1997 Darrell Waltrip Chrome scheme. Revell chrome plated body, Tamyia Fl Red and NUMEROUS sheets of old Slixx decals..... those things were sooooo damn brittle, ever after resealing them!

These are stunning. I’d pay so much money on eBay for diecast these accurate

 

[Slipster17]

Oh yes - this is happening!

It's been a hot minute - but this project is nearing it's end.

Ok y'all..... it needs to NOT be -10° with the windchill so I can clear coat this mother and be done with it!

Wow, that is really cool.. Great job!

@Slipster17 That would be cool to send off the windshield for an auto.

Interesting thought - may have to look into that.

That is just incredible work. I stick to keeping things white when I do any decal work. But I am so very clearly not this skilled two thumbs, way, way up.

Wonder if the Big Daddy's Checks bounced or not for this race haha

 

[Slipster17]

I feel like that started happening right around Daytona time 1999. Because Junie Donlavey's team and Mike Harmon were all set to run Daytona with that sponsor and then stripped the decals prior to the race. These 3 cars ran in November of 1998 - and I feel like if checks were already bouncing at this point the #90 team would have never signed any deals.

true.. they sponsored some cars in 1998 before this race but never heard anything from those teams either, the again the only cup team they sponsored (that i know of) has pretty much no traces online so i don't know.

the late 90s were a GREAT time for dead-beat sponsors trying to get some air-time..... Speedblock and the end of Darrell Waltrip's #17...... Big Daddy's BBQ and their numerous attempts..... Ultra Shield in Winston West.....

 

[Garat66]

I should look into it sometime... still surprises me just how many of these sponsors showed up in such a small timeframe haha.

Lance Norick was pretty quick too. I believe he was the highest finishing non-Cup driver in the race. Jeff Davis bought that car and it was the car he attempted the Brickyard 400 with in 99 I think it was when they ended up putting Lance Hooper int he car to try and find more speed but Hooper actually ran slower than Davis had.
Jeff said he got paid by Big Daddy's for the races he had with them so there's that. On the cup side they sponsored this car, tried to sponsor the 90 and did sponsor the #41 for Larry Hedrick for a time.
