Thanks, Donato. It was a while back as you can see from the dates on some of the posts. I really worked hard trying to get the color right and add enough detail to make it more interesting. Luckily the you tube video was very helpful in realizing the roof number was very small and other things the other ref pictures did not reveal. I always wanted to do this car because it was Fireball's last big win and I remember as a 13-year-old being very upset about the news of the horrible World 600 accident and his finally succumbing to the burns later on that year. I think pneumonia was the actual cause of his death. He was the Earnhardt senior of his time.
