Dr. Noise Paints - New 1992 High Resolution Carset Progress

[Dr. Noise]

A bit late to be of the help for the 18 car, but have you looked at this smugmug album? https://bigalsphotos.smugmug.com/search/?q=jarrett&c=photos#q=daytona&i=171

Not too late at all. Thanks for sending that along. It'll help with other cars, too. Very much appreciate this. It also confirms, as far as I can tell, that @Lastlap was correct about the contigs/order.

You're welcome. At some point in 1992 I think they signed Shell, so that replaced Mobil 1. I was watching the Pepsi 400 that was uploaded to classics recently and the 18 car had a Pepsi logo on the rear QP. So there are 2-3 variations of this seemingly basic car.

Edit: there is also this album but it is not organized by year or track but has some great 1992 content: https://bigalsphotos.smugmug.com/Ot...ickel-Collectiion/Daytona-More-Cup-and-Busch/

Success. Moving lines away from far edges of the headlight panel will resolve the line stretch. Crisis averted.

Looks great!

Dale Jarrett complete as it appeared in Daytona and for a few races thereafter. I will likely make a 'Shell' variant and that's about it. They had a few associated sponsors that changed (it looks to be pretty frequently) throughout the year. For the sake of not spending an eternity on one car, 2 cars are probably good enough.

I have always liked that car and you did a fantastic job recreating it, Great job Bill!

GREAT FIND! This actually helps me with some of the obscure 1989 cars! Thank you!

 

[Dr. Noise]

I was informed I had the passenger number on the 18 facing the wrong direction. Apparently in Dale's tenure, the numbers always faced the same slant, regardless of the side the car was on. The neverending battle! haha. Anyways, I'll have that switched come release time.

We are all looking forward to see this set through and you are doing a "Fabulous Job" my Friend.

Thanks! I am enjoying having a group of fellow painters on board with the process. Great way to actually spot the things I miss too when we have so many eyes on it.

Anyone recognize this circular logo? There's 3 variations of this car and that circular shaped logo with what looks like a couple of flags in it is on all 3 cars.

Do believe it's this. Was a sponsor on the 43 in the late 80's and early 90's.

Dude, you nailed it. And that I think should cover solving workable versions for all 3 of the 20 car. Thanks a bunch!

 

[Petty4345]

No problem happy to help, that was an easy one since it was on a Petty car. The cars are looking great, keep up the great work!

Thank you for that suspension springs logo, been looking for it.

@psugorilla whom is often in here in the thread just had a birthday it looks like. Happy birthday!

 

[MrDude68]

I know I'm late to arrive in the thread, but I have to say I'm always amazed to see how you guys manage to scrape up the source material to make these paints accurate. Because of that, the obscure (and rather hideous) #85 car is my favorite so far!

Busy week. Got all I need info wise (I think) for all 3 of the 20 cars. the 1st Ade & Orkin versions are both on this base. Figured I'd post a bit of an update. Getting stripes to connect and not deform on this template & body can sometimes be quite the task. At this point I feel like I've got most of the nuances down. The 3rd version of the car is a Food City sponsored one Spencer drove at Bristol. That one is black/red/yellow and actually did really well with Spencer behind the wheel. Which is great cause it meant it saw a lot of TV time and NASCAR Classics had some clear video for it. Fist pump.

If Only Rob Moroso Was Alive, Then This Would Be His Car.

I know what you mean. When it comes to the original Cup templates for NR2003, the side QPs are my nightmare due to how they force curve to the trunk. Forces me to make a crazy amount of custom sponsor decals (1 for each side!) that combat that curve which sometimes takes forever to get them to look straight.
