Good job Brian, I really like it. The weathering is great. You can almost hear it firing up for the feature!

Brian,
Great finish and great job with the show wins. I know you have a ton of sweat equity into this project and you surely demonstrate lots and lots of patience. Got a question. What are those wheels and Goodyear tires on your creation?
Thanks for all the photos.

THANKS Steve and Nathan....
Those are the AMT/ERTL Super Stocker kit tires and wheels. I did have to widen the rear axle and Left front upper and lower control arms to get that look. Wheels where sprayed with Tamiya TS-17 Gloss Aluminum and then the tires and wheels where weathered together using earth tone pastel chalks lightly ground and slightly dampened with water and then clear coated with Testors Dullcote applied with the air brush.
