Bubba Zanetti has it on good authority that Smith was sent here by the Bronze...

The original car was the Australian equivalent of a Ford Falcon. Not sure if the Falcon ever competed in Trans-Am, but a great paint job. Nice one, Brian.

The Falcon did race in their version of it. Still races in the Touring car Masters series.

The Touring Car Masters has some neat paint schemes for old school race cars.

The paint scheme is movie inspired...can you guess which movie?

Here are the rattle can paints that I used.
- Pactra RC254 Racing Red (red stripes)
- Pactra RC262 Indy Silver (used as a backer for stripes)
- Pactra RC265 Metallic Blue (main blue)
- Pactra RC285 Bright Yellow (main yellow)
- Pactra RC286 Brilliant Blue (used to back/darken Metallic Blue)
- Tamiya PS-1 White (white stripes)
- Tamiya PS-5 Black (front grill applied on exterior of body)

I still need to mount and trim the body, but it will be paired with a set of yellow dyed wheels



Really like this scheme.
