sorry sparky, i couldnt paint your car, my tiral version of paintshop ended, but could anybody paint a car for sparky? i found a cool base www.nascarnet.com/filelibrary.asp?fileid=37573 and if somebody could finish it off with #306 and everything that would be great.

I wouldn't mind painting a car for sparkie, but that file is a car file, and not a template. If I put numbers and contingency stickers on it, it's gonna look like sh*t. Sparkie, I'll look around for a bit and see if I can find a similar template in a layered format taht I can use, and try to get it up before the race.

I'm also going to take a shot in the dark and guess that you want the same black base and red numbers? I'm not sure how welll the red numbers will show up in front of the flames, so I might use a diff color.
You didn't have a "sponsor" before, but I have an idea for one that I was wanting to make a car for, and would fit well with the black base and flames.

It's not fantastic, but I couldn't spend the time on it that I wanted to. I'll upload it to nascarnet for everyone to use in tonight's race if you wish, and will fine tune details per your requests. Once I get it like you want it, I will re-submit for next week's race. I'll be right back with the nascarnet link...

I matched the colors and replaced the contingency stickers, as well as putting your name on the roof and numbers on the nose and rear bumper. If you would rather have this one, I can edit the nascarnet file with the new version. I also just realised when loading the .tga in the game that your original car was a dodge. If you wish, I can put this on a dodge instead.

No Chevy is great. tried a a dodge because Norm runs dodges and I am a chevy guy.. if I had that race car at daytona jump I would have had you LOLOL.
I think it's done.. it's perfect.. I liked the first one the second one is even better.. the yellow numbers really make it POP.. the more I look at it the more I like it. that is one fat ride.
it's a awsome looking race car.. I'd like to have it. your the man.
thank you I owe you BIG TIME.

bah, tis nothing. You don't owe me a thing. I like painting cars. I must admit, however, there's one minor flaw, depending on the point of view. I misspelled your name. I always overlook details like that. (the k is missing. should be -okc. sorry) Probably wouldn't have noticed, or wouldn't have said, but I bring it up so there's no letdown a few weeks down the road when someone does notice. (if they haven't already.) Anyway, your new link: I created a different carfile for this one, so you shouldn't be prompted to overwrite anything when you unzip it, unless I have magically picked a filename you are already using. (It'd be just my luck) If so, let me know and I can edit the filename at nascarnet. I didn't do a pit crew, but when I do I can send that directly to you and have you import yourself rather than re-creating a carfile. People should still be able to see it. Oh, and you did get me at Daytona, I just got lucky and held on to it. It was a great hit. Any other time, and I'd have been a goner.

thanks Db.. I noticed the missing K.. and decided it was cool with me.. I doubt anyone would notice anyway. I still want to thank you.
as far as this dodge thing goes... it's Norms servers..he drives a dodge his set up I figured was for dodges..because I wasn't as fast as everyone else when I first logged on.. so I tryed a dodge.. Now that I have ran the tracks a few times I have figured the line differnce between Highgrip tracks and regular tracks and now the type of car isn't a huge factor. but I think Mr Norm should unplug tonite and go upstairs and molest momma LOLOLOLOL

while waiting on a response from HeadRush this evening, I fixed a few things on your car, like the name, adding some lightning to match zappers car, and changed teh text on the rear from red to yellow so it can be seen better: If you want this, I'll re-upload it for you. Eventually, I'll get around to doing pitcrews for you guys as well.

Yes.. I'd like to save that car for season 4 if possiable the one I am running now is kewl.. this "new edition" is really good looking car.. I like the yellow letters on the back . and the lighting "tie" me and zappers together as far as car paint jobs go.
Thanks
You The Man.

I was going to tell you that it was ready for download, but I did it bass-ackwards and re-wrote the wrong file. I'll fix it when I get home this afternoon and upload it.

Thanks DB for the update.. it looks wicked.
the car without the lighting is my current league and sunday thru friday car..
the car with the lighting will be my season 4 car if I make the sign up on time or if I am allowed to join... if I get to run the iroc race I'll use the lighting car there.

I have stressed about this since yesturday... dude, chill. Don't stress over something like that. I don't want you to feel obligated to keeping that car. If you see a car you'd rather have, or want to see what someone can do for you, by all means DO IT! Everybody eventually grows tired of their paintjobs. (That's why I have five of my own). I never have, nor ever will, expect you to keep that car "forever". Nor do I expect to become "the" painter around here. Besides, if I were to expect every paint request to come to me, I would be turning away members who might be interested in getting more involved with the wrecker server. There's talent on the boards here. Fish, for instance, does some great schemes, and Norm is great with illusion objects, like foglamps, headlights, chromeillusion, etc. I'm new to this. Every time I paint a car, I find a new "trick" for doing something. I'm sure there are better painters lurking around these boards somewehre. So by all means, if you want to use somebody else's paint, please do so!

I didn't want you to think that the car you gave me wasn't good enough or I didn't like something about it. it's a great car..I really like it. I guess I should have Im'd you about it and talked to you before I posted. I guess I worried about something I shouldn't have. I just didn't want to upset anyone or for anyone to think I didn't appericate what you did for me and zappers. it just amazes me How you guys take time out to help out someone else.
