[JTRACING]

another one im working on for about a week or so now..

it will be similiar to this car but my own version


first step just to fill in all the mold lines and stuff.


i blended in this drivers side bar to the body like they have them now





I updated the roll bars using .080" tubing to replace the kits roll bars


chassis is painted light grey






made some roll bar padding and zip ties, ran a few wires, and made the mounting plate for the ignition boxes.





another small update, I added the two fire bottles and lines, one for the fuel cell (trunk area) and one for the driver compartment.





I also added a small "nextel cup" decal on the passenger door roll bar you can see it in this pic

added the fuel line, painted the oil coolers, and added the rear shelf, and put a "daleearnhardtinc.com" decal on it






got some work done on the seat and dash, and helmet
flocked the seat, made some seatbelts & added some sponsor logos around it









made up some msd boxes and coils, added a few more wires, and stuck the seat in.

small progress, i got the body work done and sprayed on some primer.
next i'll spray on a base coat of white to make the red more bright

James.....why not just use white primer and save the extra layer of paint? I use white under almost everything.

did a bit on the rims today.

Im using wheels and tires from the older revell kits as they are much better looking and fit better!

im just waiting on the new style "goodyear" decals from JWBTM to come in the mail, they should be here in a few days and then i can finish detailing the tires!

[JTRACING]

ok getting close now..

I still need to add all the small details on the body. and finish up the tires.

[JTRACING]

well the body is pretty much done, only needing to add jack posts.,
I did my normal weathering to it, this is how i like them!

now just waiting on the mail man to bring me my tire decals! and this will be finished!
