Had to retire from the drifting circuit.

I'm guessing that this is a Photoshopped picture of your model?

It's a cool way to depict it, and it looks nicely done! I would black out the grill a little more with a wash though.

I dunno....she sits like a tanker! You'd never be outta gas! 

You'd both be right. It's a model of David Pearson's Holman Moody modified Grand National Fairlane sitting in front of the fenced in security lot at my 1/25 scale Echoes of Thunder restoration facility. I used PaintShop to add me and to airbrush all the race lettering off. It has all the subtle "Moody Magic" that went into getting a Fairlane race ready back then even though I forgot the grill wash. Funny thing you notice the lack of grill wash but missed the radiused and flaired fenders. You're right though, it would have looked better.

LOL  I hear ya. But, at 150 mph, dirt=drag, so out comes the Simoniz. Sometimes, way back before pop rivets, they would even line the slots in the sheet metal screw up with the direction of airflow. And you thought the military modelers were anal.
