Raj, looks fantastic!! I love the stuff you do, so much attention to detail, and all the right period things to do. this is perfect.

Wow! That's looks damn nice!

Raj is the first to do a triple color decal with me. He's got another set in a different color scheme which I'll let him reveal. That one will be impressive as well.

Everyone is getting so creative with their color choices! I rarely do black anymore.

Thanks for the business Raj - it was a pleasure!

Very very nice. If back then that option would have been available for the US market, I bet customers would have chosen it all the time.

Thanks for the "memory".

here are period photos used to place the scripts.I decided to retain all the trim as most early cars did race with trim.The decal placement is slightly higher when trim is present.I chose not to run the script into the wheel well since as damage is inevitable will look untidy-altough one can see in pix below it was done both ways.

Raj,

Remember these photos are more than just 'period'. They are period Porsche factory photos of brand new cars published in the factory magazine Christophorus. That's why you can rely on them for placement, etc.

Fantastic idea!! Compliments to all!!

BUT.....

THE REAL "TRICOLORE" (that in Italian language means ITALIAN FLAG) is this:



LICHERI-BERRUTO
TARGA FLORIO 1970

Very clever, Raj and Bob. I could see people doing these in other multicolor national themes, like Italy's red/white/green, Germany's black/red/gold, Switzerland and Austria's red/white/red, etc.

Thanks for the kind words.The roof rack is going and need to slowly add the other american racing components to give the car it's personality.Racemark,torq thrust,good years,decals? what else can you guys give me.

Raj

Brilliant! Torque Thrust wheels and Goodyears will definitely be a good match for this Americana Theme.

perhaps Valvoline and or champion spark plug decals. maybe union 76 if you like that better.. or even stp

this car and theme makes me think that the trans-am series race cars would be a good inspiration to draw from
