Topic: 1990 Busch Grand National Set

[BlueOysterCult87]

I'm hoping this will get moved to the announcements page, but anyway;

It is my pleasure to announce the beginning stages of the 1990 NASCAR Busch Series carset. I had been wondering if anyone was going to make one for quite a while, and it's been long enough, so you're in luck. I will need some help with some of the schemes, logo and font id's, some numbers and logos drawn along with a few other things. This will be a tough project in regards of tracking pictures and finding / making a lot of the older logos. I can only guess how most of the cars look due to mostly all of the shots being front and side shots. Any pictures not on the HSCRF would be a great help, whether or not the car itself is already on HSCRF. If anyone would like to help out with this, I would greatly appreciate it as my time is limited. Simply join our facebook group if you are interested in helping.

Kyle Petty's #42 SplitFire Spark Plugs Pontiac. This will also be an easy renumber for Todd Bodine's #81 Pontiac. This is not quite done, need a few small decals along with the Grand Prix logo on the nose.

Feel free to join the group on Facebook as I will more then likely keep that more updated then on here for the meantime.

Very nicely done.

Great work so far. I think the facebook group is a great idea for this type of project. We usually delete the attachments here every 90 days, so these images will go away.

I can add the facebook group link to the first post if you like, that way folks can find it easier.

Hey, thanks for editing the post.

As far as those of you who do not use Facebook, you can browse it without having a Facebook account and view the pictures, and I'm almost certain you can read our posts about the set as well. You can feel free (if you have a Facebook account) to join the group and also invite anyone you'd like. I could use any help I can get.

The Jeff Gordon #67 Outback car is just lacking the number. I need a font ID on that.

Be sure to keep checking out the page! I've since added quite a few schemes and could still really use some help with painting some of these cars! Simply PM me with contact (email) details if you'd like to help.

With that being said, are there any painters that wouldn't mind helping out? I could use some help. Whatever you want to design. Cars, driver suits, pit crews, logos, numbers, bases, etc. If you'd like to help me you can either PM me or send me an email (check in profile).

It's a slow work in progress right now. Life gets in the way from time to time.

Are any free lance painters available to help out some? I can supply you with plenty of pictures, templates, contingencies and such. I need help with making some of the numbers and logos, as I've never been too good with that. Also, is there anyone who likes to paint pit crews and or drivers?

You can join the Facebook group by clicking the link below in my signature.

If you wish to help, I ask you email me with some examples of your work. My email is cakin24@gmail.com I just ask that you put something in the subject such as "BGN90 Help" or similar.

Thanks, and I know it's been a long process (and will still be a while before it's complete). I only update this here occasionally from time to time, if you join the Facebook group you will get all the updates with pictures included. You don't even need a Facebook account to see the group or the pictures.
