Title: #6 Valvoline.

Hi all.

Here is my 1992 Mark Martin ride.

New Powerslide's over auto rattlecans with a great looking Porsche Oxford Blue shade. A slight purple tint to pair with the red decal.

And a red interior, just for a different look.

Laying the decals was a challenge too. Some rips on the B pillar and I still failed to fully cover it. Ah well, next time, if I ever do the '95 car.

And here with my Folgers car from last year.

Great pair of T-Birds. Really nice, clean builds. Mark Martin was my late wife's favorite driver; I sort of liked him too. He came so close but never got the championship.

Thanks all. Martin did drive some of the best looking cars.

Both look great!  If I may ask, what brand and color of white did you use?  It really pops.

Hi, thanks.

The paint is plain auto rattlecan.
But it's been heavily wet sanded and compounded,no orange peel.
So probably just how the light is being reflected.

Another beautiful build. Also, very clean and crisp with excellent stance.
