Cool vid Mark and more cooler is letting you take all the pics. Waiting on the next one!!!

Can't wait you see your work on this car. Your attention to detail is something else.
Many thanks buddy!! I really appreciate it!!
I still have all of them. Lol. Mountain dew. Piedmont, and Miller.
I have the Miller and Mountain Dew as well. Just never built them. LOL! Thanks for watching Jim!!
I have always used the thread technique to cut styrene. You pull the thread back and forth like a saw. Using a piece of tape as a guide.
Thanks brother!! I've heard of the sting method but haven't tried it yet. Many thanks for the reminder!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing Mark! 😎🇨🇦
Thanks Peter!!
one of my favorite race cars
Thanks!! Mine too!!
The toothpick trick is like a scale 2x2… makes sense to me!!
As a big fan of the 80’s and 90’s Cup cars I love this series! Thanks Mark.
Thanks Gary!! More to come!
Good stuff yet again Mark…
Thank you my friend!!
great reference shots😀
Thank you!!
love that Roadrunner. can't wait for that.
Thanks Doug!! It's coming my friend!!
@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 when you spray your Alclad do you seal it.
@@dougherold2545 I don't seal it Doug but I have been thinking about it!
This is great! I am working on a Regal now, so this will be helpful! Believe it or not, I have never built the Pontiac Grand Prix of this era.
Thank you my friend!! Glad it’s helpful!!
Really looking great Mark.
Thanks David!!
Thank You for showing this
I really like the 81 -85 GM stockers
- and that includes the non winning Olds Cutlass
Thank you my friend!! Love that era too! And a big yes! That Cutlass was very cool!!
Great information for an extremely addictive side of the auto modeling pursuit. Bravo
Thank you David!!
Alabama and the song was all about king Richard. They where so many stories. One was the pit security guard would not let Richard Petty two daughters enter to join Richard and there mother. I appreciate you so much for all you do. I am doing the DW #11 Mountain Dew Buick right now. Thank you for sharing the pictures of the real car. And how to do more detailing. You took a lot of awesome pictures. Have a great week buddy 👍👍👍🤠🤠🤠🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁😎
Thank you my friend!! I remember that song! Really a good one!
I have a pit pic somewhere of the trunk area of the Mountain Dew Regal. The layout is almost the same. As I recall it had a two strap fuel cell cage.
More to come!! God Bless!!
Mark thanks for the lessons. As usual a terrific video!
Thanks so much my friend!!
Hey Mark, another awesome video. I use to race one of these on dirt.
Thank you my friend! They did make good looking dirt cars!!

This is a great video, thank you Mark!! This comes timely, I am working on two PE Buicks currently!
Thanks my friend!! Glad it's helpful! Have fun!!
Wow just look at the stance of that car just amazing
Thanks Warren!! Yes, it really dose!
Wow!!!! You know I have struggled with this part of my building. It’s been very frustrating to try and learn this stuff. Thanks soooo much for sharing mark.
Thank you Terry!! I really want this series to be something helpful and fun for all of us! Thank you so much for your support my friend!!
Thanks Mark, you just put into overload. Lol. Got some ideas from ya. Film at 11.

Thank you Alan!! Hopefully it’s fun and helpful!
Awesome video Mark. Last time I checked Replica's and Miniatures of Maryland had SBC Moroso valve covers.
BIG thanks Edgar!!! I totally forgot about checking with Norm! I'm on it!! Thanks again!!
@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 My pleasure , I haven't built a NASCAR kit in many many years but thinking of getting Salvinos 71 Charger to do Bobby Issac's car as I recently found my old MPC K and K insurance Charger Daytona (which was built in my teens) which is in sad shape and so inaccurate. So I will be following your channel as it is my favorite.
Love this, Mark!!!
Thank you Cole!!
@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 will you be doing a build series on this Buick then? Or are you just showing off various details on multiple cars with this series?
@@LagoAZ Hi Cole! To answer your question, a little of both. I will be starting an unusual Lumina Project next, then a charger (I hope). The Regal is a MUST, high on the list!
That was truly awesome, brother, thank you! 😁✌️
Many thanks my friend!!
Ton of info there Mark lots of good pictures to work with for sure , Buddy you had to be like a kid in the candy store when they let you see all that stuff on the car and for them to open her up for you oh yea 👍 can't wait to see you build of this car sure to be a show stopper .Enjoyed the video can't wait for the next update .
Thanks Deen!! More vids like this to come! I really want this series to be fun and helpful!!
Fantastic!
Many thanks Mike!!
Great access and great details.
Thanks Ron!!
Great info Mark! 👍
Thanks my friend!!
Looking good 👍 thanks for sharing your talent's with us and as always, love you! ✝️👍
Thank you my excellent brother!!! You know I love this stuff! LOL! Love ya too buddy!!!
I saved this to watch and screen shot later. Lots of info in it. Don't know how much of the real stuff. I will put into my model. But looks like it will be extensive. I need one of these for the 200th win car. I want to do a ton of work on my 1/16th car of it.
The “200” car is coming as well! Many thanks for watching buddy!!
Hey Mark, I’m watching this excellent video again, and I came upon the topic, of the “ mysterious, triangular-shaped, raised panel on the dash : my theory is it was actually fabricated to assist Richard, when he disconnected the steering wheel, and needed to place it on the dash, for quick access etc. . This would have kept it from potentially “hanging-up” on the gauge face-plate when removing or installing the wheel (that’s why it’s probably raised 2 inches or so. It’s size and shape (perimeter) accommodates the wheel perfectly, while minimizing excessive weight (if simply spanning the width of the dash) . It also has a rounded front edge, to aid with the egress of placement and retrieval of the wheel. Just a thought, not a sermon (lol)
Thanks brother!! Didn't think about that. Makes a lot of sense!
Great video....it reminds me of the old "Pit Pass" feature is Scale Auto Enthusiast back in the day. Looking forward to which cars you do next
Thank you my friend!! We'll be looking at "Pit Pass" issues coming up soon too! I really want this series to be fun and helpful!
Great shots and insight into that specific car. Thanks brother👍👍
Thanks buddy!! More to come!!
Awesome video again Mark. This series is such a great idea and will help so many of us.
Thanks my friend!! It is certainly helping me!! Lol!
Another Amazing Video!! Thanks !!
Many thanks John!!
Thanks for the video, very interesting for us in Europe, who just can´t go to Level Cross in N.C. About the scribing tools; maybe the Tamiya black scriber is OK, but I am using the Tamiya "FINE ENGRAVING BLADE", It comes in four sizes 0,1 - 0,2 - 0,3 and 0,5 m.m. and are made of Tungsten-Carbide. Especially the 0,1 m.m blade is very suited for opening doors and deck lids etc.
Thanks for watching my friend!! And many thanks for the info on the “Fine scribing tool”!! I will be trying that out for sure!!
Have an awesome week!!
Wow! This was an amazing video!! I’m gonna save it for my references! Thanks so much! I’ve got a bunch of Petty cars to build. I’ve been working off of old magazine pictures, and this is truly one of the best I’ve ever seen! 👍
Many thanks Steven!! Glad it's helpful. That's what I wanted this series to be about!! More to come! Thanks again!!
Alabama played for Richard Petty's tribute.
Yep!
Man those are some awesome detail pictures. How great Mark. Ron
Many thanks Ron!!
Fantastic video! Thank you so much for posting these, I've been planning on building that car for a while. The Petty Brothers (Maurice's sons) mentioned the work that went into that car on a recent episode of their show. That car has long interested me since it started out as a Dodge Mirada before a disappointing test at Daytona led them to reskin it as a Buick with a GM engine. Being a Laughlin chassis it was probably one of the first Mopars built in Nascar with a coil spring suspension.
Thank you Matt!! Glad it’s helpful! I have a resin Miranda body that was made for the Laughlin chassis I picked up at a swap meet some years ago. Makes an interesting subject.
Fun video, Mark. Excellent resource photos you got. Can't wait to see you do this build.
Following along with your video.....when you got to the front suspension it blows my mind that cup cars didn't even use double shear shock mounts and they're using what appears to be stock MOOG balljoints. These were the "top of the line" cars for their day, but I've seen better built late models, sportsmen and even street stocks in the 90's and 2000's. It goes to show the evolution of safety and technology. As you're familiar with racing, Cup always seemed to trickle down to the short tracks. It was monkey see, monkey do. Heck, I used to buy used parts from cup teams and I bought my fare share of Bilstein shocks from cup teams when they still ran conventional big spring chassis setups. Great series, Mark.
Thank you brother!! I really want this series to be fun and helpful!
Some of the suspension components surprised me too! Things sure have changed since then. LOL!
Mark, Thank you for the great tips and techniques in this episode. I've always been a "stock box" model builder but this video has opened up a new way of detailing that I'm definitely going to explore and enjoy! Thanks again ++++!!
Thanks my friend!! Glad it was helpful and inspiring!! Make it fun!!
Mark, what a great video. Thank you for the tips and fantastic pictures of the car. I'm building my first Buick also. I've always built the Dodge or the Plymouth of his cars. Next will be the 83 Pontiac.
Thank you Greg!! I'm a MOPAR guy myself! I'm looking forward to some of the later cars too!!
Extremely informative video. As always you did a great job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks much Michael!!
Wonderful image documentation. I can’t wait to see this project progress. You’ve almost lured me into making a stock car! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Zach!! Glad your inspired!
Awesome job Mark thanks for sharing
Thank you brother!!
Awesome video. Do you plan to do a replica of this "museum car"? Seems like the best way to use this documentation. For the Moroso valve covers, check the early 90's AMT GM stock cars. They are 1/25 and have some extra ribbing but the logos could be foil cast.
Thank you brother!! I'll check for the valve covers for sure! Big thanks for the tip!
🤯🤯🤯🤯
Thank you buddy!!
The triangle area of the dash. If its like my car was....the screws holding it on are actually camlocks. Turn them 90° and the pop out, allowing the entire panel to come off and that gives access to all the wiring behind the guages. It comes off (at least on our race car) in about 5-10 seconds.❤ 18:18
Great!! Many thanks Nick!! Great to know! I also wondered if the master cylinder was back there as you can’t find one on the firewall outside. ???
Appreciate the info buddy! Have an awesome week!!
Alabama . . they even rewrote one of their songs for Richard
Yes sir, that's right!! Thanks for watching!!
Yes master cylinder cars are under triangle dash piece
Markle had my congrats on this video too what a great video of your gas and go car and all the details to us fantastic I had one question though where the headers on that car did they wrap underneath the oil pan two or are they straight back I know Salvino‘s GM on the Oldsmomobile had the straight headers on down and I was wondering if Pettys was like that too
Many thanks brother!! This car did not have the headers under the oil pan. Jim with Salvinos JR Models has a great set of 3D printed replacements (straight). You can contact him at: jim@salvino.us.
@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 thanks I’ll Check into that
Awesome video… love the cars from the 80’s… how much more polished are museum cars than the cars on race day? Noticed the car had chrome wheels versus the white wheels from the Daytona 500. Cant wait for the next cars. Keep up the great videos!
Thank you my friend!! I asked about the "white wheels". Shop guy said, "Museum car" LOL!
More to come!
I remember reading in Scale Auto years ago about not clear coating over decals, because race cars are smooth but numbers and letters are vinyl and are not shiny. Do you clear coat over your decals? I am trying to build as many cars between 1981 and 2003 as I can, before the night races started…is that when the super shiny cars started? I miss the Daytona 500 starting at 11am and running in the sunshine….thanks again for the info you pass along!
I agree! I remember running my fingers over the vinyl “stickers” on many cars. (No clear) I cut the decals as close as I can including the numbers. (remove as much of the carrier film as possible)
I personally don’t clear cars from this era. That’s just me.
Would you have a recommendation of a paint match for the dark blue that Petty always used for suspension components and such?
Sure David! I use Testors #1211 Dark Blue. It's spot on to my eye. Thanks for watching!!
You come up with some of the best reference pics. Advantage of going out and getting yourself I imagine. You have anywhere online you store these for sharing? I would love to peruse through your photos.. thanks buddy! Keep up the good work!!
Not a bad idea brother! I'll look into that!
@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 you could do like an instagram or even google photos or imagbb.. there’s a bunch. But the “good” reference pics are hard to find. The internet is full of just pics. Not those like I’ve seen you have of detail shots of say a wiring harness or engine bay details and etc.. but I know time is precious.. so just a dump somewhere then could organize. Orrrr.. host and Patreon them.. I’d pay for it. 😊
I wanna ask you if you have any pictures of the 2+2. I’ve always wanted one, and I finally got one in 94. I actually made one of Petty’s cars by hand, cause the resin body I bought, was no where close. That was over 20 years ago. You know, as well as I do, that Salvino’s came out with it over 4 years ago. That was when I joined their club. I’ve got a few photos of some of the Petty cars of that era, but if you have any other pictures, they’d be great references. Whadda you think?
Thank you for watching Steven!! I will be doing the same type video on several Petty cars coming up. And yes the 2+2 is among them! (One of my favorite too)
Are the master cylinders under it to get to the cap of the brake and clutch cylinders
AAAhhhhh!!! Didn't think about that! BIG thanks Charles!!!
Any luck finding decals for thee oil filter?
Yes sir! A friend made them and they are great! Now I just have to remember where I put them!. LOL!
Hey Mark! Great video and awesome shots! You didn’t happen to get any of the interior looking in the passenger side window looking in the back towards the rear end cooler and seat did you? I’m curious to see how it was set up.
Yes sir!! I’ll dig them up for you buddy!
Any work done on this lately? Thx for the pics.
Thanks Brian!! Nothing new right now. Hope to get back to it down the road.
Have a great and blessed week my friend!!
I use scribing chisels.
Awesome.
Thank you my friend!!
Are you going to make a video showing how you make door hinges ( I'm having problems with those and see how you go about it)
Hadn’t thought about that one yet but it’s on the how-to list now! Thanks!
Super Video 👍👍👏👏🤤🤤❤️❤️
Alabama played
Yes indeed!!
Hello sir i just watched one of your videos where you had said you needed two sets of kyle pettys peak antifreez decals i have five mint condition sets of those decals,and if uour still interested i would gladly trade you them if you would build me 4 jacks stands and two floor jacks to be used with 1:24-1:25 scale model cars
Thank you Chris!! I don't build my jacks or jack stands. I get them from Shapeways 3D printing. You can also find some great jacks on ebay.
As to the decals, I am more than happy to buy a few sets if that's ok?
Thanks my friend!!
I have the Darrel Waltrip mountain dew car
Awesome!! The layout on these cars were pretty much the same. I think Jr’s cars were Banjo-Matthew’s but stuff was in the same areas.
Have fun!!
If you like opening doors etc… check out A 4 garage! This builder does some crazy details!
This guy should be promoted - shared with all in the community! You him and others are right up there with the best! Don’t hear anyone mention his videos! Lot to learn from him and the others! Right up there with Gerald Wingrove and the late Bill Geary!🫡🇺🇸🤔🇺🇸
Oh forgot to thank you for the great video 🤔🫡🇺🇸
@@kevinsmith7697 No problem! Thanks again!!
Thanks Kevin!! I'm a subscriber and follow A4 as well! Awesome stuff indeed! I have studied Windgrove's articles and how to's for years.
