Replica build of an early asphalt modified. This is a Tom Baldwin Chevy Coupe. Shortened the Ridge Runner Pinto frame rails, scratch built cage, frame, shocks, fuel cell, hood and interior sheet metal. Big Donkey wheels and hubs, air cleaner. PPP tires. Decals from NY Modifieds. Feels good to finish one, pretty happy with the results.

Beautiful build, I really like it.

Brings back some great memories of the style racer used to see at "the MadHouse" when I was a 'bit' younger. Very nice looking build, especially like the way you closed off the front of the hood. Keep'em coming.
Excellent build, well done.

WOW!!!
That is one SHARP build!!
The only things that give this racer away as a model, is its pristine condition. A light coat of dust, a little burned exhaust paint, and a believable background photo, and this would be very hard to pick out as a model. Very nice job.

Super-clean build Mark! Excellent!!
Very nice. Like that light shade of yellow.
Thanks for all the positive feedback, much appreciated!
Sweet build!
That is a sweet one! Love all the old replica builds, especially the mods!
