Another oddball one-off. Perry Cottingham raced out west and drove Buicks. He had a Buick Skylark for a couple of years and raced this Buick for a short time. Tim Stevens found one picture of the car ...

Finally got this one done. I had a lot of issues (paint, chassis, overall fitment) so not my best work in my opinion. But it was a pretty car in real life.

Thanks, George. Already got those as well as some from Baker racing Photos. Looking for maybe some west coast sources. Thanks!

There is a page from the NASCAR Handbook circa 1973 on Cotton Owens' web site on chassis construction.[/img]

I am looking for photos of #51 Jim Thirkettle Buick Century (1977 car). My understanding was he was primarily a West Coast road racer but he raced in several NASCAR events in 1978. Any help would be g ...

How did you do the decal art? Looks great!

I had the decals done for me by Speedway decals. He does foil printing. Some people use an ALPS (I think that is correct) printer to do foil graphics. His work was impressive. Someone on the Model Car ...

Firefly: Is it free? If not how much and where do you sign up?

Is there another way to post pictures directly from my drive or do I have to use a file hosting service?

What did you use to create the decal sheets, if I might ask?
