'71 Petty Roadrunner

I just finished my version of Richard Petty's 1971 Roadrunner. I used many of the parts from the Monogram '71 Roadrunner kit. The 426 Hemi engine came from the MPC '70 Coronet Super Bee. The rollcage, seat, window net, dashboard, rear end cooler, fire extinguisher, shock absorbers, and firewall were all handmade. The tires and wheels were resin copies. The hood was a resin copy of the GTX hood, but the large bump in the middle was sanded down to make it level with the rest of the hood. The decals were from Slixx. Here's the pics:
