As soon as I saw that car I knew I had to paint it.

 

[Rob D.]

Incredible work, we're not worthy.

Is this car #15B0F0 ?

15 Bofo is one of the hex codes that I have committed to memory.

 

[Highbank]

Bonus fantastic stuff rolling out Bill!

Yep, that was the kit car program Chrysler came up with for the local short track stuff. Some other names familiar with nascar helped out as well building them at Petty. If I remember right Steve Hmiel and a few others had the job at petty to fabricate the parts for that program. They hired Dale to test the car. Nice work on the car, looks great.

I liked this car so well that it's now my Windows Desktop Image.

Yes that's #15B0F0, RGB Values 21-176-240

Did some more work on the car today and changed the look of the front and rear.

 

[Highbank]

I like the changes I feel very inspired

 

[BillA1947]

I think I'll call this one finished, a big thanks to @Rob D. for the front fender Arca decal.

I would like a template of this dodge, if I could please?

 

[Zak103tv]

its something team om3ga made relatively recently

NXS20 – Team Om3gA Racing

its there "NXS20D" Mod, they made carviewer files, template and a mod file

 

[SDR]

Oh ok, so I can acquire it from their site?

Yes, it's the NXS20D Demon template from Team Om3ga. The NXS20D mod was released on Aug 1 and so far has only had 25 downloads.

I'm curious as to what makes the D mod different? Is it just the dodge model instead of the generic model?

Yes, the Dodge Demon replaces the Honda Accord (Generic) Model which to me makes more sense having American muscle instead of Honda.
