1979 Budweiser McLaren - Atlanta Twin 125 winner

First of all, I dont know what I'm doing but I'm having Fun

As you can see Im trying to make an old AMT Mclaren offy into a Mclaren Cosworth. With the different Cowl and Side pods.
Also the front nose was different from any other Mclaren at the time, with the narrowed up look. I will have to steal some front A-arms off of a PC6 along with the engine also.

Im going to have fun with decals from scratch.

Looks like you are off to a great start. I think I wondered about this a long time ago, but it got placed on the way back burner. Any JR car is a good car!

I'm wondering if there might be a NASCAR decal set that might have the Budweiser you could use. A lot of the rest look like they could be cobbled together from various sets. Slixx and others have done generic number sets that might be useful.

I thought of nascar decals too. The only one that might have any possibility would be the 1984 Budweiser Junior Johnson Sheet. I think Im just going to use that ink jet decal kit. Ive done it before on some stuff.

Actually the Atlanta winning car has white number 4's on the side pods and BUD on the nose. As you can see the picture is not from Atlanta.

Wow, that's a big undertaking but I wish you luck just the same.
Neat car. Maybe you can find someone who will print the decals.

A little bit cleaner.
I worked on the nose more and cowling also some more.
All I can say is "Slowly but surely"





Just for a good LOL this is what it started out like Bellow
