I've collected up several NASCARs and a set of decals for Alan Kulwicki's #7 Desert Storm Army T-Bird and Jerry Nadeau's #01 Army Grand Prix. Of course, now I need Joe Nemechek's #01 Army Monte Carlo. I've also got Joe Schumaker's The Sarge dragster.

I've seen that pile in my shop, I just started doing military models but I have about 200+ in small scale building that I do for N Scale (1/160) trains. When you have building 2 to 5 inches tall it takes a lot to build a town and more for a city.
Looks like you got a lot to keep you busy this winter Mother.

Hey Joe,
Do you have a Dom Prudhomme Snake funny car in your stash? What better way to get back to cars then that classic Drag racer!

Beautiful collection of car models.
I only have about 15 car models in my stash, but more than 100 build. Perhaps I should take a few pictures
