Thanks JJ! I make the decals by finding a decent side view of the cars if I can (some I just draw in Photoshop) and massage them until they fit the bodies. I'm starting to figure out that Testors decal paper. When to use the white and the clear.

Here is one I needed to finish for the race season. This body is a little weird though in that it shrunk. My billy Meyers mustang is from the same donor body back in the day, but this one much shorter which made decal placement a bit tougher, as well as stance isn't slammed but it looks ok I think.

Progress! I think this baby looks better already. But I don't think I'm gonna get away with those front wheel openings, they gotta be reduced. What do you guys think?

Hey, I was messing around with the tyco 40 ford truck promod and I think something cool can be made from it. It's mounted on an afx 3gear chassis.

Last one of the night, front wheel opening re-profile started, still needs adjusting but making it fit the wheel better looks better to my eye. Cant wait to get this baby in primer.
