  1. I suggest going with the lightest gray you can find. I have seen a few of these cars in person, and the color is gray, but it can be mistaken for white.

    Well done! I like it.
  3. Looks really nice. The application of the decals is superb!
  4. Great job! The weathering is great and I can't get over how realistic the tools look.
  5. Great save on each. They both look real nice!
  6. Looks very nice Pat. One would never miss that car on a track.

    Looks very nice!
  8. One of my wife's uncles was informed he has a aggressive form of cancer and does not have much time left. His kids are already fighting over the inheritance, and there is a will. I should be surprised, but for some reason I am not. However, it does sadden me greatly.
  9. Race car drivers have a different mind set about them. I don't know if it an issue with their egos, or they get such a rush from racing that they cannot walk away. I remember Dale Earnhardt being quoted as saying something to the effect that if he died driving a race car that would not be a tragedy. If he died driving a passenger car, that would be a tragedy. Then there's Neil Bonnett. He had a very serious accident at Darlington and was forced to retire. He did not like retirement and badgered his doctors to release him to race. His next race was at Talledega; his car became airborne and he crashed into the catch fence. Some suggest that he suffered a concussion in that accident, but it was never really confirmed. His next race attempt was at Daytona. He died during a practice when a shock mount broke on his car and he had a head on crash into the wall.
  10. I agree with Tim, you should test it first. I do this even when the paint and the clear are from the same company. A few years ago, I painted a car using Rustoleum 2X paint and a Rustoleum 2X clear. The clear turned the paint to resemble alligator skin.
  11. Very nice! The decals look like they would have been a challenge.

    Very, very nice! If you had not pointed out the difficulties, I wouldn't have noticed.
  16. I hope everything works out for you Johnny.
  17. I missed this one the first time around, but the model is really outstanding! Great work Mark.
  18. Extremely well done! The weathering is fantastic.
