Mike are you going to weather it so the bottom is a dirty white from the numerous cleanings?

Howdy Curt,

Thanks for your question.  

I saw a photo somewhere of black stock cars with the lower parts bleached white from lye.  I plan to do something similar.

Have fun,
mike

White stains and straw bits are what I've seen in pictures of stock car floors...

Thanks Dave.  I hadn't seen the straw, but I have some left over from the Parish Livery build.  I'll use it too.  Thanks again and have fun, mike

Howdy folks,

I started back in working on the stock car.  Today I added the external bracing and started bracing the doors.  Here is a photo of the progress.



Next is to finish bracing the doors, drilling the grab holes, and black paint.

Have fun,
mike
