Fred Lorenzen 1966 Ford Galaxie 500 # 28 NASCAR Grand National Stock Car
1966 Ford Galaxie 500 7 litre 1/25th scale model kit by AMT. I have a picture of 3 of the great drivers from 1966 in the NASCAR Grand National Series showing the #28 driven by Fred Lorenzen. I made this from the black and white picture, this is the best of the three I built, the other two being #27 and the #41 all 66 Galaxies. This model got most of the detail being the last one I built, I removed the vent windows and all the outer trim. I had to custom make the exhaust to exit where I wanted it, but the kit did come with a stock car option and a dragster option so it had some of the NASCAR trim such as the headlight and taillight blanks. The hood locks i added and the roll cage was not quite the right fit, but its only plastic so it fits. This was a fun kit and I built the 3 NASCAR models and one stocker that I left the box color of red.
The back ground is an actual set up for race car models I just did some photoshop to make it larger. Looks pretty good I think. Also note the gas tank door is removed for easy filling.
