There also was no #34 to ever run during..... wait - WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Todd Bodine sat this thing on the pole in it's ONLY race at Watkins Glen?!?!?!?
Slip's Showroom (.....of DOOOOOM!)

- Start date
I bet if Schrader were to see this, he would give it 1 and a half thumbs up. Lol.
Along with the #34 yesterday this has become Two-Days-of-Todd. Bodine attempted a few races with the new Tabasco Team in 1997 but only managed to qualify for 1. Sadly, the team faired about that well in 1998 before folding entirely.
Tbh thats the best way to describe the skittles narration lol
Pretty sure they used the same child voice for both this and the Mazda 'Zoom-Zoom' lmao
Jeremy Mayfield during the first half of 1997 drove the Kmart/ RC Cola scheme that everyone remembers him running that year..... and then during the second half of the year drove the Kmart/ RC Cola scheme that NO ONE remembers him running.
Ha! Betcha didn't think I could find a #38 to fill today's spot! Butch Gilliland, a Winston West driver, qualified and ran in the Save Mart 300 @ Sears Point.
Big shout out to @Steven Merzlak for his assistance in completing a portion of this carset! The always controversial Robby Gordon is the first of his contributions - and I used his base scheme to complete the 2 other paint schemes Robby ran in 1997.
Took me a long time to find a photo to know what it said under 'MAKINO'. Oh, it's "Block And Head Group".
Why people didn't take close up angles of the decals back in the day is beyond me.

Much appreciated! That means a lot to me coming from the hardest working SOB on this site!
I always thought this was one of the more underrated coors schemes. It’s always forgotten, but it’s so badass! One of my favorites!
That was a good Coors scheme that season. So nice, I couldn't help but make a version of it for my 2019-to-1997 set a couple of years back.
I actually liked all 3 of the Sabco schemes a lot that one year here. Especially their number orientation - and lots of swoopy designs!
I hate to but I must be the nitpicky asshole because I used to absolutely love the Rooster so much... are you planning to complete the hood circle-y gradient Tide logo onto the front QPs? Like onto that bit that isn't the hood?
there are a few shots of the car where the logo doesn't expand horizontally past the hood and when it does, it's cut off a little bit. that can be adjusted by either making the logo "skinnier", making the entire logo a little smaller or just making the yellow portion smaller. could be just the way the body was too. the hood might be wider in real life than it is on the model

As noted in the @spidertre photos - that hood fade hardly seemed consistent. At least one of his pictures is from '96 - but regardless - most of the references photos I was working off of had the yellow truncated by the edge of the hood. I have the Tide - Mountain Spring version included in the final set but I never planned on going nuts included every variant from the year
Front QPs?
Oh.... 'Fenders'
I would say the hoods were all sprayed without a mask or template, each photo is different. No wraps back then, lol.
