Nice build!!!!!!!! ;)
agreed!Very nice build!
That's really cool.

And YES....this IS the other GK based sprint that I hoped you would post here....
The car #'s look like they could have come from the AMT Tobias Modified kits or maybe the Modified Stocker series...
Have a feeling the GK kits are rather scarce again or a bit pricey WHEN they show up on Model Round Up or Spotlight Hobbies
Not sure if Larry at DTR still has any of those kits....
Maybe have to "bug" R2/AMT to get them to bring it back again.....as if they'd listen to any of us.....HA!
Back when they were available around ten years ago, I managed to grab a few of GK sprint kits...
In my hobby/computer room, have 4 of the GK sprint kits and 3 of the Edmunds, would have to check out the stash in the basement to come up with the total number of these kits.....
Very nice build Jim, great looking older sprint car.

Man Jim...another killer build.
fella's Thanks for the kind comment's , This old sprinter was about the most enjoyable model I built in a long time , I started this build when we lived in INDY 1999 I was planing on having Grant King sign this one along with one I built like his #20 sprinter but never did
we moved down here (texas) in Nov of 99 when I got our house all fixed up this is the first box of models I opened up and the frame was broke in half and in 3 pieces , I set my mind to fix and finish building this little sprinter , after about 2 months I had it looking like this , Carol put it in a model case and set it up over her computer on her shelf there it set for about 3 or 4 years , one of my racing friends seen it in a photo carol had taken of it , any way carol told our friend she wanted $100.00 for it LOL he offered $75.00 a few week latter carol got sick and we needed $$$ for med bill's , by this time our friend was on the road with the World of outlaws so Carol put it on Ebay I could not believe what she got for it .... it sold just under $200.00 so I had to say good by little buddie!! lol
sorry for the long post , took pain my meds and can't go to sleep my mind is running 100mph
Wow, another gem! You certainly have a way with these Sprinters, Jim. Fine work, indeed! 8) 8)
Thanks Bill glad you like this sprinter
