Ned Jarrett 1964 Dixie 400 winner
« on: October 17, 2022, 09:21:08 AM »
Got this one done after 3 months. Amt kit purchased at Walmart. 145 hours. It's one of those sealed hood models with molded in seats and exhaust so lots of cutting and adding is required. I also tried to change the automatic transmission underneath to look like a manual trnasmission. I have always liked the look of the 64 Ford, so I bought 2 more of the kits. This is the car That Ned won the Dixie 400 in that year.

Very nicely done, as are all of your NASCAR builds.  Even though in '64 I was a strong Chevrolet fan, I did enjoy watching Ned Jarrett race.
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

....Another outstanding build and really enjoyed reading the W.I.P and its related history.
The only heroes in Washington are buried just outside of it in Arlington
