I'm not sure of the year 95 or 96? Any of the amt NASCAR kits from that era are all the same pieces except body make. This one WAS the Terry labonte Kellogg's car until it met the purple pond. Somebody else had started the paint and decals and they were horrible

 Front stretch wall coming together. Now guys I meed some tips on getting a snowy looking texture to the base. I don't like cotton because it puffs up too much and catches everything |

Spray snow that's used on windows maybe? I thought of that my only question on it is will it stay on there or accept a layer of spray paint over it |

 OK what I came up with. Latex wall paint covered in salt. Once it dries spray paint flat white over it. It seems to be working really well |

Pretty good. That's going to look like ice and not snow I think. You might need to get some snow chains from Beast!

A ton of bodywork to fix the warped body. Probably have more bondo and primer in some spots than original plastic. Still doesn't fit well but I can't do much more plus I have another kit that will be with it and the diorama to start on
The second car
Second chassis coming together
