1/24 1986 Dale Earnhardt #3 Wrangler Monte Carlo Semi-custom
1986 Dale Earnhardt Wrangler Monte Carlo. This is a 1/24 semi-custom Dale Earnhardt 1986 #3 Wrangler Monte Carlo. What I did is take the year 2000 Action Performance clear window bank of Dale Earnhardts 1987 #3 Wrangler and modified it into the 1986 car. I did not want it to be a clear window bank. So I acquired an Ernie Irvan 1987 Monte Carol.
I took the windows and rear deck out of it and put them into the Wrangler car. I painted the chassis and roll cage the correct blue color. Painted the black padding on the roll cage and detailed the seat, fire extinguisher, shifter & dash. I lightly sanded off the 1987 specific sponsors and Chevy symbol. Then painted back the yellow and dark blue in those areas.
There not factory smooth and the colors where hard to match. Under bright light and looking close you can see the paint is not exact match. Good representation of Dales 2. I also sanded & painted the exhaust pipe ends and cut the front springs to lower the front end a bit. Because the body was originally a clear window bank car, the trunk does not open. This car does not have a box but will come in two styrofoam halves that Action diecast come with.
