I built this for someone who was a team member on this car. I used my March 86C upgrade kit on this. If there is interest I can make the decals available.   |

The 86C looks really great with your upgrade kit. Glad to see one built up.

Looks good. As I always say, the more decal choices the better.

Very nice. I'll definitely take a set in 1/43rd if you decide to make it available.

That is one beautiful race car, a lovely model and the epitome of what an Indycar should look like.

Interesting how the cars had two very different CP1 logos. That was the biggest challenge doing these decals.

I kept on thinking this car was going to be green...but when you showed me this finished pic I was actually very surprised to see it blue, red and white! I guess because I thought you were doing the 1986 version....

When I was told what car I was being asked to do, I too expected it to be green.

...or maybe even maroon? In the latter part of the 1986 season the #66 car dithced the green for maroon. Anybody know why some Skoal cars were green, and some (also the 1986 Eagle) were maroon?

I'm sure you're in the same boat as me - doing these cars is a labor of love... but also educational and always fun to learn more about the cars and sponsors. Here's an ad in Popular Mechanics for CP-1. You had to mail order it, no wonder it didn't survive long. Great pic of Howard A. Smith with a Mercedes and Tom's 1987 car. CP-1 was a Curb Products brand. Looks like Mike Curb was taking a page out of Andy Granatelli's book. And you're correct, there were at least 5 diffrent versions of the CP-1 logo and none of them are as cool as STP.   |

I know in 1999 the Skoal car in NASCAR ran red, blue, green or gold schemes. I think it is to mimic their can colors which change with different flavored products. Jordan |
