My current build. Not Nascar but very close

The truck does not look happy with you. On the other hand... the build looks very happy. Coming along nicely.

Thanks Donato. My wife named her Suzy Q, and she is a tough little truck. She will get over it.

Primed the body with Mr. Surfacer 1000. It went on very nicely and allow me to save the body with a much better airbrushed paint job. got the engine installed and ready to add the exhaust and the drive shaft.

Not to hijack your thread but i am using the chrom on some Indy Car wheels, gonna lay down some lacquer clear spray on them. Will report back how it does.

Thanks, Dave. Feel free to post them here so I can see your results of the clear lacquer over the Revell Chrome. The stuff really works well after just putting it on its just the handling it can't take.

Mark (and anyone else interested in the subject), i went ahead and started a thread about the Chrom in the Bench Racing section, didn't want to completely hijack your thread and send it in another direction.

Thanks , Dave. I will surely give it a look. Do you have a link you can post here for easy transfer over to it?

Yessir.

That Camaro conversion is coming out great. Is giving me some inspiration to start on my 1969 Sunoco Camaro conversion.

Dave, I'm looking forward to seeing the wip on your Camaro. I have a 68 Sunoco Camaro I want to do someday.

Hopefully I can shoot the chrome engine parts black today so I can re-shoot them Revell chrome tomorrow. Then I will be finished with the engine except for plumbing it.

Don't forget to put oil it the engine Mark! 😂

Just messing with you buddy, your attention to detail and model building skills are amazing.

Thanks, Steve for stopping by. I think that's one thing I won't be putting on my list of to dos. I'm trying to check them off as fast as I can and get this baby done.

Added some more stuff to the chassis and got the air cleaner and valve cover breathers ready for black undercoat. This time I'm using a special black undercoat spray that Testors makes for what they call shifting colors. The chrome doesn't shift but this should be a very good paint for the Revell chrome. Once the Revell chrome has totally cured I will future it and still handle it with plastic gloves so no way I can dull it this time. I also fixed the hood so it shuts tight in the front I will reveal how I did it at a later date. I really hate when a hood doesn't shut flush at the front. Especially on a race car.
