What no 3 on the door?
nice PC looks good

 

[Inspector13]

Like the car. Paint looks good. Like the rims.

 

[GREG@SN95]

Is it a car or a truck???

Looks pretty good. I would remove the bumpers, fairly cheap and simple body mod, and you can ebay the bumpers to recoup some of the cost on the roll pans.

Eh too Dale Earnhardty for me. Looks like one of those Monte SS #3 editions. I'd try something else if it were me. How about a dark red on the top, with the siver bottom and maybe a bright orange stripe seperating them?

My exact thoughts. I hate him, he was an A**hole of a driver, and I hate to say it he got what he deserved, he was always against safety equipment and what not and caused lots of crap on the track. But I do like the newer wheels .

 

[1bad95]

looks good. i tihnk that paint scheme with the choochoo kit on it would be slick!

RAT ROD EL COMINO! that's what'd I do, unless it is already nice.

 

[N8Legarda]

i think the black/red/gray combo is so cliched. i actually like the original a lot..

mineral grey top, black bottome with a bright orange stripe seperating them

that's a pretty harsh thing to say regardless of how you thought of him as a driver; I don't think anyone deserves to die. whether you rooted for him or against him, if you're a NASCAR fan you owe him a giant debt of gratitude...he is one of those drivers that took the sport to the next level in terms of competition, fans, popularity, TV, teams, money invested/sponsors, etc.

True, but live like an a**hole, Die like one. He was an very selfish man and a WAY too aggressive and not a safe driver which unfortunately ended his life.

You obviously know nothing about Nascar or who Dale Sr. was... I'm a die-hard Jeff Gordon fan, but Dale Sr. was anything but a selfish person and he was the kind of guy that busted his ass for everything that he had. Not busting your balls, but if you don't know anything about the subject I'd say it would be wise not to talk about it..

 

[Rice_slayer]

He was an agressive driver as known by the "intimidator" name they gave him. I hate guys who bump and tap to win races, gordon, johnson, busch(both of them). I cheer for edwards as he is a classy driver with a lot of talent, I am aware he gets hot-headed too(brad keslowski comes to mind, but brad DID send him into the fence at talledega) but he is always apologising, unlike the way senior was as he thought it was his way or the highway...

I cheer for the guy who works on his 10k car everyday in the garage and then brings it to autox events
