Jim, great looking model. How did you find out the color ? Karl

I was checking out another modeler and seen his Al Dikes ford and asked him about it. He used a more oval drab color but told me that Fonty wanted to race a green car to prove that green wasn't an unlucky color. He also threw peanut shells in the car and didn't win a race for 6 months. This one is a ertl diecast that was already green, I just applied the decals and clear-coted it, it's not a REAL model. Your work looks great though.
