Here's the 1984 winner and again the body from Gary and the decals from  Michael.

This car was a PAIN IN THE (expletive deleted) from beginning to the end. I went ahead and finished it but I am not happy with it. I'm sure at some point in the future this car will be redone.

It can't be an easy scale to work in so give yourself a break. Always nice to see a Mears car built With this and the '83 winner, you are getting a nice small scale 500 winner collection!

I actually have everything done from 1960 to the present except 1980, 1981 & 1982.
I have the car for 1959 but just waiting for someone  (Michael) to  do  the decals.
Thanks,

I didn't even know 1/87 scale was even a scale

Nice job.

I believe it is HO Scale  but remember I'm old and senile. My grandkids say I have a leakey brain after I  had my small strokes 8 years ago.

Terry, looking good!!!!!

I usually brush paint, so my recommendations prolly are the best way to go. These are the best guys to give spraying advice.

Also, to answer any questions.
- I don't use release agents for making my resins. That's not to say there aren't the normal resin oils, etc. from the body.
- I use 1:1 RTV for mold making, supplies from MicroMark
- the resin I use is from a local chem supplier in Chicago, named Eager Plastics. Very similar to Smooth-on but not Smooth-on.
- I don't use primer, and brush paint the color directly to the resin surface.
- I use Testors enamel paint found in the tiny bottles.
- my bodies are made for slot car chassis
- most of my stuff is 1/64th scale.

Hope all this helps. Here is the '84 I did awhile back;
