While I was never a fan of that paint job, you did a fine job recreating it!! Well done. _________________ Dennis

GREAT JOB on this build !!!!!
That had to take some time to get the wild paint scheme down..!
I liked this car, as it was such a different paint scheme for Dale to drive.
Didn't Dale "pioneer" special one-off paint schemes for the Winston Open(?) prior to the World (Coke) 600? _________________ Ed. K |

Hideous!....the 1:1, not the model, its very cool, well done.
I always thought it looked like one of those paintings that the artist stood back and threw paint at the canvas. Maybe thats what he does, I had never heard of the guy prior to that car, nor frankly, since then. |

Peter Max was a hippie artist from the sixties so i imagine he was hopped up on something to design this..
And he must have given some "stuff" to childress and the goodwrench folks to permit it.... |

Very nice. Have always thought that scheme really added to Dale Sr's mystique... the courage to say 'WTHeck'. Man was really layered with personality. |

This was the beginning of "The Color of Money' era. Dale was making money with all kinds of diecast , memorabilia etc. Nice model. I have 1/64th diecast of it. |

I probably have he 1/64th of this car as well, but 98% have not seen the light of day since 2001.... _________________ Ed. K |
