Looks like another masterpiece in the making here. That looks absolutely amazing James.
Good old turtle wax, is available everywhere. Perhaps I should give it a try.

What do you use for polishing the windows?

Looking forward to next update.

Great job on the decals James, your line separations look spot on! I have to hand it to you, today’s NASCAR’s are harder to paint and decal. Your tires look great as well. How much work is going into the chassis and engine, and will you add in the roof flap cable detail. Slixx has some of the best decals, it’s a shame they had to stop producing their NASCAR series due to the licensing. Again a great looking car, and looking forward to seeing her finished.

BTW: Harvick’s red scheme was my favorite.
