Nice work, clean as always. I'm finishing the History Channel/Texaco GT1 EVO that ran at Daytona in 2000 and wondering if those Texaco decals are red or orange? The decals with this kit are looking pretty orange....

Are you planning on using Krylon clear? Does that stuff ever dry?

Is this the acrylic clear? I let mine cure for over a week and still had tape marks in the finish (had to tape the body to the chassis to clamp it). Might just be the learning curve...
