DrKerry Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ok as you look at these first two photos you may think....Yup it's Gordon or.... Yup it's Earnhardt....... Now the story, When my son was ten (now he's 26) he was an avid Gordon fan and of course, I was Earnhardt. He asked me one day during a race that if Gordon and Earnhardt crossed the line at an exact tie who would win? I told him both that it would be a tie. That got my wheels turning and I thought of "Split Decisions". That way both his driver and mine could win on any given Sunday...... Now to show you what the entire car looks like..... Right down to the chassis... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 I always wanted to do the mirror image of this car but never did. Now I don't know what I ever did with the other half of the decals.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacho Z Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Very cool idea and you pulled it off to a "T". It could not have been easy to cut all of those decals and get them to match up so perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Wasn't to easy but it wasn't to bad either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Demon Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I did the same thing many years ago, but I did it using a $70.00 diecast..... of course it was Dale Sr. and Jr. though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lillakev Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 We used to see a street Thunderbird at Atlanta every year painted similar, it had Davey Allison's scheme on the driver side and Alan Kulwicki's on the passenger side. Seems like we always saw it somewhere on the way to the track or leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
