Outstanding!!!

Hey, what was it they used to say about guys who drank grape soda? :)

Very cool...and there be another fun run soon.

[ListerStormGT]

Rob, Very cool and it fits right in! Maybe we should rename it the "Soda Stocker Series" ... :D

[TuscoTodd]

That NEHI vette is sweet!
Love the idea of a "soda" sponsor series as well. :)

Oh my! I love that color and the decals are great! Nice work!

[waaytoomuchintothis]

Thanks, guys. My secret decal maker did a fantastic job on those decals, eh? I copied them from a 1920s painted ad in a an old magazine. I may have to dust off the the old ink jet and learn how he does it- like I need more skills to learn! All I know for sure is he printed it on white decal paper because I told him it was going on dark purple paint.

I used white primer and Testors Diamond Dust for an undercoat. The purple is Purple Licious- just one coat. Look out for the Diamond Dust. That is the hottest lacquer I have yet seem- it shrivelled and bubbled the primer after 24 hours under a lamp.

Thank you for sharing the painting details on the NEHI car!
Using scans of the old ads is a slick idea! :)

The color is fantastic. The fender striping is one of my favorite touches on these 'Vettes, and you did a great job of that on this one. Good touch on the wheels too.

I love it! The old ads really set it off from the crowd. One small note: the driver should be "Radar O'Reilly" (old guys will get it). Again, great work.

Great job Rob. Nice conversion on the chassis!

[TuscoTodd]

WOW! Not only a sweet paint job - but a cool set of mods as well! Will be interesting to see how much different the sidewinder handles than the normal front engine set up does. :)
Thanks for share the additional details!
:)
