MFP, from Mad Max? You gotta do it! I was going to paint my AMX like Max's car for the next race but I ran out of time.

with that in mind i painted this up with minimal cutting involved. just rough cut some flames on vinyl with my #11 knife and just stuck em in there. not my best work but it will look alot worse once i drive it.

Gosh i hope the door handles are on right <grin>

hint on my next one. MFP

Yeah! The paint is beautiful. When decals are small like that they usually are not difficult to remove and reapply correctly. So I say that it is an easy fix.

Makes a great product, make sure you are very specific in your description of what you want. Don't be afraid to email several times before you get exactly what you want.

He has the sheet of vintage sponsor decals, good value. i bought one sheet and have done 4 cars with it.

Here's my most recent 'cuda body. Turned out okay for being a 2 minute mask job with a few pieces of electrical tape.

Our VTA rules here are a little different than USVTA, but the bodies and tires are the same.

Let me see if I can do this...

As requested.

I call it the Goony Camaro/ Stringfield Racing as a tribute to Johnnie Stringfield owner of Sir Goony's mini golf and the track we race on. We would have no place to race if it were not for his generosity.
