Jay Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 With this finished, I have a few days rest before we head down to Atlanta. This is a POS AMT kit… reworked into a respectable model. Major roll cage bashing went into this to get the body down nice. I also cut the fuel cell off an old Monogram chassis and added it. AMT molded theirs flush under the car. The paint is Rustoleum neon pink topped with U Pol clear and the decals are Powerslide. Up next, the City Chevrolet Lumina on the Revell kit!
slusher Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Awesome model. So good to see one of these classics. Fine job building it...
kruleworld Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 easily the best Daze of Thunder car i've seen built.
Maxicoop Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 that is one awesome race car !!!!! beautifully built !!!
jaymichaelsdesigns Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 As a Nascar Builder this one came out really nice with all the great decal work
bbowser Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Very nice! I love the subtle weathering around the gas filler and overflow vent, and the lettering on the tires is very convincing. The "Days of Blunder" cars are seldom seen done this well
karbuildr Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Very nicely done, I always liked that movie. Very sharp.
Jay Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 Thanks guys!! The movie was terrible, but as a kid, the cars made it for me. He's a few more of the movie cars I've built.
JordanFordF1 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Great looking builds. Makes me want to go home and watch it again. Days of Thunder a bad movie? And this from a generation that thinks the snooze-fests Bullit and Grand Prix were good movies.

And this from a generation that thinks the snooze-fests Bullit and Grand Prix were good movies. It's "Topgun" on a racetrack, but I still love it. It didn't live up to the hype at the time but then few do. I think Grand Prix was an awesome film, saw it when it first came out.
Ace-Garageguy Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Fine, fine looking models. Realistic and convincing. Very well photographed too.
kalbert Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 Those look good. Easily the best Days of Thunder models I've seen done.
Danno Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Excellent work. Love the fuel filler/vent tube spills!
RAMBENNA Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 come on I thought the movie was a good but I love your builds great looking cars
Southern Fried Posted November 9, 2014 Posted November 9, 2014 I rarely click the NASCAR link, but something told me to tonight. All I can say is ...Wow... Those cars blew me away. I'll be checking in more often.
