"A Tale of Three Birds"
#1 Roger McCluskey (1970 Motor Trend 500) - Car 3 of 3
by: nolimitphil
Preface:
Greetings, fellow Stunod Racing members! This is my first foray into sharing paint schemes with the NR2003 community!
When it comes to modeling, you could say I'm a rivet counter. Each paint scheme I produce is intended to be prototypical to the race-specific vehicle it is based on, referencing historical photographs and archival footage. This means accurate contingency stickers, sponsors, etc., for every individual file.
Each download contains a high and low resolution version.
Hi-Res: 2048x2048 car / 1024x1024 pit
Low-Res: 1024x1024 car / 512x512 pit
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I do!
Background:
BEEP BEEP!

- #42 Dan Gurney (Petty Enterprises)
- #43 Richard Petty (Petty Enterprises)
"A Tale of Three Birds" is a 3-car set by nolimitphil of these historic vehicles. This page includes the individual download of Roger McCluskey's paint scheme. Driver rating is generated by NRatings (SnyderArt v2.0 rating formula) for 1/18/1970 Motor Trend 500 at Riverside.
If you like my work and would like see more, please provide feedback!
Trivia:
In the Motor Trend Riverside 500, after 193 laps, Roger McCluskey finished in 2nd place -- less than four seconds behind winner A.J. Foyt. This was his best finish in only four Nascar Grand National Series races (McCluskey regularly competed in USAC instead).
