Thoughts and Prayers go out to his family. Ervin raced everything on wheels and drove the snot out of all of them. R.I.P. Mr. Carpenter, you were a wheel man for sure.

Thoughts and Prayers for Ervin. I watched him drive many a mile in race cars over the years.

Looking through the pictures from the event, there is a shot of Harold Dunaway behind the wheel of the car without a helment on. That is the same Harold Dunaway. Saw him win a BUNCH of races back in the day!
Hand Painting vs. Decals
General
Back when I was in high school I started lettering a few cars at the local track. I also built models of the local cars and hand lettered those as well. Almost forty years have passed since then but I'm still building the models and hand lettering them. I used to say that whatever the sign guys put on the real cars with a brush, I could do the same with the models. Today we have one guy still using a brush and a BUNCH using computers. It's hard to duplicate the computer graphics on a model using a brush and a bottle of paint but as the picture shows, I'm hanging in there. Personally, I love the old way, it's a dying art in today's modern world though.
