This is what I have been spending the last 2 and a half months on. It took 161 hours to complete. I used a Revell chevy snap kit and with the help of styrene sheets and putty, turned it, some what, into an ARCA Toyota. I don't think I will be doing anymore of these. As they say, one and done.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd say that was time well spent!! That thing is fantastic!!!! Wish I had that much patience. I kept track of time on a few of my builds, and think 50 hours was about tops.....

Thanks, Ed, Rett and David. I really appreciate the feed back.
Nothing but fabulous, Mark.
Great work as we've come to admire from you.
Plus........ Sheldon Creed got his 1st ARCA win in this car this evening at Michigan !!
Beautiful work Supertex, you have done your magic once again and produced a beautiful model. I understand the One and Done thing. Should I ever see you start a Prius, I'm coming to Texas and you and me gonna have a looooonnnng talk. I'll let one Tojo Taxi slide.
Thanks, Jim and George. That was pretty cool that he got his first win right after I posted this build. It was awesome to finally see him win.

Thanks, Ricky, for the feedback.
Beautiful work as always, love seeing you builds, decals are awesome!
Thanks, Mark. I really appreciate the feedback.

Thanks, Greg. When I have a lot of inspiration its easier to stay with a build and finish it. I have been watching Sheldon for almost a year now, and the moves he makes and his ability to drive a loose race car, and save his car when he gets hit from behind, is amazing. If he gets a chance in Nascar, I think he will be something special. That is, if he gets a good ride. I'm hoping he can get with Ganassi, and team with Larson.
Yeah, he is going to be one of the great ones in my opinion. ARCA was just here in Newton recently but unfortunately going out to the Iowa Speedway is a bit too much for me these days. I really enjoyed the ARCA races better than the Xfinity series by far. Anyway, your replica is gorgeous and shows just how talented you are!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🏁
