I have a yellow one like that...haven't decided what to do with it yet, but a 70's late model sounds pretty cool!
Tell me about the #2 in your Avatar....???? |

Looks pretty sweet, Smitty! I love the look of the '70s late model/street stock cars. I may have to pick up one of these kits to build one myself. What
chassis will it sit on? And also, if Boss Bodies won't do it, I'm sure DReinecke would. Or maybe even Fred's Resin Workshop. They're not an HRW
poster, but they do great resin dirt track parts in 1/24-5. Keep us posted.

i noticed the frount was not right and i did some reserch. the wheel bass is longer than stock on a lste model so i cut the wheel wells farther forward and
filled the back part in it makes a huge differance.
