Here you can get a better set than the kit decals: https://www.mikesdecals.com/coors-bill-elliott-1984-powerslide-p-3479.html It contains decals to make his 1984, 1985 or 1986 cars.

wrenchr Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Yah dig it out!! Been working on one a little this week and about to get back at it. Narrowed the fenders on mine to look more like the speedway car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THarrison351 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 That looks great so far. That wheel and tire you're using is only for mock up, right? That stencil and those style wheels are from a later time period. The best wheels are the 9-hole Bassets in the Monogram GM kits from the eighties.

Yup, the whole chassis is an old Ford buildup I now use for mockup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
