Great find at a train show prebuild very poorly so only a buck.

Torn apart now and will end up on a Scally NASCAR chassis and motor.

Boyz have taken most of the side trim off but not too worried on how it looks now with the patches they made.

Seeing flat black highlights and not sure of the color yet, need to see what is on the shelf.

After a couple of races color won't matter much anyways!!

Lots of traveling after January 5th, so working on gettng all these projects before a dry spell!!

The Boyz are going with a flat black theme, and starting to line up the bumps.

I'll second what Jim said. The flat black is very cool against that teal.

Not a color combo I'd have thought of, and I love it!

Boyz keep moving forward with sponser lettering etc., while the chassis - motor crew are having issues getting everything to fit right.

It looks its going to another year till get it done!!!

Hey Leadfinger..........

Hard to tell but the Chevy has had a good bath of dullcoat, to keep the flat black flat and knowing the Boyz aren't great with keeping things polished very long, with them becoming distracted way to easy!!

Boyz head out of town for the next month so they wanted to get the 57 buttoned.

Runs great with the big orange 0 Ford and the rest of the classics!!

Looks great Denny as the whole field does. I'm liking the 20 car in the back ground too. Jim
