this is the AMT snap together kit. I turned it into a Dale Earnhardt car.

Wow James, looks great.....looks like it "belongs" on the circuit.

Although I think if Dale had of lived, he would have been retired long before the COT cars came out (and in reality, if not for his death, the COT car might never have been, but that is just speculation, 20/20 hindsight if you will).

However, if he had of lived, retired, I could see that paint scheme, number and sponsor as you have it there, just with a JR behind the name, with SR running the show.

ya I think he would have been done by now to lol, but maybe he would run only a few races a year.


but they did paint up a COT to pay tribute to his 1998 daytona 500 winning, I used it as a an idea
