A real challenge to many of my illustrations is to get the decals right. This illustration is a "hybrid" of sorts between Dale Earnhardt's original car and the restored version of his car that was sold at auction by Barrett-Jackson.
I corrected the blue color to Mark Donohue's Sunoco Porsche. Some older photographs show more of a blue-violet color, while some show more of a royal blue color. I tried to show a balance of the two extremes.
