Tighe Scott Race Hauler & Olds

[spotter23]

Latest "on the bench" completion.......Tighe Scott was a dirt racer from Pennsylvania who raced nascar 5-6 years in the early 80's. My connection to the car was his sponsor.....a lady's clothing line that my dad sold in his department store in the 70's. Some of the first clothes I purchased for my girlfriend (now my wife) were Russ Tog.
The build includes the box from an AMT Pepsi kit, chassis is a modified 352 Peterbilt, cab is a resin Dodge LS-1000 from AIT truck models, the trailer is from the Revell Chevy Van kit, and the Olds is the Salvinos kit. Greg Holland made the decals and was very patient with my request. Usually the era of nascar hauled the car in a box trailer behind the truck, but I wanted it visible. I tubbed the box made several modifications to the truck chassis to get the cab to tilt and all other items such a exhaust to line up. Car is pretty much box stock with resin bumpers. The top of the box is loose, I plan to add some cabinets engines etc. later, but for now I need a break. Thanks for looking

Super job on both the hauler & the Olds!  They look like the REAL thing!  My yet-to-be wife & I saw this car run at the Daytona 500 - the reason I remember this so well is because she (being new to any type racing) was rooting for the Russ Togs car since she was in womens retail (and spent 40 years doing so).  Again...a great job with this race team tandem!

Spotter23 you should be very proud of this build. It's a dead on replica of the whole race operation.
Fantastic workmanship on everything. Also another beautiful set of decals by Greg Holland.
