So it's been a bit, and I have cycled through several project ideas, few of which I have kept to. But now I'm back on NNC07 with 2005 cars, now with shiny new 2048x2048 templates.
I will preface this by making something clear up front, these are NOT meant to be 100% accurate unlike my previous projects. I started this long trek due to me wanting a full field for my Mock Season I have been slowly chipping away at for the past 3 or so years after many false starts, redos, and cancellations.
But I realized that trying to be 100% accurate was hurting my progress and burning me out, as was my rapid changing around of mods, years, etc. My pursuit of perfection had gotten in the way of actually making progress on the end goal, the Mock Season itself, so I'm making a few alterations to this project.
1. No race accurate grills/tapes. These cars are meant to be somewhat generic and interchangable.
2. A few missing logos, and compromises are OK. It is more important for the Mock Season project that I can fill the field rather than chase perfection. Doesn't mean I won't put in any effort, but certain things on part time/one off cars and small teams will be brushed aside in the name of progress.
3. No "special" schemes, or atleast very few. These include movie and video game tie in promotions. If they are easy to do or a slight alterication of an existing scheme, they will be considered, but no M&Ms Star Wars cars or 2005 Batman/Superhero cars.
4. There WILL be fictious rides, and driver/paintscheme/number/sponsor combos that are innacurate, as again, my priority is having a field of cars to race rather than a race by race pixel perfect archive.
So with that out of the way, here are the first Busch cars of this new project.
Frank Cici Racing - Chevrolet
#34 Dollar General - Randy Lajoie/Todd Bodine
This is the primary car for the team, will primarily be ran by Randy Lajoie but as in real life, Bodine will likely get some starts later in the year.
#84 Dollar General - Randy Lajoie/Todd Bodine
A second car for the team, IRL it only ran Bristol, but performance of the #34 pending, might run anywhere from 5 to 7 events.
