The first photo is of Kevin's beautiful "pancake" racer that he ran at Wall.  I asked Kevin if he could send me some photos of his hot rods as I didn't see any posted on 3Wide.  Hopefully, he will do just that as all of his cars were sharp lookin' racers.  Anyway, I first met Kevin at Bridgeport at one of the last 5/8s races run.  Since then, I have gained a lot of respect for Kevin as he is not only an accomplished racer but a true fan of the sport.  Given all that he's done for and in the sport, not to mention his involvement in the Matheny School Christmas Party, I thought I'd build him a model of his beautiful #21 Wall racer. The rest of the photos are of the model of his #21.  The model used is available on Model Roundup.  The decals were a special order from Polecat Decals.  Building this model (its not perfect) gave me an appreciation for today's hot rods.  They're nothing like what I grew up working on and watching in the 60s and 70s, to say the least.  Scott Ely
