that's some nice clean building there. having built the street version of this kit, the chassis makes more sense seeing it built as a racecar. (they used the same chassis/interior for the street version:-?)

thanks! the street charger and dukes of hazzard kits were based from the nascar version to save them money

mpc actually went to the Petty nascar shop and used his real car to make this kit. It's probably the most accurate nascar kit ever made

Excellent work, as usual, JT.  If I could climb in and hit the start switch, I'd drive it home.Wink

Great work on the chassis and engine. This kit, along with the Petty kit, was always a favorite of mine when they first came out back in the mid 70's. It's nice to see it being built as well as yours.

I'm saving a number of pictures from your posts, to use as reference when I build the kit later this spring.  Good work and nice photos- thanks.
