I do want to do a superbird http://carstoysblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/43petty.jpg and will get to that, been watching old race footage to get some inspiration. I want to do Bobby Issacs Daytona http://www.timothydike.com/Cadman/Fastcars/stockcar/69dayt~1.jpgfor the Roadrunner model too. Pretty simple really. But the 72 Roadrunner looks really cool on the pike skin, at least from the prelim layout. Apparently, you can even make skins for a particular setup for a chassis, so I want 10 or so 1972 roadrunners and chargers for the pike, made up as Wildhunters.

I just think it will look cool on the pike.

Speaking of which, Can-Am Watch both of these, listen to that sound man.  :cyclops:

A lap of Laguna in a McLaren 6A

Where McLaren Made its name. On ya Bruce.

This is an awesome race if you have the chance to watch it all. McLaren had been dominating Can-Am since its inception. Jacky Stewart driving an underpowered Lola (7L to the McLaren fuel injected all alloy 8.4L) that he complained had terrible understeer, manages to ring its neck and stay infront of the McLarens till failure.

Theres a wealth of old race footage here on you tube, .... awesome!

Great cars, great drivers, a great race period.

Convincingly done. Have you tried the red and blue two tone?

That was the original plan, but then i just went with blue. Might still do that at some point.

You don't know what that pattern is on the hood of the Red and Blue Livery 72? It looks like a black or maybe real dark blue strip in the centre of the hood with some white lines. I can't seem to find any good shots of it.

I think so too, don't know If I like the others yet, only very quick so far. The Necrophobe one has grown on me a little since I turned it off last night, still like the Petty ones better though. Just wanted something more.... nasty.

Colours don't mark up here too well. I don't really get it, the side colour is the same as the roof, its the same piece of skin basically, yet they look so different, so I shot the camera man.

What did you do with it! It went in Blue, it came out brown!! Did you cover it in Poo!?!  :mad:

Musta been the DRM boys! Those Bastards! They saw I crossed out the sponsors and stuck a big red star on it.  Somerset Treatments Petroleum must have em on the payroll. Musta made em mad so they gave me a brown one instead. Musta been!

[ooc]The file I ended up with I didn't have yet, and its most useful :)

Some good-lookin' race skins there! I'm pretty impressed with how well you recreated "Petty Blue" btw.

Cheers!
