Tuckerb Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I used the Bobby Allison Coca Cola liveries from his charger. Around the same era and he drove a Torino too. I like the white coke and the gold numbers. Let me know if I should raise the Gold 12 up a little.(this is my 4th build so any tips are welcome) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sflam123 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 If I were building it, yes, I would have put the "12" on the doors up slightly higher. It looks fine the way you built, but I like the decals for the cars from that era up a little closer to the window opening. MOST of the time the drivers name went on the roof edge just above the drivers seat. For your fourth build, you did a nice job! Keep at it!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers are at that angle so you can see them better when looking from the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, for a typical NASCAR build the roof numbers should be such that the bottom of the number is read from drivers side of the car. In very early NASCAR, there were variations, but once the sport evolved in the latter 50's the numbering became more standardized.

But are the roof numbers upside down ? Yes, he put them upside down. Bottom of the number faces the driver's door and some are set at angles. But it's made so the score keeper can read the roof numbers from the pit road side of the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowlife ! ! Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Apologies for the question I asked Lee, I didn`t mean to pick flaws with your build I was just curious... Ive just started my first nascar build , and Im still unfamiliar with a lot of things Nascar related.. It really is a nice build, and I hope I didn`t offend you ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Looks pretty good for a 4th build. I have to agree with others, the door numbers are to low. Still looks good though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
