W.I.P. - 1972 Bobby Allison #12 Coca-Cola Monte Carlo

New long-term project, gonna really take my time with this one. I got the really good Slixx decals for this car, gonna turn out great.

Problem is, the only NASCAR kits for 1st gen Monte Carlos are ultra-rare high-priced collector's items, so I gotta work with a factory Monte Carlo and cut it up. This won't be my first time doing that though :icon16:

Starting with this:

I've built a couple of these and never noticed this! I don't know if AMT did this by accident, or if it's actually from the old stockcar mold. If you look closely you can see a mold line that closely follows the rear wheelwell opening for the *stockcar* version. So I took the trusty dremel out, and now the wheelwells look perfect! Here it is with wheelwells done, trim and door handles removed.
