This week's update - I loaded the car up on the trailer yesterday & dropped it off to get the decals and lettering applied. Jim Crist from the Toy Store in Florida has fed-exed up a package of articles and pictures which should be arriving on Monday. We'll be reproducing his signature from the SCCA log book to go above the driver's door & he's also included several of his own Toy Store decals which were on the car originally.
I brought the car to 32 Signs in Baltic, CT, about an hour & 1/2 away, who does most of the circle track cars in the state. Tom the owner noticed immediately that the decal on the car used the wrong Sunoco logo with the forward leaning letters where the original used the "then" current logo with the static letters. There's a reason we use professionals!
By this time next week the car should look the way it did when raced in the early 90's and the restoration should be complete!
