well I went through the junk pile in my model stash, found parts from three doner gtx's to build another petty ride , this body will be matted to the unbuilt chassis and roll cage from the petty charger kit , what you see below are the parts i have rounded up, , i ground out the inner fender wells and have ground and prep the filler to make it look like a STOCK car instead of a stock car. I am scanning mikesdecals.com for a decal kit for this new beast. this will be the all petty blue 71 roadrunner- Plymouth by Petty

heres an idea - go to flea markets buy kits that are assembled and bring them home. Get em good and wet and stickem in the freezer after a day or so you can diassemble it and have lots of left over parts
Good idea.:cheers:
