Hi All!
I know that it has been a long time since I have posted any of my finished models. I have been having some back problems over the past 7 weeks, and I have not felt like working on models. I am getting better and finally completed this one. This is a replica of the '64 Dodge HT that Dave Strickler drove in Super Stock at the beginning of the season. When GM pulled out of racing in '63 Dave like many other drivers lost their rides. The first pic is of the actual car and the rest are of my model. I hope that you enjoy looking at it.

Thanks for looking,
Barry

If that's based on the kits for the "Color Me Gone" and others (Lindberg?), then builders need to do modifications to the exhaust to get the pipes nearer the chassis. Other than that, a very nice build. Last, where are the decals from?

The decals for the most part are Fred Cady. I also made some additinal ones on my computer to match the real car. Thanks, Barry
