That is fantastic. I think I can see you in a reflection in the fender it's so shiney.
Really really nice job. Are the exhaust pipes aluminum or AM add-ons?
You know you can submit any of your kits for an MOD whenever you want.

Great build! I like your modeling. I wonder, though, why you don't snap some photos of the underside chassis and the engine? The heart of a race car is the engine and the chassis is the reason it stays on the track during 4 hours of left turns. I'd love to see the details you put into that motor!
Great stuff, man!

Great work James very clean like all your models, i to agree a finished shot of the engine and chassis would be great, one question about what year would this car have been raced.

Another top job James. If it's not a curbside, I too would very much like to see the engine.

Great work! Always a joy to look at your stuff! Thanks!
A quick question, what is the function of cover for the grilles? Being in a cold country I can't help but think that it is for reducing the cold air-flow, but thought I would ask...

thanks guys!
the pipes are just aluminum tubing.
I dont build thr engines or detail the undeneath on most of my Nascar's since i make alot of them those parts are the same each time and it gets boring to make them lol.. i just make "shelf models"
they add grill tape to increase downforce, they can remove or add more during a race etc.. it makes a big differance in the handling of the cars.
this is around 1990 or '91
