Does anyone have any tips on making this like the one pictured or have one made they wouldn’t mind sharing? Seems simple but I can’t get the ends to do right and it doesn’t come out quite like it should. Thanks for the help in advance! 79BDEB41-C25C-4C83-8FC1-F9928F29001F.jpeg

What I sometimes do with designs on a scheme is trace it. I take a pic of the side of the car (or a drawing like the NASCAR.com renders) and put it into my project as a layer. I stretch it to fit as best as I can get it and then just drawing my lines on a layer above it.

I use different colors so that it's easier to see (Example: for the red in it I might use a bright blue) and then change them when I've got it where I want it to be.

So here's an example of the type of image I trace from:

I find it easier too because then you're not playing as much of a guessing game on where to line up thing or whether you've made parts of the scheme the right size.

Now it might be hard to find something like this for Frank Kimmel and ARCA so I'd suggest trying to look for something of Paul Menards. The car's going to be a bit different but you might be able to still stretch it and get it to fit properly if you wanted to try that approach.

I never thought of that, great idea! Thank you for the idea!
