dented/muddy and raced tri5 chevy

[JimW]

built on a nascar chassis , built this model in 2003 for a customer . he owned the real car and races at tracks in Ohio in their hobby stock class . had to build from a photo he sent me , scrath built 180 headers and had to rebuild part of the cage to fit the body BMF on the chrome bars that he left on the car , I though those guys always took the bright work off the cars but he said he left it on
so I did it on the model , the guy asked for me to weather and add a muddy look to the finished model , jayson liked the finished model and I'v built him a couple more race cars but not all of them looked like this one 




enjoy the great sunday everyone !

Nicely done and a real sharp car to work from. I liked that they left the chrome spears on and as long as they lasted they kind of help make the car car look cool!

Very cool! Love the weathering on the engine bay and the trunk.

I love weathered race cars, but in weathering "less if more" and in my opinion this model has a tad too much grime on it. The damage, and location of the applied grime,are great. It just a couple of clicks over the top for me.
