I have been working on this one of and on for over 16 months. I seen a car at a show back in 06 that had the motor out of the car so I figured I would try and tackle one. The motor, rearend, rear springs, drive shaft, track bar and battery are all display outside of the car. A ton of scratch built parts along with a host of after market part went into the build. Some of the suppliers are R B Motion, MCG and Detail Masters.

I used 2 '07 kits and part from earlier NASCAR kits along with a ton of plastic from Evergreen and Plastisturct. Body was painted with Tamyia red and clear with Dupli-Color paint shop clear.

There is to much to list as far a what I did scratch build, so if you got any question just ask.

Enjoy,
Dan
