That thing looks fantastic Michael. I live in Burlington, where the sponsors were located. Where did you get the decals?

You've done a great job on this replica. Weathering is spot on.

Excellent build really looks the part. Some nice weathering, also like the bungee cords on the hood and trunk lid.

Awesome job, Michael. The weathering to achieve a dirt track driven appearance is one of the best I have ever seen. Even the tires have dirt in the nooks and crannies like a real car would have. Again, Excellent job on this build.
