Are you going to leave the passenger side window out? Noticed while looking at photo's from that year that most teams didn't use one on short tracks.

No window. I have a good shot of the passenger side of Denny's car from Martinsville at this race.

In other news....Mother effing done!

It needs a few touch ups, and a couple of PE bolt details fell off. I will take care of those on Friday. Now I just hope this thing makes the trip to Farmers Branch in one piece!

Gulf racing paint schemes have always been my favorite.

This one is particularly interesting. The light blue has a pearl coat and the dark color is a metallic brown.

WOW! That looks awesome! Good luck

That is amazing, the only question I would ask is tape on the grill, but I'm sure you've seen enough photo's to do with the tape.

That is the best NASCAR model I've seen made step by step. Makes the one I did for the fair in 2001 look like crap (I was 13 when I did it). I love the amount of detail that you put into it.

Damn fine work. That's unbelievable.

Tape on the upper grille? I tried to put some tape on it, however, since I opened it up and put mesh in it, I had trouble with the tape laying in a realistic fashion. Hindsight, I should have thinned the opening.

I used to build models.... I still do but not cars, and I suck in comparison. If we ever have a chance, I have a great story about the safety ropes on the hood. I also have some good stories about Benny Parsons championship car. My dad was a crew chief for a not so famous driver back in the day. They had some chances to make it big time but didn't.

If you don't win the show, then the judges needs to get punched in the face!

My sentiments exactly!

There are some areas that are a bit....sloppy, or could be executed better. Those are the areas that concern me. If I happen to get a NASCAR fanatic as a judge, that will hurt, especially if they are familiar with the Denny Hamlin cars, or if they try to pull reference shots. There are definitely some inaccuracies.

Makes sense, and it only looks most cars had a small layer on the top.
