Danny Sullivan's Molson 1993 Indy 500

[shunter]

So while working on the Mansell build Michael from Indycals comes up with this new sheet, i look at it and think YES...




Then i think hey one Lola two Lola's cannot be too hard and at the speed i build hey two models done....Nice. I look around and dig out another Duracell Lola and get to work on it.



Then i read Michael's post again and see that the car ran with the roadcourse sidepods, luckily for me i have one laying around so i semi start it again.



And this is where i am now, just waiting for the sheet to arrive...

Looks good, I am interested to see this one finished! Are you building it curbside or did you get IndyCal’s Chevy conversion kit?

I am doing both curbside Jordan, well i guess i could have done Mansell's with more details because i separated the pods from the engine cover. I learnt something as i was not aware Michael had done the Chevy engine conversion....
I just had a look at it and that is very nice.

This is a great start!

mate, looking really good !

I like how you're putting the Road Course sidepods on it too for that realism.

I was looking at eBay for '93 Lola's, cheapest I saw was $50 USD. Glad I have 4 or 5 on hand for some builds

The postie brought the mail today and these were in the box, could not help but get a start on putting that big nose decal on.....got to love it.

So decals are finished on this one now as well. I am impressed with Michael's new printing method the ink is bullet proof almost, the only think i found is the paper is tough as well but as long as you trim tight to the printed area the carrier film is basically non existent. I recommend this and the new sheets to anyone....Nice work Michael.
So now it is onto the rest of the work for me with the two builds, but real work beckons next week so things may slow some...

Nice work, Shayne. Interesting seeing Conseco on the car back in '93 - never really paid much attention to that name until they moved up to full-time sponsorship in following years.

Not much of an update but i think you can appreciate that it is 39 degrees Celsius here today and my A/C was serviced last week and of course it is not working correctly...funny it was prior to the service.
So anyway i went out in the garage as it was cooler there for awhile. I sprayed the wheels the other day and i thought i would take a shortcut and clear the kit black plastic, i have to say it looked really good and what a finish, then i sprayed the Alclad Chrome over it, i have done this before with 2K and then chrome and that worked well, but not this time around.


So it was time to soak in the alcohol bath and i started again with the usual process, flat black, gloss black and then today the Alclad, i think i got it this time.
