Chassis Development and Customization

can with dyed vinyl you guys know pretty well by now that I'm relating to the details and I'm always questioning things even the littlest things like paint being metallic versus not metallic a lot of you know we use Pennzoil and one of my favorite paint schemes is this Dei Steve Park one here and all the die casts I have of this have this really cool metallic yellow on there it's just got this different look to it but the Kevin Harvick pencil car doesn't and I know the real car does not have metallic in it either because these things are usually pretty accurate we saw the car in person and that color yellow that metallic yellow over the whole car is just so good looking I wanted to figure out what it was called did some research on the internet couldn't figure out anything I called Michael Thomas who's been working at Pennzoil since the 80s I figured if anybody knows he's gonna know and he had all kinds of interesting stuff to tell me about it I know you guys are familiar with this car but do you remember the Nismo GTR from Gran Turismo same color yellow Indy car same color yellow top fuel car same color yellow they were super picky about their yellow across the board only thing he knows about it is that it was Pennzoil yellow and it was a proprietary pigment that they had any of the Pennzoil sponsored cars in the late 90s early 2000s were probably painted in pencil yellow just like these die casts are because to care about the details not only do we love it but the people who work there are some of the most passionate about their own history within Motorsports that we have found basically anywhere so next time you're at the parts store looking for stuff to do an oil change give Pen's a little shot were you uh disappointed whenever Miller wanted to do the light and change the colors around see white and blue instead of not as much as when I look at when I look back at it right now I mean this thing was so iconic the color it was so cool and and then when they said hey let's do the Middle Light car I'm like okay man we'll do the Miller Lite car that's that's a cool deal because everybody knows Miller Lite let's say you erase it you do that and then now I look back at it I go man this car was so much cooler than you know but everybody knew the blue Deuce they knew all those colors I get it but man this thing was just so hot I just love the colors did you like it better as a Pontiac or a Ford oh that's a good question with a Pontiac I won I'll remember 93 we…
