Title: Bobby Hillin Snickers work in progress

I reshaped the nose a little, filled in the front of the front wheel openings. JNJ decal. The decal fit isn't perfect, but I'm liking the look of it anyway. It'll have a gray chassis, borrowed this one to mock it up.

Tom, Is this what it will look like. I was at the 1990 Firecracker 400 and saw this car battle Dale Earnhardt close to the end of the race. He put on a pretty good fight for a couple of laps, but Earnhardt ended up winning.

Nearly every day John! I've been distracted with some non racing subjects, but I have my bench full of "in progress" stuff right now. I'll try and post a few more pics later.

I see that #95 Monza in the background. Can't wait for an update on it.
