Title: Sheldon Creed Arca Championship Toyota
Post by: MarkJ on June 23, 2024, 11:19:52 AM
Not Nascar but close and actually owned by Nascar now. Used a snap kit to turn a Jimmie Johnson Chevy kit into a Toyota

Very nice build. Clever manipulation as well. Did you create those decals also?

Yes, Donato. I don't believe anybody makes ARCA decals that I know of.

As always, great job Mark. I'm running out of words to compliment your work. I always find myself in awe.

I have said it before and I will unabashedly repeat myself. An excellent build and outstanding work on the modifications.

Quote from: Rattlecan Dan on June 23, 2024, 12:00:40 PMIs there any way on God's green earth I can influence you to create the decals for my Charlie Lima (Eddie Flemke) tribute modified? Name your price.

Thanks for taking a look


Donato, I would need the model to make the decals. That's how I do it, to make them fit. However, I must respectfully decline your request because I don't have enough time it seems to get anything done on my own build because I have become extremely slow at building models and even making decals these days. There is a guy who makes custom decals for people that post builds over at Model Cars Magazine forum. I would make a general inquiry over there and see if anyone responds. It's tuff to get old and slow.

Rattlecan Dan: Mark Fasig at Polecat Decals does excellent custom decal work, I've used him several times. Just send him the pictures and he'll quote you a price. All his info is on the Polecat Decals website

I fully understand Mark. Getting a lot slower myself. Thanks for taking a look and responding. I appreciate it. Speedracer I have the 2X decals offered by Polecat but did not come as this tribute cars extra shadowing and few other letterings (Lima's Auto Body). But I will ask about special decals. Thanks for the heads up.

Great conversion Mark.  The fabrication work is stellar.

Thanks, Jim. I'm glad they actually make a Toyota kit now, but I really don't want to build it now. Nobody I like drives a Toyota at this time except Bubba and Reddick, but I don't like them enough to build one of those mind-blowing kits.

That's a lot of work and it turned out great. Very different. Thanks for sharing.
