1320wayne Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) Here is my latest in progress build. This is the 99 Bill Elliott QPC McDonald's Taurus using an old school set of Three Amigos decals that I've had in my stash for a number of years. Been wanting to knock this one out for the longest time and I finally decided to to get it done. Decals went on great. The hood decal was the hardest to play with. Also, these decals are not designed to be a complete set. You have to come up with your own contingencies (which wasn't difficult) and a few other odds and ends, like the white contingencies that appear on the lower rear body section. I found something suitable on an old Mark Martin Valvoline Slixx sheet from 96. I also found a good picture of the car as it ran at Pocono in 99 and they ran a pinkish colored tape on the grill and front valance. I was able to sacrifice an Exide decal sheet from a Revell top fuel kit that was a pretty close match in color. I was able to cut up the decal in sections for the areas needed.I also lowered the front valance with some added styrene and cut open the grills so that I could use an old Model Car Garage photo etch set that I had.

MarkJ Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Excellent job on what had to be a very challenging decal installation. I would not even try one of these. Looking forward to the final product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Clear coat is added and rubbed out to a nice shine and I got the tires and wheels completed and mounted. Still working on the exact ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320wayne Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 This one is now complete. Done as a curbside with the option to come back later and add the engine if need be. Older Three Amigos decals went on great. Also added some small Slixx detail decals for the windows and hood pins along with a newer kit window net and a couple of rooftop antennas made from photo etch and piano wire.
