Unfortunate sad news this morning...Rest in peace Mr Baker. From the Live Desk: A race car legend is dead.
NASCAR great Buddy Baker passed away at 74 years old.
He had just announced last month that he had Inoperable Lung Cancer and left his role as co-host of SIRIUS XM NASCAR Radio.Â
Baker is one of eight drivers to have won a Career Grand Slam, by winning the sport's four majors. Hueytown's Bobby Allison is also in that group.
Baker's last race was in 1992 at the Winston 500 in Talledega.

I got to listen to him all the time on Nascar radio on my Sirius xm radio it's really a shame he was truly a great guy

He sure was, and he was one of those clean racers as well. If he didn't have the car, and knew it, he didn't hold anyone up. BUT, if he did have the car, LOOK OUT!!  |

Thank you CC it's actually a really good kit. I'm pretty sure it's the same set up so far as the big scale General Lee they both look identical

Hmmmmm........
And I have them both - once I get past this big scale funny car, I just may have to build it!!!

Nice can't wait to see yours. I wouldn't mind getting another general lee myself and just built it as a factory car instead of the General
