Short Track and NASCAR modeling

Nice build came out looking good.

Can't wait!

1 month to go!!

Thanks, Catpack. It was hard finding good reference photos of this car. Luckily, I had a 1/43 scale diecast of it I found at a model car show in Stafford Texas. I wasn't sure what it said on the trunk, but the diecast got it right, so I just used the image from the diecast and blew it up from 1/43 scale to make the decal for what I think it was 1/24th scale build I made. I had to do a lot of body mods to make the body correct for this version of the Lumina.

Really nice work on this one Mark! I've always liked this car and you nailed it👍

Somehow I knocked the right header collector off and lost it, so I had to make a new one. Also added the seat and dash to the chassis.

Here's Freddie's car at the firecracker 400. Suffered a severely cut tendon in his left arm.

A very nice replica!

Thanks, Catpack. I have one more of those kits but can't decide which car to do. I agree. One of the toughest looking stock cars ever made. Always looked low and mean on the track. Maybe another Lorenzen car. He had a good year that year except for the Firecracker 400 which I heard he could have lost his arm because they shaved the sheet metal so thin on those cars to reduce weight.

Hawk 22, I've said it a bunch, but I love your replica builds and your great stories. I love old race cars and the stories that we all have. You did a great job on this one!
