I built this puppy about 11yrs ago. I used the body from the Revel Mustang turbo kit and went to town. Heavily modified chassis is from and ASA kit. The rest of the build is pretty much fabbed.

Remember this killer modified!!!
Beautiful modified. Got to love those Whelens - Bowman Gray Stadium on Saturday night.
Nicely done, good detailing and paint great stance...
:) Quite a piece. Very nice, Gary. Beyond me.
Rick, sure wish I could have seen a race at Bowman Gray. I saw the midgets on Saturday night in Daytona before the 500, a couple of times, in the md 60s. At a high school stadium as I recall. Lots of fun.
I am sure BG is a treat.
awesome build Gary, simply fantastic!
Thanks for ALL the GREAT comments folks.....
Gary: that is some beautiful fab work on this build. It looks fantastic. Great paint work and lettering also.

I'm in awe of this one! I consider myself to be a pretty good modeler, but, no where near as good as this. You have my respect for sure. Awesome build.

:o Where have you been hiding this gem, Gary? Simply stunning, from the helmet right down to the engine detailing. 8) 8) 8)
an amazing piece for sure!pretty close to 1;1.Nice work!
Thanks for the comments folks. I made a mistake in the Heading....it should read.."Featherlite Modified".... I'll go in and change that...

No, you made a mistake in the heading because it should have said "Incredible Unbelievable Amazing Whelen Modified Build"!
;D
LOL...Thank you very much David.
I had to get out the high power specs, because I was suspicious that you were trying to pass of pictures of a real car, as a scale model. OMG, I am very impressed. This is one fine model.

All I see is the 1:1 that you may have used for reference for the model build!!! I'd sure like to see the model!!! Seriously, really gorgeous build, over the top realistic, Gary!!! gb🤗😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏁

Hey Jim...jump in and do one. If you wanted to do a newer version of the Whelen cars...Big Donkey has a Mustang body that looks Pretty darn good. I got one from him but haven't got to it as of yet...
That is nice work Gary! Love the detail!
Thanks ARCA...I really enjoyed building that one...
