Hey Michael...you did an outstanding job on the car. That track is killer too!! 

I might ask...who is Wendell? Is it Wendell Scott by chance?

Excellent build, the weathering, detail work, lettering and diorama all look fantastic.

Also welcome to the forum and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your builds.

Thanks for the kind words, guys!

Gary, it should be Wendell Scott! A brave man and my personal hero.

I know Wendell drove modifieds, but this one is a "what if" , i think...

Hey Michael...a very good what if build. I also like Wendell Scot. I've got at least 4 builds that I want to do of his cars. I bought the book "HARD DRIVING" which is about his Driving career from the tough beginning into his NASCAR days. It's a very interesting book that's for sure.

I'm diggin this build, Michael!!!  The car itself is way cool but the track and the red clay weathering is awesome.  Definitely a southern car!!!🤗👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎🏁
