Just a few more of the cars that I painted over the last few years...

The STP car was for my son's TT-01. The Rustler body was for a friend of mine who liked the Corvette that I painted for my TL-01. The Tony Stewart shell was my first attempt ever; it's the only one that was painted using rattle-cans (you can also see a little 'rubbin' and racin' over the Goodyear sticker) I always liked the Cobra...neat to have a driver's figure.

Now, if I could remember to photograph them before I drive 'em, I'd have a few more recent pics!

They were the old Autographics ones from when they still made them. I wish that I would have stocked up on them before they went out of business! McAllister racing has some pretty nice numbers, and I know that Parma makes some decent contingency decals.

Before i forget - another excellent source for logos and images is from the ho slot car site at the following link:

http://www.hoslotcarracing.com/

Scroll down to "Landscaping" and click on "Billboads," and there's a link at the bottom of that page for the free logos at the LogoType website. These are great if you are printing decals on photo paper to attach to the inside of the body using Parma's Fastkoat; or, if you are printing them on an inkjet or laserjet onto decal paper for exterior water-slide decals.

What are the nascar bodies mounted to? Is it a 1/4 scale oval car?:confused:
