Cool!! I myself have a few fantasy NASCAR builds. I think they are the best, they mean more to us race car builders than just a box stock!

Try mixing some of your own and others. Thats what I do. What I found is to print your own designs on clear decal paper, the kicker is they need to be laid on light colors,of course white is best. Or you may have to double or triple laying the decal, which can be a bugger, but is do-able

easy peasy stuff bud. Hobby Lobby has decal sheets that work from any ink jet printer, and they carry the decal bonding spray. Googles some pictures, use your paint program, stretch em, use different text and colors. Then print a bunch of test pages, sizes for the car you are doing. I usually print "drafts" until I get the decal the right size I want, so you dont use up all your ink making test pages. Then attach some decal paper to a page surrounding your designs, print - spray - cut - and dip! LOL Does take some practice I guess, but once you get a few sheets made, you get it figured out bud.

Having fits trying to do the window trim by hand

Looks good Chris - I know what you mean, on these older kits, I would do the same outside edge by hand, then tape off each side of the window braces to paint them. Was tedious, but I remember the feeling when they were done. Bow a days, newer kits have the windows already done - where is the fun with that! LOL
Anyways, these look great - you did an awesome job bud!!
