Yes, I forget that these shots are 10-20 years older than most of the people on the board.

For all of you that don't know......it is Mario Andretti..... he was a fairly successful driver in his time



:D:D:D

Re: Nazareth 1969
 

Actually I guessed it was Mario, before I saw the name on the cowling.

I have this diecast STP Red Indy car and I thought it was number 2. I thought

maybe Mario drove this Red Number 2, also and the Indy car had STP on it too.

Re: Nazareth 1969
 

I always liked the STP colors, Does anyone know the color code or name of it?

Re: Nazareth 1969
 

I think it is Day Glow Red....no, not Dago red:rolling

Re: Nazareth 1969
 

Well, like always I misinterpreted the question. I thought he wanted to know what STP stood
for.

Here the link on STP.

"Scientifically Treated Petroleum" a division of Chlorox?

P.S. I like DAGO red better. Just sound right...LOL

Here's the link for "DAGO"

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=dago


"Day Goes" = Day Goes

Them dagos over there get paid at the end of the day or we will give them a half days pay if we finish early because they get paid as the "day goes".:rolling

Re: Nazareth 1969
 

I painted my car that color back in the late 80's. In the Mathews colors (which are superior to "House of Color" paints as far as light-fastness and durability) it's called "blaze orange". It's a three step process: white base coat, blaze orange coat, and then a clear coat. it's gorgeous when done correctly.

Re: Nazareth 1969
 

Unfortunately, in this color faded slide it may look Blaze Orange, but this color, in actuality, is more red than it appears. I have used Day Glow Red and Blaze Orange in rattle cans for surveying markers. Reds and oranges don't show quite right on the computer screen either. I've also seen the color of your car and it's not the same as this was.

Al, That day glo color never did reproduce correctly in photos. The Menard indy car that Tony Stewart drove was that chartruese green and it always came out yellow in prints. I took pictures of it at Pike's Peak Int'l. and Phoenix and was always frustrated with the results.
Most of the young guys on IOW never had the thrill of hearing one of those 255 Offys going down the back stretch on a mile track either. That is way too bad!!
