Building this for my brother Ron, as raced in the late 60s early 70s. The body is a Resin piece that he gave me, could be a Jimmy Flinstone one off. Not sure. The rest of the parts are all available from The 64 Galaxie Modified stocker kit.

Very nice. Who was the 27 car? Looks a lot like Gordy Gahagan. Don't know why I didn't know Ron. Early 70's were my best years. Raced 4 nights a week.
Rett
Yes that is Gordy. They each owned and built they're own cars, painted and lettered them to match, with Ron's Dean Tire Dealership as a sponsor. Ron says he looked back at his old Racing News' and found that you did race together. I will get more details on that and let you know. It is great to be back in touch with him again!
I hope my memory isn't going away! I ran a lot with Gordy but don't remember Ron.
Rett
I like that ! Gonna be a good one!
Rick :)
Looks like a good start on a different racer. Not too many full-size cars have been built as models. More updates please.
Looking good so far, keep us posted on your progress.
I love replica's.

I hope to chg that! I've got some '60 Starliners to use for more of my big Fords. Just can't seem to find time right now to get to it!

Got some paint on it, Modelmaster Hugger Orange Interior is near done, and other little things.
