If I commission the creation of a set of custom decals, why does that set become available for the general public to buy afterwards at a far cheaper price than I paid?

I've done the research and pa ...

Yes. And No.

But Ronnie Setzer at Southern Motorsports Hobbies does.

Sweet model and back drop. At first I thought it was South Park characters in the stands. I started looking for Kenny!

Ha ha ha! This was my first thought seeing the picture. Was Kenny modeled on ...

Fantastic job. I still recall watching this race and the gripping last lap as the two cars fought to the finish line. Great tribute to a great race.

I don't know how to post pictures here, but I've got an engine bay picture of a Richard Petty car titled "the King's last Chrysler" from 1977. It has all braided hoses.

I believe these cars were given/sold to Scott by Ned Jarrett, so paint information for these cars would apply to Scott.

Here's a '62 Chev with Jarrett's Royal Beach Motel sponsorship still on the f ...

Chevrolet's Jewel Blue.

Most of that sheet is inapplicable to Jarrett's '61 car. There was an old sheet that included the correct decals for the title winner but it's very hard to find and it had the number and sponsor-owner ...

Kyle Larson has shown he can figure out most any car he races. And there's a bunch of very decent current drivers - Reddick, Bell, Briscoe, Bowman, probably Byron, too, maybe Chastain - who've shown a ...

Very nicely done.

Like this quote from your initial post: "Not sure how accurate it really is but it will pass for me." Very healthy attitude toward your hobby.

Check them out in the Decal Makers Previews forum!!

No. Laughing

PTI brand aircraft stripper. Sort of a gel. Heavy duty stuff but really works. Fast and thorough, cuts through multiple layers in one application. I buy it at an aviation material store at a small reg ...

Thanks, Tomcat. Good to know.

Will anyone be doing up a set of decals to build Ryan Blaney's title winning car from Phoenix on Sunday?

Popular champ.

the scooped hood is correct. Chassis underside was black gray inside, Roll cage was semi gloss black. Body was a bright white roof was candy apple red.

The black-and-white shots are awesome. The work of a proper pro photog with an eye for detail. After such great success with the H&M #17 team, it's sad to see Pearson finish, as the horse-racing c ...

Nice work. Would be good to see more from you (and yes, I see your Chicken Pit Special).

He's been great to deal with. Picked up extra decals, body parts and tires/wheels from him. Well packaged for shipping, too.

Well, it was called Pledge. Pretty clearly spelled out on the label. But ya can't get it now. Discontinued many months ago.

I have 2.5 bottles of it left and rationing it to important projects.

Jings. Reads like a problem for a sharp knife or judicious reading of the instruction sheet. Sounds way more challenging than it should be.

There's scads of images of this car all over the interne ...

Looks great! Love that distinctive paint scheme Rex ran.

This was always a bit of a sleeper track with Jimmy Buffett, but as years have passed, it's become one of my favorites from him. And he clearly loved it.

Isn't there a separate page for decal makers to announce their previews and promos?

Why is this maker exempt?

Louvres, old boy, louvres.

Just curious about why choosing to build the '97 Labonte car?

The almost identical '96 car won the title and carries far more significance. Resources aplenty to build it.

Pictures would be useful in helping us solve this issue. And avoiding future issues for other builders.

Always chuckled at the signature quote on his posts: "Mongo only a pawn in game of life."

Contributor Dan Belcher used TS-21 with the kit decals to build his great version of the car. Link to gallery:

That's an interesting photo you've posted of the interior of Young Russell's Pontiac. Makes it look like the grey tone of the interior paint is a touch darker than normal. Here's a shot I have showing ...

I've got two spares of the recently released Hutcherson-Ned Jarrett hybrid sheets put out by Gofer. Also let's you do the '65 Richmond Ford car Jarrett drove.

Good lookin' car. Did you paint the body and, if so, what paint did you choose?

Best I could find:

Wow. Never mind the race car.

That woody wagon is the bee's nuts.

Croikey. It'll be a dinky-dy day in Auz when this storied car gets done, mate. Good start.

Never has mauve looked so menacing. Tough looking car.

Grapple away for those kits. Just don't pull on Joey's 'hair'. Very Happy
