scottnorwood 494 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I was curious if you could only pick 1 dirt modified as your favorite paint scheme (or vinyl... if you must) what would it be? a few ground rules though first: 1. No IMCA or UMP modifieds (I shouldn't have to say this but I know some of you out there will put down your Faygo and post a pic of some mid-west IMCA "modified"...not on this post!) 2. Please post a pic or a link of the car unless its an obvious one 3. If your favorite car is Tyler Trump's 2020 car.....just save it man...no politics on the post.

Uncle tom 398 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I wish, for the life of me, that I could find a picture of one of the Jimmy Hauser 2H modifieds from SDW during the mud 90’s ! Those cars were absolutely beautiful. Easily my all time favorite paint schemes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sicklajoie 404 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Of course I'm biased but you can never go wrong with Eddie Marshall's cars that have been hand lettered by Dennis Smith for almost 40 years!! A simple classy design that is easy to see on the track.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ranger22 387 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I was never a fan of Brett Hearn but I liked his Auto place cars. I always thought the were clean looking and I liked the red, black and white color scheme. Fred Rahmer's Rio Bros. R-10 in 1984 was sharp too. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Redsopinion 18 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Billy Taylor’s rides were always beautiful.  Probably the 14j for Syracuse was the best.  I’m sure someone has a picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

inthecuse 475 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I think this topic is great! The picture I posted of Steve Paine's 7x (hand lettered by Bob Meyer Signs) is the time where cars were going from all hand lettered with a mix of vinyl. I'm definitely not taking anything away from the wraps that are on cars today but it's definitely a different type of talent than years gone by. Plus the photography skills (Bob Lewis Photography) with this picture is a 10 out of 10! The photo is taken (before the days of photoshopping and filtering digital images) right at Steve's family business, Paine's Garage. Just pure talent and getting it right the first time . . . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ric 149 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Good topic. Â Picked the Bud for my Mudboss car. Â Hearn from 85 through the Bud years always had great schemes. Â The black Madsen years were top notch as well. Â Â Â 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ric 149 Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Lou Lazzaro’s maroon with the white stripe.  Dave Lape’s flamed 22 were good.  Especially that time he did the red cars.  Jack’s Birosh looked great in the early 90’s. His pavement car was a beauty.   The one thing about wraps is that it has allowed the schemes to become too busy.  Too many wild stripes.  It’s like there’s so much on them you can’t clearly see the number or sponsors.  Sorry to pick on him, but Larry Wight comes to mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
