Looking forward to it as I’ve seen some photos over in the cooks thread !!

New track decals to comply with NASA regulations - will apply to dragoon when weather gets a little warmer in the garage.

Saw robins today in our yard & neighborhood. Lots of robins !! Track season is very very close !! Hope I didn’t just jinx my self ??

I enjoy assembling LEGO’s, the Technic category with cars being my favorite. Some of my past builds to cure the winter blues but with spring coming, that will be replaced with the full sized version on some asphalt.

Preliminary door card placement
The white outside border is the backing material.

Plumb line is great but the placard doesn't run parallel with the body lines and looks off. Longest line of the graphic is what is read. Take a second look.

Yes, I see it now. I will measure parallel from top body crease to get same distance to the bottom crease to get it centered between the body lines (creases) Thanks @steveespo

Ok, a little adjustment to run parallel to body lines and got this :
@steveespo Or others, comments ? Good to go ??

Step way back an take a look. Just me I like my top front corner off the centerish off the mirror on the driver side but are angled. If they were square I think they would need moved a little farther forward. I have magnets and really don't measure and happy within an inch or 2...

Looks better. Left top corner can come down about 3/8" and it would look perfect to my eye. Not messing with you, they are nice size.

Thanks @steveespo , I’ll adjust and repost. The hazards of a 3 digit car number preference and the 10” NASA mandated height makes the placard a bit “nice sized” and fill the door sheet metal area. I could reduce the height of the placard overall without my name & flag, but I said what the heck, it‘s already large.
@steveespo , I looked at your old car photos with the 121 numbers and I’m going to move the placard back a bit so it doesn’t look so front end heavy ? When you had the 3 digits on yours, looks well balanced.
@KazarS197 , as I mentioned above, I’ll take your suggestion and move it back a smidge. Yours being angled looks very nice.

My motto as a race driver as many know is; "It is better to look good, than to drive good, darlings..."

Mark are you going RA the weekend of the 20th and 21st?

Dialing in placard placement.
@steveespo good try ?
@KazarS197 back far enough off the mirror ?
Doesn’t look too bad to me but wanted other eyes on it cause I don’t want to be that guy

Hopefully 1 of the 2 days - I need new tires in front as the rears I’ll swap side to side. RT660, directional. The left front got gauged down to the casing by a piece of carbon fiber left on track at Autobahn on the very last track day last season. BWM with clapped out body work, POS side sill, sheetmetal screwed in body, tore off on a 4 wheel off in front of me & another car. Carbon, screws and dirt over the whole corner where it happened, right in front of us. Somehow the sill got flicked up by the car in front of me & I drove over it not knowing the damage. The car in front of me got a 3” long sheet metal screw in his rear tire & it lost all air 2 corners later and he limped into the paddock.
Long story short, I’ll be there if I can get the tires mounted up.
I’m saving my Cup2’s for Mid-Ohio so I need the RT660’s.
