I may be going TOO deep down the #75 rabbit hole.... lol. Who knew this was even a car? NOT ME!

Back to the 1997 set with Chipper and Nipper!
One of my favorite all-time paint schemes - Chad Little flying the John Deere colors in 1997. As well as the Anniversary scheme run at the Brickyard 400 for... what? 3 laps before stuffing it into the wall?
I just the other day, bought chad Little's 1:24 scale diecast of his 160th anniversary of john Deere
Let's start the week off right with a little field-filler from the 1997 Brickyard 400!
Ron Barfield entered the Winston Cup race with his Elliott-Hardy Motorsports ride from the Busch Grand National Series - sporting the #92 rather than his normal #94. The base scheme is pretty unique and was actually a lot of fun to do!

Another from Indy: made the numbers myself!
Special Thanks to @Thunder98 for assistance identifying some of the associate sponsors!

They will be released as part of the 1999 set, which will be uploaded to this site in the coming weeks
Jake already got to it - but yup! They are coming VERY soon as part of a full set put together by a crew of amazing painters. You'll see some of the early year red cars run by Mast as well as the Woody and Crash Bandicoot schemes run after Universal took over sponsorship.

A little more to whet your whistle - The Camo cars here are some of my favorite ones that I've ever done. And that says A LOT
Someone asked to see this insanity - well here ya go!
Out of curiosity have you considered painting the Toy Story 2 themed cars from 1999? Or the Back with the Big Mac scheme Bill Elliott ran? Also fantastic job on the camo schemes! That must have taken literally forever a day to line up properly lol
The #26 Woody car that Johnny Benson ran is available as part of the upcoming 1999 carset - a great paint courtesy of @Majesticexpress
I was going to offer to do the #94 'Buzz Thru' of Elliott - but honestly I couldn't find enough good reference material for it. The Diecasts that were produced did not accurately reflect the real scheme. Maybe someday!
I ran into the same problem with lack of reference material when I attempted to do this car a while back. I even went back and watched the entire race on YouTube to see if I could get a clearer picture to no avail. I never have actually seen the rear of the car in any photo. Because I am sure that it has more on it then just two of the army men. Very rarely were the back bumpers bare of sponsorship at that time. I really don’t understand why the diecast was not even remotely accurate. Frustrating to say the least. As far as the Kyle Petty one the diecast seems to be accurate as well as the Woody car diecast so idk what made them decide to not make the Buzz one accurate lol
I did more digging. I used the way back machine to look and see if there are any pictures on jayski of the buzz thru car and I found some! They are clear and provide a better picture of what the car looked like. I provided the link above. There are like 5 or so pictures!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
Who knew that 1996 Hut Stricklin and 1997 Hut Stricklin were two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT paint schemes?!?!
It is going to be a busy year at work - but I am making it my goal to get back on track with this 1997 set and release it before the end of 2021.
