Been through your album a few times Michael - these are all great! Would you by chance have a picture of Wheldon's right side? I'm working on something ;D

I LOVE those pictures of Sebastian Wheldon with the Borg Warner. Anyone who is a parent will understand why. Those are memories that you don't need pictures as reminders. They will always be in your memory.

Awesome pictures Michael. The more I look at them the more I want to build them.
Interesting thing I noticed was on the 1991 winner, the decal number was lighter in shade than the painted part of the same color.
Also, have you given any thought at all to doing this; The Miller American 1985 winner, was one of the nicest looking cars in my opinion. In 1986 and 1987, Penske used the same paint scheme (with the numbers 1 and 3 respectively) but the chassis was a 1986 March. So have you thought about doing those sheets for those years? In the same vein, how about a sheet for the 1984 winner. Fred Cady did that sheet and its fine, but it lacks the detail that your sheets have. Of course that will be predicated on someone producing a 1984 March.
OK, enough suggestions.

I asked Chuck Sprague about that and he basically said it was a restoration error. It should be match the number. In the same vein, how about a sheet for the 1984 winner. Fred Cady did that sheet and its fine, but it lacks the detail that your sheets have. Of course that will be predicated on someone producing a 1984 March. As soon as someone produces one...

Michael, It was great to see you and visit at the Speedway Memorabilia Show. Your eye for photography is second only to your skill at providing the members & non-members of this board & industry with an imense catalog of excellent decals. The photo of Mario in the Boyle Maserati is priceless. You can see it on his face; he looks as if he just won the poweball lottery! The other photo that strikes me is Emo...is that Emo or Dario Resta? -Rick Faeth

Fabi was always old looking (I think he's 55). Joe Leonard looks pretty good for 78. There are a lot of drivers I wanted to meet that I missed, but Joe was at the top of the list - I'm really glad I got to finally meet him.
