Looks pretty period authentic, of course all of the side window stuff should be gone but other than that I'd say you stayed pretty true to things. One never knows though, back in those days drivers wore T-shirts and wingtip shoes to drive in so maybe the wing window helped to get the cigarette smoke out at Daytona... lol.

Very, very good. Just one thing : too many shadows (4 or 5 ) for a daylight.

Thanks for the comment. Actually, back then, car were mostly stock and had the side windows. Here is a link to a pic of the rear car... http://images112.fotki.com/v584/photos/4/465162/5550393/2840360090054819077ocIpTv_fsvi-vi.jpg

I used to love the days of Stock Car Racing when you could go down to the Local Dodge Dealer and buy the very same car that was out there racing on the track. I lost interest when they started to make the cars 'custom' for racing. The Charger was one of the Great cars (Richard Petty also drove a Charger) in that day and age of Stock Car Racing. I must have built 3 or 4 dozen models of the Dodge Charger. (My favorite kit came with an outlandish spoiler that I never included.) Thank you for the trip back, and the tribute to one of the GREAT cars from the U.S. Auto Industry. Well Done. PS Darken the sky and it will look like it's on display with multiple pole lights on it.

And not to confuse with Cale Yarbrough(no relation).. Lee Roy was one of the best super speedway drivers in NASCAR history. You've done an awesomely Impressive job on recreating his Charger!...

At Grandnational level, NASCAR ran side windows up to the late 60's; At Late Model Sportsman (now Nationwide Series), they were optional. Back then, there were only three "official" NASCAR classes, GN, LMS and Spectator. Now there are a dozen or more. I ran Spectator in 71 and LMS from 72-73 (that's where the 33 comes in from my userid, it was my car number at our track). Lexan became standard for GN when it became Winston Cup GN, and LMS was moved down to make room for Busch GN. OH The memories... sliding upside down watching the grass go by the roof.. sorry distracted.. GREAT render and model (we'll just call the shadows reflected light off the haulers, lol). Did you make the model or got it from different site? (hint! I'd like it). I have a 1/43 scale diecast model of this car. Too small for good display, too large for HO. :o

OK, I've updated the image and corrected the multiple shadows. Thanks everyone for the great comments. Maybe if there is enough of us around here, we could form a Rosity NASCAR Club......just a thought. Or maybe we could find a modeler that could make some cars we need.
