Project IROC: Richard Pettys #10

[Matt Wadlinger]

Here is my IROC car. Richard Pettys Bright Green car. I custom mixed the color starting with Testors Lacquer Grabber Green, and added some Testors Header White, and Cobra Colors Cobalt blue. My pics look a lot darker than the color really is. My camera never shoots blues correctly.

I've completed a bit more of the body. It is now polished, and the window trim painted. The wing is assembled and complete, and I've added BMF to the lens areas. The headlights were painted and added too.

Wow, this was a super productive weekend. I got this Porsche almost ready to finish. A couple nights work will get it ready for the show.

I started with the front and rear suspension.

Then I moved on to the engine. The trumpets were made by combining a Sakatsu turned aluminum intake with the kit part.

The wheels were painted and the center hole drilled. I decaled the tire, and sprayed the whole thing with acryl flat clear.

The interior is completed also. I just need seatbelts installed.

Is that salsa drippings on that exhaust? I think in between snacks we did manage to get some work done. Looks like you got the most accomplished and very good work I might add! The engine looks great.
