Beautiful!  Whose decals did you use?  I haven't yet found any that include the pinstriping on the roof.

Your Jerry Cook modified looks great! Didn't Jerry go to work for NASCAR as the director of the modified series after he stopped driving?

Steve, yes he did!  He is now NASCAR's "Competition Administrator", whatever that is.

Rattlecan, your mods are great!  Those MPC kits are sure great "raw material", aren't they?

Another great looking model. That thing has got some hefty bumpers!

Think you might be right. I may have gone a little too heavy on the bumpers. Quite a few corrections I may do someday.

They might be a little oversize, but then Cook was known for using the "chrome horn" so....

Lol. So, you're saying he might have been comfortable with a little bit oversized nudgers? Lol. I like that Ron White quip: " I didn't know how much bumper it was gonna take to move him outta the way, but I knew how much I was gonna use!
