Dave Kneisel Pacer Completed 1-7-2019
« on: January 07, 2019, 02:51:42 PM »
On Labor Day Weekend of 1982, the Sport lost one of it's most successful and colorful drivers. Dave Keisel lost his life in a bad wreck at the Orange County Fair Speedway. His cars were always innovative, always gorgeous, and always fast! Here is my tribute Pacer to the late great Dave Kneisel! I also want to thank Greg Holland for some fine decal work. I even shipped the body and panels to him for precise measurements so anyone who may want to build this car in the future need not look far for perfect graphics. Thanks Greg!

I appreciate people that actually build and post models.

Another fantastic replica build David and another great set of decals by Greg. Nice work guys.
I'm sure a lot of work went into this one, to make it look this good.

Wow! Great job on a very unusual subject!  Those East Coast modifieds had a look all their own.

Two thumbs up...…..with extra chocolate syrup! ;D

Seriously, you can't make a pacer look much better than that! I mean that in a GOOD way.

Man David....that really looks AWESOME!!! I sure would've liked to seen this car run. If his 1/1 looked as good as your  build...then ya know it was good looker.....

This is outstanding work!  Great build and the graphics are spot-on.  Not sure how I missed this when it was finished, but I've gone back and looked at these photos a couple of times tonight since I got home from work.  Kudos on building a great replica of a really cool car than ran as good as it looked.
