I'm going to be starting on this one next



this is the new 2006 chevy from Revell,

so far I did some body mods,

I cut off the kit side skirts and made new angled side skirts and added the right side exhaust opening. also cleaned up the rear spoiler and front valance of there molded on bolt detail..











here is the wheels / tires, just need to add the "goodyear" logos. once i order the decal sheet lol

As usual great stuff! I was wondering, didn't you have a cut-out for the Goodyear logo? Or was that someone else...

yeah i have a template, but that is for tires 1991 and older,
anything from 1992 - now , needs to be a decal or dry transfer. and in 2005 they changed the goodyear logo again to a much larger print with no #1 on it.

the decal sheet for this car comes with the tire decals.

here is a tire from before 1992



here is one from 1992-2004




and here is the 2005 - current

Great reference photos. Thanks for sharing.

Nice start so far James and those pictures make for good reference.

Those tires/wheels look amazing James.

Thanks for the info! Of course I should have figured things would change - change is constant! Awesome as usual!

Tose wheels look real nice may I ask you where you purchased them from.
Cheers James.

thanks, the tires wheels ocme in the kit, you have to paint and add decals etc..


got the body painted

:-) Thx anyway.

here is the seat, i noticed that he uses a grey seat so i used some grey flocking also

heres the dash so far.
I cut off the molded on ingition boxes, and made my own.

I still have to add gauges and detail the panel

Another sharp looking NASCAR James, great job with the tires. How did you get the "Tire Stickers" glued down. I was thinking...soon you'll have a 43 car field to hold your own race.

BTW: Which is your favorite track, mine is Daytona and Talladega.

Fantastic detail work on the seat and dash. Very well done.

If you have already told us (I know you get a ton of questions), I'm sorry for a repeat question. Whats your source for wire?

Great work James the dash detail looks awsome, Scott i don't know where James gets his wire from but you can try both the www.modelcargarage.com and www.detailmaster.com both of these sites have tons of stuff for scale model cars.

i get wire from radio shack, and also just old junk people throw out like radio's and computer mice etc..
