1988 Daytona 500 Winner Bobby Allison

[jjsipes]

After completing my 1983 Winston Cup Championship car, I dug through my stash and found this one. Thought i might as well work on this one. Started as Quaker State Buick. Primed and painted with Tamiya Gold, Testors Gloss White. Powerslide decals and then Cleared the body. Found a white chassis to paint res and will use the green molded chassis for a black chassis instead of trying to prime and paint it red. I didn't like how the windows go in from the inside since the real cars had flush mount by this time so I worked on the opens and windows to get them to fit flush. Time will tell if it will work properly.

Flush fit windshield. Not to bad. Got the rear window taped in to dry.

Looking good. Most of us would be afraid to show such a close up shot. But you have nothing to worry about, looks awesome.

Flush fit rear window could be a little better but, will do.

I temporarily placed the windows in from the inside like the kit comes and marked the opening on the windows. I then filed them down to fit the opening. Glued some plastic strip on the inside of the body to hold them in. Taped up the windows to protect them and laid them in place to add a little putty to have a smooth transition where needed from windows to roof.sanded flush removed the windows and painted body.
