My first post to make sure I understand the process for photos.......recently completed this build of Benny Parsons Lemans. Benny & DW sat on the front row of the 1982 Winston 500 and was the first ever 200 MPH front row in Nascar history.
This was my first build with a resin body (SMH), making my own glass etc. Used a Monogram chassis with a few modifications.
Thanks for looking

Excellent!!! Really nice work with the resin body (not always the easiest thing to do). What did you use to make your own glass? Fit, finish, decals. . . the whole nine-yards just look great!

Excellent build, Mark. Appreciate it even more after I clicked on it to make it bigger and saw how clean a build it is.
