2018 ARCA Toyota
« on: June 08, 2018, 07:23:43 AM »
This is what I have been spending the last 2 and a half months on. It took 161 hours to complete. I used a Revell chevy snap kit and with the help of styrene sheets and putty, turned it, some what, into an ARCA Toyota. I don't think I will be doing anymore of these. As they say, one and done.

I'd say that was time well spent!! That thing is fantastic!!!! Wish I had that much patience. I kept track of time on a few of my builds, and think 50 hours was about tops.....

Beautiful work Supertex, you have done your magic once again and produced a beautiful model.  I understand the One and Done thing.  Should I ever see you start a Prius, I'm coming to Texas and you and me gonna have a looooonnnng talk.   I'll let one Tojo Taxi slide.

Thanks, Jim and George. That was pretty cool that he got his first win right after I posted this build. It was awesome to finally see him win.

Thanks, Greg. When I have a lot of inspiration its easier to stay with a build and finish it. I have been watching Sheldon for almost a year now, and the moves he makes and his ability to drive a loose race car, and save his car when he gets hit from behind, is amazing. If he gets a chance in Nascar, I think he will be something special. That is, if he gets a good ride. I'm hoping he can get with Ganassi, and team with Larson.
