That's a very nice build. The car looks huge, but is a good representation of what was being raced in 1976.

Bill Elliott's car:

Notice how much space on the body isn't being used for sponsors. To have that much prime rear quarter panel space go empty looks odd by today's standards.

Looks great to me. Now I have to go through my junkyard and unseat Starsky & Hutch and get to work.

I'm one of those guys that doesn't get hung up on being a precise replica of an actual racing vehicle. I am quite happy with a 'representative livery' or whatever evokes the memories or tickles my fancy. From your description of your livery, you nailed it as far as I'm concerned. A beautiful car - but then all of yours are.

You've reamed out the wheel arches and it gives the car a more purposeful look from where I'm sitting. I'd be pretty happy with that thundering around the track.
