I hate masking. Doing the Wildcat scared the crap out of me, but it came out okay. Nice job on this one, I can't wait to see it finished.

What kind of tape are you using? I see alot of places where paint can get under the tape. The edges must be burnished down or you'll get bleed under. Gonna be a nice piece when finished.

I got the Indycals on! Now I just need to make some home made odd ball decals that the Pikes Peak car had on it.   |

That looks really great. I always wondered how you did the Menards stripes.

Calvin:
The Machine may be running at "warm-up lap speed" but he is BACK! Again, another outstanding build. I really envy your ability to make it all look easy. I often think of you when I'm asked "how did you do it?" I reply "The Calvin Salee method; sand and paint, then sand and paint again; then again,etc."
It is so good to see you posting again...
Kind regards,
Tim

Nicest Dr. Jack Miller car ever! LOL
The car looks great with the proper flo colors. The Dallara>G-Force transformation was great to see, too. Nice to see your build quality is still strong.

What a nice job you did on that one. Working with fluorescent paint is never easy but you really nailed it. Always liked all of the Menards paint schemes.

Great job. Looks like you matched the colors perfectly. What's the next project on your workbench?

Beautiful! Up to your usual standards, Calvin. I loved the colors on the Menards cars.
Which brings up a question: I'm planning a project and want to use these colors. Do you clear before you apply the decals or after? I was thinking there might be a problem with silvering (or whatever it's called) when the decals are applied to a matt surface.
Thanks Calvin for sharing your great cars with us!
