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 was wondering do you guys think I should put more aftermarket parts decals on it? Please let me know as I am looking on ebay for the right ones..

I changed the wheels on it also, I like the BBS style more on the sprint car then the directional 8 spoke....

blue and white with valvoline decals as in the original RCCA sprint car shootout. The car is already dyed blue just like in the mag. Pic below shamelessly re-linked from: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=5129

Good idea, time to hunt for the decals.... Thank you...

Any more suggestions any one?

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.

No these Tecnacraft BB's I got at fish kin hobbies in New Jersey a long time 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.

No problem... I have 3 set like this except the fronts are different size....

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

Wow thats nice, where can I get those decals???

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

i always liked sammy's channellock car.
and channellock decals are out there. i have them on my modified. i think they were autographics. now, whether they would fit on a sprint car body and wing....... i don't know.

i also liked billy pauch's zemco car............

Thanks guys now I got a vision....

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.
