just finished . Used the new Laser decal system Micro Mark is selling. You can actually print white decals with a system less then 700 bucks. Cost you more if you buy it from Micro Mark. I got the printer at office depot and saved 100 bucks off their price. The ghost white toner is 329 bucks at Micro mark but you can get it for 300 plus shipping from u.s. cutter.  Any way this is the Chevy Jim Paschal drove for 5 races in 1965 . this is the way the car looked at the Southern 500 that year. The model took 109 hours to complete. I did the decals cady style where you print he white sheet first and then you print the color sheet and you place the color decals over the white decals on the model.  You can also try printing the color sheet over the white sheet and have one sheet but nobody has solved the register problem getting the sheets to line up just right.

Man, that is outstanding, Mark.
Those decals are very well done and the details are killer !
I always liked Jim Paschal too.

Tom Friedkin was a very interesting man.
When I ordered my truck, it came from his Gulf States Toyota Distribution.

Very, very nice.  I do not remember this car, but then again I was with the USAF in remote Alaska Labor Day 1965. 

MarkJ:
Thanks Jim and John. Yes, most people don't remember the Paschal/ Bill Thomas Chevy but it was actually the most competitive of the 65 Chevy's. But it usually dropped out or crashed . It did get a 3rd at Bristol. It only competed in 5 or 6 races. Most people model the Ray Fox / Lee Roy Yarbrough  65 Chevy. I guess cause it looks like the Junior Johnson 63 Chevy livery.
