Bill Elliott 1987 Coors TBird

[magicmustang]

Well, here's another one that has been on my "Shelf of Doom" for many years. Had done the wheels, tires, engine, chassis and interior but never got around to masking and painting the body. Finally got it painted and started the decals.

Was concerned with them as they were probably over 40 years old. Tested the front bumper gold stripe and sure enough it shattered. So, I sprayed the rest of the sheet with clear gloss lacquer and the rest went on fine. Paint is Testors rattlecan Italian Red lacquer, decals by Ace. Glad to have it done.

Comments welcome.
