Nice new powerslide decal sheet out so I put the Elder late 1970's charger together with Salvinos kit. Made some ride height adjustments to get a lower stance. Thanks for looking!

I have always thought that Olympia Beer car was gorgeous. You captured it well. _________________ Dennis

Nice Build !!! Not many Grand National West decals out there; I'll have to buy a set or two.
Question : Did the Powerslide sheet include " Racing Farmers " decals for the sail panels ??? This lettering was on most, if not all, of Ray Elder's cars. |

George, It's a ACE sheet and Mikes has them under the ACE decal section, take a look at them I'm sure you will find it covers every possibility for the Chargers and the Daytona as well. John. |

What blue did you use? I am planning the same build and was planning on using Tamiya Brilliant Blue. _________________ ON DECK/IN THE WORKS: too many started to list...

Thanks for the heads up on the decal sheet; it looks to be very thorough. They have RACING FARMERS in both red and BLUE, which I've never seen on a #96 car before. But I'm not going to say it never happened!!! I'm still researching if Ray's win at Riverside in Jan. 1971 was the last Grand National win on Firestone tires. |

Excellent super clean build. Perfect paint separation line for the two tone paint. |
