I built this to look like the cars I used to see race at the Nashville Fairgrounds Speedway back in the mid-late 60's. This kit comes with a great chassis to use for building race cars so that's what I did with it. Sanded off the chrome, drilled holes where the chrome would have mounted and opened up the wheel wells. Built a roll cage, stock dash with gauge panel added, seat from Ramchargers kit with bolster, headrest and harness added. Wheels and tires from Freds Resin Workshop and my decals. The colors are Rustoleum Antique White and Orange.

Another real nice model Mike.
