This is Dave Mader III's entry for the 1992 Daytona 500. This was the second car to show up to Daytona with the #13. This one was fielded by Seal-Tech Motorsports/Clint Folsom. Mader needed to make it in through his Twin 125 race, as they did not have the speed to lock themselves in during qualifying. Unfortunately, he ended up crashing in qualifying race #1 only 4 laps in, resulting in missing the Daytona 500. This would also be the same crash that took out A.J. Foyt's second of three cars.
Bask in its glory! lol. I had never seen it before, either. It's great having these photographers of the era sharing their stuff for us on Facebook and other places. There is one decal I left off on the quarter. With it being a DNQ car I just didn't feel like it was a good use of time to go hunting for one decal. I also forgot to put the triangle for the jack post location in the photos, but it's actually on the car in the game. I put it on after taking the photos and realizing I had forgotten it. Dang amateur. lol
As I understood it, in a case like this, whomever registers first gets the number in the event both qualify. But, during just practice/qualifying & the Twin 125's, Skinner & Mader would have been listed as #13 & #113 officially.
One of these days, either me or someone else really ought to work on the side window configurations of these cars. Look at the difference between the Cup90 template window and the actual photo of the car. I messed with it a little bit for the 94 set but there's a lot of variations from team to team. Also would be fun to create a mip patch to the mod to add in the deck lid braces.
Car looks great man. Love the gold in the numbers especially. That's a color that can be a tad bit tricky to get just right in game. In fact I think you made the car look better than the real one.

there is a video on youtube, showing sterling marlin's kodak car and just how aero those window openings actually were. sterling said he had a hard time getting in and out of the car it was so tight.
Oh yeah, look at that! See, now we gotta find it.
That is it for sure.IMO it's 'Nelson Specialties'.
Yeah a lot of them did have different openings and different vent configurations. I haven't checked the Pontiacs but I know Chevy and Ford both had variations.
While it looks similar, it's not a Pontiac window. Some Chevy teams during that time/era ran a different style window.

Still feels weird seeing early 90s pictures of Marcis' cars when he was sponsored by Big Apple.
Waynesboro, PA is 10 minutes from my house across the PA State Line and if you knew the area you too would wonder how the ever-lovin'-eff a business from there ended up on a NASCAR Cup ride.
If I recall correctly from doing my '97 carset - George and Sons Transportation was an associate for him as well in the 90s..... they are in Waynesboro as well.
