone have any pictures of the Oldsmobile Richard Petty drove over there before they raced the first time. I believe it was a tire test session.

Sorry about that, didn't realize you were that far away.
I build a lot of Petty cars, so I get the automotive paint store to mix me up some blue and the put it in an aroesal can. Don't know if that's ...

I know Model Car World has it

If you airbrush, Model Car World has engine colors, even a tinted gold for carburetors.
I have used Plastikote engine enamels from the auto parts store. Sometimes they are a little glossy, but I tone ...

Will they be the same kit as when Monogram did them, or did they change or add anything. The body could have used a little tweaking.

Just checked, he has them listed for the 2022 and 2023 cars

You might try Mike's Decals, he is the one supplying Salvino JR the decals for their kits. I would ask even if he doesn't have them listed on his website.

I recently had Krylon bubble on me while painting something metal that was primed.
Only thing I can think of is are you washing the parts with a degreaser dish liquid such as Dawn? I usually wash bef ...

You have single handedly made it worthwhile for them to reissue these kits

Try Southern Motorsports Hobbies. I have heard it is the same body.

Thank you.
I did several searches and didn't come up with anything.

I have been a member here for a couple years, answering and asking questions, commenting on builds, but never posted any pictures. I know there have been topics on the procedure, but can't seem to fin ...

Local automotive paint store: I get tape, sandpaper, body filler and putty and they custom mix aerosal cans for me. They run about $25 for a large can. The small hobby size have reached $8-9 each.
Lo ...

That is one impressive build.

Hey Tom, thanks for correcting that, just going by what someone else built here.
I am planning on doing the 1972 Donleavey car sometime, do you know what that one was?

I see builds where they used parts from Jim Rodgers (of Salvino JR) such as wheels and headers. I have not been able to locate any site or ordering information. Where have y'all been getting his stuff ...

If you want to invest in a set, I am sure Model Car Garage has those in photo etched pieces.

Thank you Dr. Craft, you always have amazing photos and information. I appreciate your willingness to share all you have.

Does anyone know the history of the Wendell Scott car. I know it was not the car Petty was preparing before switching back to Plymouth. Heard it was a borrowed car for a race or two while his was bein ...

David Pearson drove a blue and gold #17 for Holman-Moody. You can get the decals from Mike's.

Kit or aftermarket?

Who does the decals for this car?

Where's Hawk at, he'll know.

Please post some pictures when you finish it, I bet it will really pop in that color.

Do a search for "Unser" on this forum. There are some builds and a fab shop thread. They have it built as a long truck arm car. You may be able to PM him with some questions. People around h ...

Been working on several Richard Petty one-off cars. Thanks to the members here, the Canadian Monte Carlo is well under way, and everything has been acquired for the IROC Porsche. Gathering information ...

I am sure Dave can back me up on this. Years ago, a friend had a resin and decal business, producing sheets mainly of independent and 50's and 60's drivers and cars. Never once did any of them ask for ...

The ONLY advantage I see is hopefully they are molding it in white. Are the still using the same chroming method, the kind you can't strip. I haven't bought anything new in awhile, but wish they woul ...

Once again you impress.

I don't mean for this to be argumentive toward Gary's statement, but I prefer a smaller website. I work at a small company, go to a small church, deal with a small bank and grocery store. I get to kno ...

Per what TN VOLS FAN said:
I never carry my phone in our shop meetings, but one co-worker did. Someone was talking about crane safety and now he gets ads, etc. for crane safety programs, videos and m ...

When I mentioned split in a previous reply, I was thinking people who post something new will place it on one or the other, doubtful on both.

I don't know about other parts of the country, but living in the south, this is starting to look like a church split. I'll stay with the old congregation.

What affect will it have on this site?

It's unreal how well and quick you turn these out.

Hey William, I 'll take one Monte Carlo, sending paypal

That body style Taurus was always one of my least favorites, sort of looked like a catfish coming at you. But here lately, several very nice builds have turned up on the forum, definitely including yo ...

Hope your back surgery goes well and you are back building in a short time.
Turned out nice those early Monogram went together good.
