Hay Guys any suggestion on a paint job, I can't think of anything...
...?
Updates in last page and thank you for all your help guys I hope you guys like it, I am very happy with the way it came out I could not find decals with the right number 1 for Sammy Swindell Sprint Car but this will have to do.. I changed the wheels on it also, I like the BBS style more on the sprint car then the directional 8 spoke ....

Could you show us how the Tecnacraft wheels cleaned up. I'm assuming those were the first set that sold on eBay a couple of weeks ago.

They look exactly like the set that just went of a couple of weels ago but they look like a set of Tecnacraft wheels should look like (little jewels). Sorry I haven't seen many of that thick rear wheel variety and I just thought it might be. They are great looking.

WIth those gold wheels, I'd do a Sammy Swindell black and gold TMC replica. That was the best looking sprint car ever imho.

Haha, that would be the trick. You'd have to come up with something yourself I think, I've never seen TMC decals.

An old school sprint car deserves an old school paint job. Kenny rodgers has a nice one for the time. Looks better up close than in person.
You run me in the grass imma run you in the wall, drive like a racer not a flippin idiot THIS PLACE ROCKS!!!!
