Bill Elliott 1988 Coors Thunderbird

I am starting to build this car.  Would appreciate any images of this build.  Thanks!

Here is his car when it was at the Henry Ford Museum.

Umm... those are his 1987 paint scheme. 1988 has blue stripes. This photo I've had since I've had a computer, I have know idea who took it, but it's from Michigan.

My Action Diecast I've had since it was released in the early 2000's

The diecast has no markings on the rear so I found this photo of what I believe is a restored car.

There are a bunch of pics from a museum that has a restored 1988 Bill Elliott Tbird (that is where the above pic is from).  Here is the link to that site:https://simeonemuseum.org/photos/bill-elliotts-1987-88-ford-thunderbird/.

With it being a restoration there are a few items that I noticed were incorrect (wheels and tires come to mind).  I built my model based on a victory lane picture from the Firecracker 400 win (below) except I went with gold wheels.  I couldn't figure out the deal with the wheels shown in the victory lane photo.

Here is one of my completed car... I'm working on all of Bill's cars from 1983 to 2003.  This one has been my favorite one so far, Powerslide's decals are excellent.
