This one was racing almost 20 years ago. It is based on a Revell sprint car for the frame and suspensions. Rear tires are resin that I made. The engine is a Ford from an 80's Mustang kit. the carbs are the sprint injector that I modified. The body, bumpers and nerf bars are scratchbuilt from styrene rods. Decal are produced with Corel Draw and printed on my printer. I use the roof from a Charger kit ( dodge Omni Charger)![]() ![]() ![]()

Yes I could do some although I don't think I would start a business, but for fellow modeler, if you are not in a hurry I would. I'm using the Testors decals sheets which are a little fragile so you have to be experienced with decal application. Just contact me by email, I'll see what I can do... My business is signmaking and truck lettering so, yes I make signs and decals for all type of signage, that has been my job for the past 27 years ;a;
