So a week ago I got into a conversation with James Davison now I'm in the process of making three cars for the newest Indycar Driver! I couldn't be happier to do this for him. Once you've read up on his background and his perseverance you'll understand! So far just a lot of cutting sizing and dismantling going on... As you can probably read these pieces were meant for other cars but those are on the back burner for now.   Cars will eventually look like this. With Crown7 as well which was added as a sponsor on race day.  |

I've done as many as 10 cars of the same livery. I did 8 Rahal Ecig cars 6 weeks ago. It will make you insane. 3 is bad enough. This first one is very nice. He will be very satisfied.

I can't imagine doing six or even ten!!! My nerves are shot doing these three. Then I got to do a quick turnaround and start on Conor Daly's cars! |

Thank you for the good pictures of the front wings. I will attempt these in the near future in 1/64th scale.

Have you ever thought of screwing your cars to the tray they came in? I do this to every one since they made the new cheap (expletive deleted) trays. It's really simple. No way I would wrap those wires around my paint work & ship them to say...France. BTW the cars are great looking. Nice work.

I will definitely try it with his next batch because I will have to ship em to Indy. |

Lay the underwing in the tray & on the back side mark the holes with a black marker then drill new holes.The holes in the undertray are too small. Drill them out with a 7/64 bit (don't deviate)then chuck a 6/32 tap in your drill & thread the holes. I use 6/32 X 1/2" Phillips screws. I ship like this to Europe & never have any problems.
Note: don't thread the holes too fast or the tap may drill out the holes & push slightly with the tap. Put in reverse & back out....done

So Bummed...James called me this morning to tell me these along with other items were stolen from his car last night. Not cool! If anyone sees them online or in a pawn shop out in Indy let me know so I can tell James to contact the PD down there. Crappy way to start my morning for sure...

That's awful news! I got to spend a fair amount of time with James over the Robo-Pong weekend and he's a great representative for the sport. From the high of getting the TRG Aston Martin gig to this low...

Really stinks! I did a quick search on eBay and Craigslist Indy after you posted this but didn't find anything like it when searching for "Davison" or "James Davison".
