I like that Nationwide car. Nice paint scheme and graphics. Looking real good so far.

Are there prizes involved???

Jean Girard. I only know that for sure because it's on the decal sheet

That Perrier car was driven by the French F-1 driver in Talladega Nights. Ricky Bobby's nemesis but the name is escaping me. Gil Gerrard maybe?

got a little done recently... paint on both bodies and a few decals.

this is Tamiya Park Green and 3 Amigos decals... not sure if i like their decals or not.  will have to do a little more work with them to give a verdict.  not sure if i didn't line up the top decal on this or they are mis-sized from the seller. prolly me but these decals aren't very forgiving when trying to line them up.  anyone have any tips? i tend to not deal with too many multi-layer decals.



i asked y'all in the first post if you had any idea what build this is... any ideas now?

not a fan of the movie, most racing movies that i have seen (aside from "Rush") aren't very realistic.  "I'm dropping the hammer"... you wouldn't take off by downshifting on an oval at speed, Tom Cruise, you would blow the motor.  "Talladega Nights" ain't much better but at least it's severely tongue in cheek.


anyway, on to Dale Jr.  Tamiya Metallic Blue and Pure White.  i included a close up of the side to show there are 2 stripes, the top one seems to blend in when viewed at a distance.  i did manage to salvage the black on the tv panel.







this set of decals is waaaayyyy easier to deal with than the National Guard decals.

Mark,

this might interest you.

The story is about the ´68 Bobby Allison Torino, wich was actually a´67.

Thank you, Tom for the kind words. I'm glad you find my stuff helpful. I do it also for myself because I forget how to do things and looking back at old builds reminds me how to do it.

Does anyone have photos of the interior of a 1967 Holman and Moody Fairlane and under the hood shots too. Also, any chassis pictures would be very helpful as well. There used to be sticky forum entry at Randy Ayers devoted to Fairlanes. I was hoping that it got transferred here. Maybe I just can't find it.
