A good friend of mine who frequents this forum, Doug Estabrook, also does magnificent builds. He recreated one of my first race cars a couple of years ago. Incredible work.

I like that! I have problems with doing the lettering. If I had somebody that I could depend on doing them I would send them plenty of work. Ive turned down 50-60 cars because I couldn't do the lettering the way I wanted. Out of the 450 cars Ive done since 2007 only about 25-30 of them have lettering.

I do not remember who Doug uses for his lettering, but the guy is a master. What blew me away was that I only had a handful of photos from 40 years ago, yet the accuracy is uncanny. Many of the decals and lettering on the car were one-offs that had to be hand-created. Doug had me fill out a five page questionnaire that gave him a lot of information about colors and parts, but I am still amazed. I have the model sitting in a display case on my desk and stop and ponder the quality of work regularly.
