Wes's Model Car Corner has announced the release of an injection molded modern dirt late model kit. According to Wes, all white styrene, about 100 parts. He recieved feedback that the modified were a little intimidating for some builders, so they worked to lower the parts count. Molds are currently being cut. Everything from design, molds, molding and packaging being done in the US.

They're taking pre orders for a 4th quarter release. Good news!!

That's AWESOME. Wonder how many drivers they are going to produce? Showing 2 on the website. I bet this is gonna take off once released. Hope they make decals for some of my Illinois boys.

I'm in for one, maybe two. Like most every kit I build, they will probably be a phantom build. With this great news, I really hope that Wes comes out with an asphalt late model kit.

I think mine will be fantasy builds too. At least the first one. Mostly (nah, totally) because i have no idea who the drivers are. I hope that the kits will come out with national level drivers from WoO and Lucas. Or at least someone jumps on it and prints decals.

Long ago I've built 1 or 2 of this type racer that were very challenging due to primitive and/or poor quality casting. When I see newer well done ones available I'm torn as I already went through so much work before to finish one but think I might deserve to enjoy building another that's presented well to the builder.
