I’d love to run a faux 60's NASCAR style theme on it.

Letting the owner talk is a good call. This host gets on my nerves.

I like Mike. He gets you involved, and knows his shit.

Any particular car you’d most like to replicate? Or going to do something unique that copies the general look?

He just seems arrogant to me. Like everything he says is sooo important, and new. When in reality it’s neither.

Plus there was one video where the said “naturally aspirated” when he meant carbureted. Not just once but for the whole video. Talking about how you can have a reliable powerful car with pout going with an LS motor and fuel injection.

Just the look. Petty’s cars have been overdone, as have Dale Sr’s and everything from the 90's and up when the factory started offering them.... to reach back in my past, I’d like to find a early 80's Regal and do a green and white Skoal Bandit type theme. Its one of the few cars that really stood out to me when I first saw NASCAR.

But the right car would probably tell ME what it should look like. This Starliner is nearly perfect. If I happened across a similar style of 60's two-door or even something like a 70's Trans Am racer I’d find a scheme that fit it.

Something like this:

Yeah, I could never bring myself to do a Petty or Earnhardt style car. It’s just too overdone.

I do like the skoal bandit car though. I’d also consider copying one of the Wood Brothers cars with the gold numbers. Like this Fireball Roberts car.

For 80's themes I also like the Rusty Wallace Kodiak car.

The tobacco companies had a lot of cool cars.

I badly want a 1973+ Chevelle with a NASCAR treatment.

This:

Into:

If it was mine, I wouldn’t letter it up and put numbers on it. I would, however, give it a NASCAR themed paint job (maybe even the one above, but without the numbers and sponsors). I’d also try to find replica wheels, tuck the bumpers as close to the body as possible, lower it, and put a cage in it.
