Dale Earnhardt's 1976 Hy-Gain Chevy Laguna

Comment from Jeff:
"The model kit itself is obviously the Model King 1975 Chevy Laguna S-3. The decals are by Yesterday's and they were awesome to use. This was my 1st time using them and they are top notch. Grill, tire, hood pin, dash gauges and headlight decals are off of the kit issued sheet.

I painted it with Krylon Fusion Gloss White with Krylon Fusion Satin Black for the chassis. Bumper was stripped and I added Bare Metal Foil, which to me, didn't turn out very good...oh well. I tried to lower the stance of the car a bit by bending the rear end upwards and it sort of worked. I still don't like how the back of the car is jacked up a tad. Again, oh well lol.

I followed Dave Van's tutorial on the chassis modifications which helped. The plastic exhaust dumps that came with the kit were replaced with actual metal tubing painted flat white. I replaced the kit issued seat with a Mustang style seat from an old Monogram kit and I added seat belts using medical tape and Detail Master hardware. I also added my own window net using medical tape and drywall mesh tape. Roof antenna was made using Styrene rod drilled out and a guitar string. Car was clear coated with 2 coats of Future Floor Wax"
