Short Track and NASCAR modeling

Man that car looks great, love the old flatties in those builds.

Built a Revell '32 Ford 5 window, with a '40 Ford flathead. Fantasy tribute to the corner gas station.>

Hope you like the old jalopy.

Due to inclement weather, today's race has been postponed to Sunday, April 12th.

Thanks, Steve. I can always count on you for a reply to help me keep my hopes up for a good result. I would hate to have to end this build after so many long hours at it. We shall see what happens.

I know that as humans, we tend to be our own worst critics. That being said, the wheel and tire combo you've shown look great to me Mark. I wish that I had your skills and the courage (guess that's the correct word) to start a build where no kit exists. I'm amazed by each update.

Steve

I have the tire as smooth as I can get it and working on the wheel to get it finished so I can paint them both and see if they are good enough to continue the model. If not, there is no need to finish the other tires and wheels or continue to the body. I will just put this build aside and start a model car kit build that I know I can finish. Maybe someday I can find a kit for a 1957 f250 Maserati formula one car. So far none are available that I can find.

I always stick the nose in a pan of hot water and then pull it out and lightly bend the nose downward until it looks level. Don't leave it in the water too long as to not deform the fenders. I'm pretty sure that "HobbyDude007" has a tutorial on YouTube when he takes a wedge out of the wheel well opening.

  No problem. I will use one of my built models. 

  Anyone have a complete '90 to '96 asphalt  late model kit ( which means NASCAR, I guess ) you would trade for a 34 Slammer modified kit ? The kit is new, opened, but complete.  I'd be willing to refund your shipping cost. I don't want the 77 Pontiac GTO that is so popular right now. Just don't like the nose on that car. 

The story is that I keep thinking I am just about done with all this, but one thing leads to another, and then another.  You know how it goes.  It is a sickness. But,  people my age need a few things to look forward to. I'll probably have some plastic when I leave this earth.  I can only do so much porch time every day.   

I have a '96 Dually, and the makings to scratch  an open trailer, but an old  modified coupe just doesn't  seem to go with that.

So, help me if you can.  Thanks.
