You're doing a great job so far mate,as a Nascar fan it's surprising how similar the cockpit and suspension components were back then to what they're like now.

Re: Alan Kulwicki 1991 Ford Thunderbird
Great to see you building an "Underbird". Alan Kulwicki was one of the great late model drivers who thundered around the midwest and got to take the candy out of the southerner's mouths back when that was a big deal in NASCAR. Between Kulwicki and Tim Richmond, NASCAR had a lot of reasons not to be too fond of anyone who raced at Sandusky Speedway (my home track) for quite some time.

Excellent progress, I really like the detail on the front suspension in particular. The seat is a great work in itself.

Awesome work! I like the subtle weathering you are applying to the chassis!

Re: Alan Kulwicki 1991 Ford Thunderbird
Great work so far, extremely clean.

Just wondering what color your using for your chassis, it looks to be a pretty close match to the current chassis color. Looks lighter than the Krylon Pewter Grey.

Re: Alan Kulwicki 1991 Ford Thunderbird
Great work James. Beautiful pics too. Can you give us some tips for getting that nice soft lighting? Are you using a soft box?
