I finished up another wood stock car made from coffee stir sticks. It is the yellower of the two. DId the other one a year or so ago. I do have the frame made for a 3d, along with the end pieces, so may go ahead and do it soon. Wanted about 3 of them.
HOT/HUMID here, so the lens fogged up, I guess.
Roofs are balsa sheet with embossed craft metal over them. Roof walks are ripped down pine.
Slick Jerry! They really capture that well used look you always saw on stock cars. What trucks are you using on them?
At first I was not interested in clicking on the thread as my first thought was “I could not care less about NASCAR”…Then the coffee kicked in!
Those look fantastic!
May have to try that on a couple of Bachmann 1:20.3 flats (If ya don’t mind me ‘stealing’ your idea!).
If you build a stock car from coffee sticks, are the cattle transported therein calfinated or de-calfinated?

Looks good Jerry!
Thanks for the comments guys. There is an older thread in this forum, or MLS, on me making the first one, I think. Feel free to make one Mark. I can email you the plans I used, from a internet set I found of a DR&G. I altered them to 1/32, but you could blow them up some.
Richard, one truck is an old Delton, other is USA, I think. Both with Gary Raymond 1/32nd wheels. Kadee 820 couplers. I still mean to make that short coach Richard! Might do one more of these first though, while I have the parts laying here and remember how to do them. I had to look back some to recall what I did! Lettering is some vinyl my wife cut a few years back. I sanded it some and put some dull coat on.
Jerry, fantastic work… 
Very nice. I especially like the roof. Could you tell me more about craft metal? How did you do the rust?
you did your usual… excellent building.
jerry, it is 1:32, i understand. so, how long are the roofs and how long is the gap between roofs?
Looks great!
Jerry
As always your projects look Soooooo good. I love how they look like they were built by a couple of carpenters at some small shop, where they were asked to build something they had no expierience in. They just put their heads together and placed the boards where they needed to be.
thanks for the inspiration.

And here I thought you were talking about your latest NASCAR entry, 
Great models Jerry. good work indeed.
Those stock cars complement your military train well - well, all those soldiers gotta eat. lol
Thanks Guys,
Bruce-the roofs were scored from the backside with a ball point pen. Then sprayed with Krylon primer. Bragdon chalks highlight the scored lines. Metal then glued to the balsa underneath with tack and trim cement.
Sweet!
