Those are some real beauties there!
I just love the look of those classic cars and they seem to gain extra speed from those cool racing colors.
Very well done!

They're both beauties but I think that Class A is a real gem!
Great stuff.

The decals are a combination - the racing number is commercial, the Grace Bros, TAA and Ampol printed on decal sheet via a inkjet printer.
Next up - John Leffler's Mini's, Bruce Taylor's Jag sports sedan and Brian Foley's Alfa GTAm
Also working on - but will be a little down the track - Bruce Carey's V8 Capri

I don't believe for one minute those are Aussie racers.
Not nearly enough room for the beer.
Great stuff and I always enjoy your racing cars!

I like this one a lot and not just because I smoked Chesterfields (albeit non-filters) for years.
Yet more outstanding paint work. Few get 'em as sharp and clean as you do.
Great stuff!

It may not be accurate (like a boffin like me would know) bit it's one of my favorites out of all your racers yet!
It's a winner all the way in my book!
