Mmmm I start to be envious of your nickname! I also want one so evocative!

The Gunnar Racing car was black with flames at the Homestead,Florida race. Because it was Easter weekend, the car was re-painted pink. There were raised eyebrows as the car was being decaled in the shop. The flames were true metal-flake like a bass boat and just exploded with sparkles as it was pushed outside for the first time in the sun. It really was cool. The wheels were metallic and your color shot looks very accurate. Kyle Petty and Gunnar Jeanette were the drivers and we split the BMW's in qualifying and took 2nd in the race. Everyone wore "Petty in Pink" t-shirts for the weekend. For the race, I wrapped the headlight covers with a dark pink (magenta) cellophane. Remember it was easter and all the stores had easter supplies for making baskets. You could spot the car anywhere on the track due to the pink headlights. The Tech officials let us get away with it for this one race. The rules were "clarified" by the next race. I hope this little insight will help you enjoy the build.

Sally is back ..

@ jmpsebring
Thanks for the very interesting view behind the scene from the “real sally”.

After a few months break, Sally is ready, I will show you some picture from the progress.

So, after priming I have brushed with Tamiya TS25 and bring the decals to the bodywork




After I`ve finished the decals I built the cockpit





And Sally is ready for race…
The colour of the rims ist a mix of clear red and clear blue over a coat alclad chrom.





Greetings Peebo
