Nacho Z Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I don't recall ever seeing that car before. Looks like you are off to a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsportwagon Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Going to have to make the decals. I can't find a font that is exactly like these numbers. May have to start from scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill J Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Check with Dave Van, he makes Elmo Langley decals for an earlier Torino and I seem to recall the numbers being the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowsportwagon Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Kind of stuck on how to do the decals. I can't find a font that matches correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 That's looking really good Tim ! I really like what you're doing . I thought there was a font like that in MS Word ( I used it on my McLaren build ) but I don't recall the name . Dave Van is a member here , look him up in the members list . By the way . . . I've always felt that Elmo deserves a spot in the Hall Of Fame for all the years spent racing and driving the pace car . I talked with him a few times and he was a great guy ! Same goes for Harold Kinder . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW93 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Great subject and work. Nice to see a model built of one of the "Independents" . Not al the racers had a huge budget back then & NASCAR could never have a full field if it weren't for the litle guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowsportwagon Posted April 20, 2014 Author Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thanks for the compliments.This car is one of my favorites.Elmo raced for years as an independent,people like him were Nascar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
