This time I'm going ahead with the 1991 Tony Elliott #17. Going a little crazier with this build as far as details go. So far Ive got the chassis updated pretty close to the real car. Also trying my hand at scratchbuilt shocks and some other goodies. Here's where I'm at right now:





Chassis's now all painted and ive started the painting process on the body colors. Decals already in hand for this build to.

Thanks for looking.

Maybe if I can actually attend some races this summer I'll quit building these things. LOL

Joe I don;t think any of the model builds I have seen are anywhere close to a bother. I think they are awesome . Please keep posting all of them

Well, the paint for this Elliott car is fighting me tooth and nail. So.....I got to working on the 1991 Dave Darland car. Here's a quick mock-up of the car so far. All decals done by me. Beachy logo came out orange instead of red, o well. Still pretty happy with it so far. Enjoy
