I've had this BillJ kit for a long time; to build or not to build??? Could not make up my mind. But I figured why not? So here goes. The kit and Indycals fine set  I've fiddled with the suspensions also notice the mirror and mount. . . ![]()   The "kit" mostly ready to proceed  And paint-as usual, the color doesn't show very well.I used Testors Bright Red and it looks good to me.   More to come |

I like it. Not only your car choice but you've also done a good job so far.
I missed the middle portion of the race and when I left the Target cars were dominating. So, I was pleasantly surprised to see Helio running in the clear up front with about 11 laps to go when I finally got back to a TV with the live broadcast.

Toward the end of the race, it seemed like every lap. Helio was asking "can I go now", and Cindric said "not yet, save fuel". When he said "OK, go", Helio smoked off Dixon going into turn 1, and the crowd went nuts. After that, it was all over.

I like this! We don't get to see very many of these Dallaras built.

Getting decorated  And the red bits  Same red paint, different lighting, neither pic what the color really looks like. . . Assembly will start when everything dries. . . |

Thank you. I really hesitated starting this because of all the folds and creases to mask around. A while ago Calvin suggested that I obtain some super thin tape. Using that tape, this project turned out as one of my better multi-color paint jobs. Now I just have to avoid dropping it !!

Looks like a winner to me. No tobacco ads but still the iconic paintjob. Nice to see these getting built.
