I need a set of GOOD QUALITY decals for this project that has stalled for want of decals. I won't go into why, after 2 orders from separate companies, I have nothing I can use that's worthy of the time and effort put into this build already.  Any suggestions? This build was intended to be a tribute to not only Junior, but more importantly to one of my best friends that I used to race with and  who recently passed away. I can't have this one stalled in a box on the shelf forever...Thanks for looking! Stay Healthy!

Who did you try getting decals from?  I've got a sheet picked up many years ago, not sure from where.  You're welcome to them to finish your tribute.

For mine I used Fred Cady decals purchased (I think) from Mike's.  I hope they weren't one of the companies that gave bad service.

You obviously have done some research on the detail work.  Good luck!

Looking at those instructions, I'm pretty sure they are JnJ decals.

I had to buy two different sets sold on e bay to build mine with. Both sets just did not have all the sponsor decals on them or had ones that I could not use for the build. I think these are the two sets I bought jsut by doing a quick search.

I recommend contacting Lobographix and asking them for their sheet for the Junior Johnson 63. It;s the best sheet made and presently available. This is their 03 sheet, they do make a #3 sheet but not presently listed.

What did you use for the aluminum sheet side panels in your interior??? Best representation I have seen for cars of that era. Please advise.

Dr. Jay,

 Great looking build, I especially like the textured interior panels. Can I ask how you got that look ?

 

 

Thank you,

I got my decals off of eBay I believe... I thought they were fine, but I wasn't trying to be super detailed in my model. As you can see it lacks many details, but I just wanted a pretty shelf model.
