Living in central PA puts me right in the middle of one of the biggest hotbeds of dirt tracks anywhere.Being I attend Williams Grove Speedway weekly my favorite race car is the 410 sprintcar.Going to go box stock except I am not doing the Wild Childs car.Already have the diecast on the shelf.So i decided to go with a custom paint job and diferent sponsors.  |

Thanks for the words of wisdom.Coming along nicely and as aussiemodeler said not much left to do.All body panels are painted sorry forgot to take pictures during process and got some panels and fuel tank installed.I think I should be able to finish this build in the next couple of days.   |

I think it looks really good like it is. I don't like the wings myself, but I'm old school.

TY for the compliments.Even though it's fearly simple build I put a lot of thought into the paint scheme and am very happy with what I came up with.Since it has small coverage for paint I went through all my left over paints from recent builds and this is what I came up with.Best part is leftover paints are free!I actually just finished it and once the glue dries I'll be posting the pics.

I think it looks really good like it is. I don't like the wings myself, but I'm old school. lol You must be from the mid-west.East coast fans see mostly winged sprints but when USAC makes there way through PA in June every year the stands are packed.I usually try and make one of the shows. |

Wanted to post last night but storms knocked out the electric for a while last night but I have a few minutes today before I go and watch some of these badass machines fly around the track tonight.Hopefully the rain holds off.The rest of the pics will be up in the finished area shortly.  |
