Read lots of coverage of Gerald back in the 70's in Stock Car Racing Magazine but I never got to see him in action or those type cars.    You have the touch for getting those cars to "Look" the right way.  I do not have one single east coast mod in my built collection but I do have a few of the Tobias chassis kits.  Great job on this but again, ALL your stuff is super nice.  Keep building these beautiful models, It keeps me going back to the bench and improve somewhere or build something.

Really like this one!  Proportions are spot on, the lines flow nicely and the finish details are great.  Was fortunate to see Chamberlain run this car a few times.  Brings back some great memories.

Beautiful replica of the Chamberlain 76. Well done as usual.
I also got to see this car race a few times, brings back a lot of good memories.

NO, David, I don't like it. I like it a LOT! Is that a resin body, or did you modify a stock version? Either way, great looking race car.

Yes, the smooth flow of the body and hood line makes this car look so great. Very sharp!

Ditto to all of the above! I've never seen the East Coast mods in person, but you've captured the 'look & feel' of one with this Falcon build!

Another iconic replica of a great racer. You did well! I remember seeing this car in all the old 70's racing papers back in the day. Great work as always buddy!
