Michael Waltrip's Star Trek: First Contact Thunderbird

[Merkur XR4Ti]

Just off the workbench: this is Michael Waltrip’s Star Trek First Contact T-bird driven in 1996 for the Wood Brothers. The car ran in practice like this: for the race NASCAR made them run white numbers for better visibility. I prefer this look. The decals were by an unknown maker, I got them from Mike’s Decals and they worked great. I also used a set of Slixx decals for Mike’s regular Citgo scheme for many of the secondary and contingency decals. Paint is MCW silver. I sanded off the side grilles from the kit piece for the long track look.
