“Richard Petty was my racing hero while I was growing up in the '60s and '70s,” Chris says. So he made this replica of the 1964 Plymouth Belvedere NASCAR stock car Richard Petty drove to his first Daytona 500 win. Chris finished the AMT 1/25 scale kit with Splash Paints, brought in Plastic Performance Products wheels and tires, and found the appropriate markings from PowerSlide. He detailed the trim with Bare-Metal Foil and AK Xtreme Metal Chrome, and the final touch was a pair of Detail Master hood pins.
