I didn't see any blurry images - looks great !

I liked the 70s Ford "Nascar" type truck.

Also the FHP car. I built one long ago before the coupe body was available - by modifying the convertible kit version that was out.

As a note - for anyone who wanted to build one - the radiator hoses (and heater hoses) should be light blue in color. They were silicone hoses (not rubber).

Also on older vehicles the State Trooper words on the front fender were bright gold. Now they are a more gold yellow.

The Fred Cady decals I have used (older ones when he was making them himself) were very close as far far as the gold. (I still have a few left thankfully)

I have seen new versions of decals for models where the lettering is yellow or even white ( I have never seen a FHP car with white lettering on the fenders myself). It's possible not every part of the state paints their cars with the same graphics maybe.

Or when they were bright gold those may have been painted on. Now I am sure they probably use vinyl (probably reflective)..
