The Driver Suit Blog-Mark Martin-1988

By David G. Firestone The Ageless Wonder Mark Martin sits next to his brand new Stroh Light Ford Thunderbird in 1988. The Stroh Light Thunderbird is a very simple, yet very effective design. Dark blue, a really good shade by the way, is used over the whole car. White lettering is very visible on the […]

The Driver Suit Blog-My Thoughts on Easter, Stories, and Losing a Friend

By David G. Firestone I’ve been thinking about a few things this week. Being Jewish on Easter is really, REALLY boring. There is nothing to do for the whole day. I decided to adjust a few of the display cases in The Hauler, while Spring Training Baseball played in the background. As I moved these […]

The Driver Suit Blog-When is a Paint Scheme Not a Paint Scheme?

By David G. Firestone Although the commonly used term is “paint scheme,” paint rarely, if ever is used on the sides of cars. What is used is vinyl wrap. The schemes are printed on vinyl, and then applied to the car. This saves time, and weight. It also makes the complex schemes of today possible. […]

Throwback Thursday-Ken Schrader-1987

By David G. Firestone Ken Schrader takes his 1987 Red Baron Ford Thunderbird out for a Sunday Drive. Red, white, and black is a good color scheme. The door numbers would work much better rounded than square. The Red Baron logo curving over the wheel well looks really good. The white under the door numbers […]

The Driver Suit Blog-My Thoughts on the 2016 Racing Season

By David G. Firestone I’ve been holding back a bit with this post for a number of reasons. I wasn’t feeling too good last Monday, so I didn’t get around to it until this week. I also waited until the beginning of the F1 and IndyCar seasons as well. Not that all of that is […]
