This is my own personal car that I will be running from now on. The design is from Alan Johnson's 2005 Big Block that he ran at Super Dirt week last week. I made the body from scratch, painted and then vinyled the car myself. Thsi car is 95% vinyl, the only paint is the red inner deck and the white base color on the doors. This was the hardest car That I have designed and vinyled to date. I think it came out great!!!!!!! I also attached a pic of the real car so you can see how close they are.

That is one outstanding job!! I was at super dirt week and that car you did is awesome. I have been pondering getting involved in rc racing with either the EDM or sprint cars but I am really not sure as to how to get started. Any help would be appreciated.......once again, GREAT JOB!!!

Solly, I did spell Chiefs wrong, I diddnt even notice it,......Wow that as bad as Winzens spelling "chocolate" wrong. I cant be perfect all te time, LOL
If I catch to much heat from it I just might get the old x-acto knife out and modify that decal a little :)

On second thought, The reason I spelled it wrong was because, due to Infringement and copyright laws I was'nt allowed to duplicat the decal to my usual standards, LOL!!!!!!!
Sounds good right????????

Just to let everyone know, The "cheifs" has been correctly spelled to CHIEFS. Thanks to solly for pointing that out, Other wise it would have been like that for who know how long, LOL!!!!!!!
Animal: After I got done layering the Chiefs decal I realized that they were facing the wrong way, But I Figured that nobody would notice :)

did'nt want to make you upset.that is a hard car to copy.iwork for j.r.and wish he did'nt keep me so busy so i could do more than my own rc cars.

Ok, Sorry diddnt mean to jump on you like that. That was the hardest R/C car that I ever did. I talked to Jim at Dirt week and asked him if he could send me the tepmlate for the feather but he said he used some other program to design it, so I had to make it myself. I worked for alan for 2 years (2003+2004) and from then on all my cars are just copies of Alan's real cars. Seeing how you work for JR you are probably used to seeing alot of JIR motorsports panels around there, LOL!! Jeff Isabell sponsors our sportsman car, we have the JIR motorsports #29J. I attached a pic of the car, The doors and quarters were from Alans 2004 358 car, I just peeled the Tracey, and the 14J Off and vinyled it up myself. I have alot of respect for you, It is hard as hell to put on a piece of big vinyl like you guys do without any bubbles. Sorry for the angry reply.
