About this Custom Number paint

The score sheet says Bill Schmitt started in 16th position on the grid of The Goodyear 500 at the Calder Park Thunderdome in Febuary 1988 and retired on lap 31 with a blown engine . Bill was more than that . Bill Schmitt (February 13, 1936 - November 8, 2014) was a NASCAR driver from Redding, CA who won an amazing four #NASCAR Winston West Series Championships; winning in 1977, 1979, 1989 and 1990. In 236 races, this driver could boast 21 wins, with 123 top-five finishes. Schmitt also participated in 44 Cup races. He was the winner of the first NASCAR sanctioned race outside of the United States winning a 500-lapper at Calgary, Alberta Canada. Schmitt was inducted into the Gatorade Circle of Champions in 1989. I had only ever seen photos of this car during practice without all the decals and Coca Cola sponsorship until recently . This is how this car appeared on race day right down the the new Coke logo with the 2 tone ribbon and "Coke" added underneath Coca-Cola which appeared in 1987 which was on the Hood and rear deck lid . #ScanTheThunderdome
