Pierre Rivard Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 What would we do without our friend Evergreen ? That body is coming along nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 Thanks, Pierre and Gerald. I guess we could cut up some sprue, but that would be painstaking. And you couldn't really do sheets. We really do need evergreen. Unless you just want to do oob all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 I have all the contingency decals figured out except for one. Does anyone know what the decal right behind the Holman and Moody image is and the one right below and to the right of the grey rock decal on the gold car. It looks like a brown jar with a white label and a white lid. I can't find a clearer picture. It shows up on late 1966 cars and 1967 cars.

Pierre Rivard Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 That one's a challenge. I have both P\S Loennzen and P\S 65-70 contingencies sheets and it is not on them. Taking a guess here. Brown or amber jar with white label and white cap. Pream or Coffee-Mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Well Mark some how I haven't looked at your build here. As usual, you jump right into doing mods to replicate race cars and do a great job. I'll be watching now.😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afx Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) M&P? Edited March 16, 2022 by afx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Thanks J.C. It's definitely M-P or M&P. But what the heck is that. I think with your image I can make a decal, because even if I knew what it was the decal I make will be so small, the writing on the bottle would be illegible.

Pierre, have you any idea what M&P is? Maybe it is some kind of coffee creamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the advantage of making your own decals so just copy what's on the great pic provided by JC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will, but I want to do a little research and see what the heck it is, just for curiosity sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokar124 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) I know this decal has already been identified for you on the Randy Ayers Nascar board, so I will post this slightly different version of the product here from a posting on ebay: Edited March 17, 2022 by jokar124 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Thanks Jo. I reached out to that forum knowing there was a lot of old guys like me that might know what it was. I don't know if he is an old guy, but Spooker posted a version of it and your version will also help me come up with some kind of decal. Thanks again.

iamsuperdan Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Very interesting. Will be watching with great interest. I know first hand how hard it is to find one of the actual AMT kits of the 66 Comet. Thanks to someone on this board, I was finally able to get my hands on one of the promo kits. Was looking for literally years, as I wanted to build a replica of the car we had when I was a kid. Pics for reference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for sharing this! Pierre, my way is not better. The cars are a lot different. Your way works for a 71 GTO, my way works for a 66 Comet. I don't think my rear flares are pushed out enough. but I'm not going to change them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkJ Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 This picture shows the car before the front end damage occurred. You can see the center bar between the two grilles was red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkJ Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 (edited) Also red in this picture but headlights are silver. This might have been at Firecracker 400 Edited March 19, 2022 by MarkJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
