Dale Earnhardt Junior 2002 Budweiser Monte Carlo
Well I have decided to start something new and I shall see how far I get. I have always liked the look of the 2000's Monte Carlo, even though I am a Ford fan, and well the red of the Budweiser cars has always been a lure.
So here we go with a Junior build, I have decided to add some extra details and how much we shall see how it goes as time passes.

Well I have been very slack and not added anything to this build thread for sometime. As you can see painting is done, decals are going on and so far so good. Paint is Tamiya TS8, i applied the white stripes and then cleared in 2K so use as a mask to then paint the black. It worked OK, i just need to touch up the black areas prior to final clear coat.

Re: Dale Earnhardt Junior 2002 Budweiser Monte Carlo
Cool to see a Nascar on this site. I just received the Dale JR AC Delco car, which is the lower series Busch/Xfinity whatever series car....but I think it is the exact same tooling as this.
Did you paint the interior and chassis red as ONE complete unit or did you paint and put it together in pieces? Looks awesome. I am watching you....
