Finished this one up for a local racer. It's a model of his car that races in our track's vintage division.

 :)  WOW.  That is really neat.  Green and black together  have become quite interesting to me of late, but I have not tried one yet. 

Another nice one, Jackie.

Man...looks GREAT Jackie. I'll bet he was happy....you did a killer job. Say...I see American Racer tires on this bad boy. Where did you get the decals for them? A lot of the builds that I have coming up, the teams used them.

Thank you. Plastic Performance Products makes tires and includes several decals. Choices include Firestone, Hoosier, Goodyear, McCreary, and American Racer.

Thanks everyone. I love to do these type cars. The ones that are lettered by computers are the ones I hate to try to duplicate.
