Shambles Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Not sure who the driver of this #8 was, but he crashed. That seems to happen a lot with my builds that don't turn out well. I've been wrecking model cars for decades. A 1/2" deep socket and a Dremel torch work well for making flat tires. http://www.shamblesmodels.com/wrecked.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim N Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Great work simulating the damage. Not sure what the problem was with the original. It looked good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shambles Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Thanks, Jim. I guess I'm still somewhat of a perfectionist but, at my age I need to get over that. The paint on this one was mediocre, the tires wouldn't seat on the rims, and a few other issues bothered me. Besides, it's always fun to crash one.

I went to Darlington several times in the 90s but, by then, they weren't doing the Darlington Stripe anymore. The new "stock" cars couldn't handle it.
