Re: No Decals
As many here will remember, back in the old days, MOST drag cars had lots of stickers, a car name on the doors, & sponsor name on the rear fenders. Most cars were referred to by their name. I still do that, for the cars I remember from those days. Example: My first Pontiac drag racing hero was Truman Fields. I still refer to his car as the "Hard Times" Firebird. Another favorite was the "Tons-a-Fun" '72 Lemans wagon. I'm sure that lots of us old timers could call lots of cars by the name they had on the sides.
To me, it just didn't look like a race car without stickers. I still like stickers & names. If I wanna see a plain paint job on an old car, I can just go to a car show. A race car should look like a race car, not a show car, IMO.
Different strokes.
