Was the red on the sides of the body a decal you used or painted?

Red and blue are both paint.

Very interesting, Malcolm. Do you have a link to these charts? I'd be interested in other years and classes as well. Thanks!

Best to go to my web site - Top Stock and SS results, factoring and Meet information from 1961-1969.

Thanks, Malcolm. Sent you a pm as well.

I just got my Round2 1:64 diecast Landy 68 Coronet in the mail.

Round2 obviously has and license and the artwork.

I am cautiously optimistic about a Landy version of the new 68 Coronet kit.

For what its worth, Landy took 3 cars to the Winter Nats - Dick drove the 440 Dart, Mike Landy drive the 67 Hemi Coronet (This was NOT a WO23 SuperStock car) and the driver of the 68 Coronet R/T was the hotshoe Butch Leal (Previously raced the California Flash).

Butch ran the 440 car in SS/FA beating the 68 Firebird of Tony Knieper. 

The ‘T’ decal represents a Class winner so the top pic is an Elimination run.

I'm sure they will announce the kit. As soon as I finish mine

 

I just found an old Slixx sheet to get the upper stripes from

So I should back on mine here soon

  What color is the lighter shade of blue that is on the body pictured above the decal sheet?

Its a light dust coat of TS44 light blue met. Sprayed over the darker blue which I think is Mica Blue 

 

The Mica blue was far too dark, But TS44 was too light. The 1 sprayed over top of the other came out darn close to what I wanted  , Which is the Dart kits blue stripe, That one is all kit decals

Is TS44 a Tamiya color?
