Very good pics of all the models. I was the one that built this model as well as six other entries. I 'm very pleased with seeing these pics posted. This kit was built in memory of my Grandfather it is of the car he used to race and the truck he towed it with. I took 3rd place in the class with this one. This was the first contest that I've ever been to and of the seven entries that I had I was able to get a 2nd place and two 3rd place awards what a surprise that was. Anyway thanks for posting the great pics to show all the talent in the hobby. Thanks Ron Carnrike
Thanks Mark. You are correct,it was the early 80's release that was a rescued Ebay glue bomb. The roof was chopped at the A & B pillars an additional scale 2 inches. I always liked the clean showcar look of Maynard's cars. He even ran a carpet in the interior of his Pinto!! He was rumoured to be considering running a Maverick bodied modified but instead kept running his Pinto and a Mustang II SuperSpeedway modified on the big tracks. This is just my interpretation of what it might have looked like if it ever was built. Regards Glen.
