Photographed in a different environment I'd have believed it was the real car. Beautiful!!

Thanks, I doubt you will unless Stu does one. This is the race day livery. The IMS grid photo is not correct. Arie sent me photos of the car & his suit & lid with different angles. I've wanted to make this one for a long time.

Wow, very cool. Also never seen this paint job. I watched the race, but I can't remember these details. What do I remember about that race? Something about the winner doing something unusual. What was it? Where did I leave my car keys? Not as young, (expletive deleted) getting old. What 85 March did you start with?

What was it? Where did I leave my car keys? Not as young, (expletive deleted) getting old. What 85 March did you start with? Sullivan won it with the famous spin & win. I have photos that Arie sent me of pit stops, staging & after the race along with photos of him & his beautiful wife with close ups of his suit & lid. Without these I couldn't have found all these marlings. Only 1 sponser missing on top of the sidepod air intakes was a hair solon I couldn't get printed. This is a 84 Mears C1 donor. I have another painted but not decalled. It's the 84 Unser Miller High Life. Doing another now of the 84 Gilmore/ Foyt Coyote. Both C1 donors.

I saw this car you guys from the early stages. It's not just a replica but a true work of art.
Turning an 84 March into an 85 Lola is no walk in the park. Awesome job Ralph! The car looks fantastic and Arie will be blown away when he sees it.

Not a diecast, not a conversion but a WORK OF ART.

Props much appreciated. Stu> You should know these are no strip & paint with that beautiful Mario Beatrice Lola you crafted. Lots of work but the results are gratifying. Gold stripes are supposed to border the exhaust outlets so I think I'll do them. Kinda showcases the metal removal also.
