Wrapping My Former NASCAR Busch Series Monte Carlo! 2003 Kevin Harvick Inspired Tribute Scheme

[@AutoRacingNR2003]

11:26 The color makes me think of one of DEI's first cars from 1996, the racing for kids 14 car that robby gordon and jeff green drove

[@falappisgarage_yt]

If there's ever merch made of this car like a shirt or a hoodie, I'd buy it 1000%. One slick looking car that rivals the looks of most "real" paint schemes in nascar and other places

Project idea for you, video/list the heritage of all the Nascar numbers used in Cup then after maybe BGN from the start to today? Like it or not, you and Logan are the "Unofficial History Keepers" of all of motorsports !

You are allowed to be super picky, but just know, that wrap turned out BADASS!!! And Logan's effort is incredible! Nice to see her with both hands again!

[@rdaws73]

Harvicks 2003-2006 scheme is so iconic. One of the best schemes ever IMO.

[@damoncuccia788]

Everything you said about testing gaining familiarity with the car before the first race at the start of the season is the logical and smart way imo to approach it. BTW, you also knocked it out of the park on the look of that car. seen some of the pictures from those races and your car will defiantly stand out and be the best looking car out there. Look forward to seeing how you fair with the racing as well as more videos from you and Logan.

[@stapleton42extra]

thanks man I agree. most of them don't put any effort into the way it looks

[@travisshephard5491]

Man you teased us a few videos back with a glimpse of the wrap. It looks freaking awesome! Can't wait to see it in the sun. I had no idea there was vinyl that would allow air to vent through it. Learn something new every day. This car is really coming together. Thanks for your hard work in finding the time to make these videos.

[@stapleton42extra]

Thanks travis!

[@HammerPowered]

That color scheme is great...love the look of the car and its nod to both the Escalade (the teal color) and the #29 car. And such a smart call to do your offseason testing and getting familiar with the car before you race it. I've got projects I've rushed out there for different things and they just weren't finished to my satisfaction or to the best they could have been - and that's just "look fancy" stuff, not go-fast stuff.

[@michaelmyboy3199]

I've seen a bunch of time lapse videos of the wrap process. They leave Soooooo many unanswered questions. This video was great! The car came out awesome!!! Can't wait for the merch!!!

[@stapleton42extra]

Much appreciated!

[@sbcbuilder4279]

What a informative video on how much work goes into the "wrap". Keep these kind of videos coming. People need to know how much planning and work goes into this entire process. Yes get used to the car. I was the engine builder for a CASCAR team between 1993 - 1998. We did not have big sponsors. The owner of the car owned a body shop, we were lucky that the track had testing days where you could test the car. I just put a spare engine in the car. We did this to get the chassis sorted out first. Get the car to handle first and then put the race engine in, that way you have a base to work from. We had no computers, only a clip board and every change was written down including comments made by the driver after each change. By doing this before hand we knew that "off the trailer" we could be competitive. This progress is going to be fun to watch.

[@stapleton42extra]

thats awesome lol thanks man!

[@c.johnweir182]

I love all the stuff that you're doing and I wouldn't mind seeing Logan tear apart her car and put it back together. You found yourself a gem. I love that you're being very supportive of your significant other. 💯💯💯💯 I would love to see more of your race car when you do testing with the car.

[@stapleton42extra]

thanks man! we will definitely do videos when we go testing!

[@BrianMoylan-sq2bt]

Thanks Logan and Mitchell , good update , great progress on both the racecar and the mustang . The wrap on screen looks like Petty blue from some angles

[@mistertheking]

I haven't even watched 30 seconds, but I've waited MONTHS for this! Great to see this done. Edit: Just watched it through, love the choice of the scheme, and the detail around the spikes on the #42 is absolutely perfect. Love how it cuts correctly. Lesser designers would've just used the original base made for the #29, whoever did your graphics deserves a raise. Also love your own attention to detail on it. The blue base wrap gives me strong vibes to the car Kevin ran in the shootout in 2003 that was red with black numbers.

[@stapleton42extra]

You have a great eye! The color scheme was referenced from the red shootout car with my teal swapped for the red! Also the number cuts to match the 42...I worked with Brian on that to make sure it was perfect. He had it nailed down after only a couple revisions. When people do a throwback to that scheme they never do that part correctly and almost never replicate the scheme with total accuracy. I wanted to make sure I did.

[@jasonfields2798]

The patience that takes to wrap a car I couldn't do it by myself that's for sure I have helped wrap a few and it wore me out hats off to those guys who are pros

[@stapleton42extra]

a racecar like this isn't too bad. A street car with doors and handles SUCKS. Doing the escalade took a long ass time lol

[@mrmbr]

Great to see the stang progress... And you supporting Logan unselfishly 😊

[@benmartin1923]

This is amazing! As a model builder I'm used to butting out individual decals and what not besides the Vermillion decals for the SalvinosJr Petty models. I've watched videos of teams doing this but this video is the most in depth. Great looking cars I miss those and the 90s luminas!!

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

You must be so stoked seeing this car get wrapped! I'd be staying up all night starting at it, it looks amazing!

[@Jake-yx7ct]

The wrap looks great. Thanks for sharing. I never watched the process before. I like your effort to help Logan with her Mustang time. That's a basis for a great friendship. Have a great Thanksgiving.

[@stapleton42extra]

Thank you sir

[@ricknorris6943corvair]

The vinyl wrap deal is interesting. As usual the product continues to improve and the sticky issues are resolved by the manufacturer. Watching a pro work is always educational, no substitute for experience. Your plan for racing is solid, learn the car and practice. Every time you turn a lap you gain experience. I began by autocrossing many years ago. Then I began doing timed track events in cars I built. I attended an SCCA racing school to get my ticket and began vintage racing my Corvair's. That first actual race on track (At Road Atlanta) with all the other cars was eye opening, especially getting used to traveling at high speeds with a bunch of other cars just inches off your car and hoping they knew what they were doing which, as I discovered was not always the case. Having a faithful partner is also key. If it were not for my wife I could not have done what I did. Looking forward to seeing you on track with your stocker.

[@stapleton42extra]

thanks man that is a great point. The other cars at speed thing is what the average folk do not understand about racing. It is like a hornets nest out there when you are actually in the car.

[@ChrisJohnston-w8j]

Many years ago, when I was working in the cup series, the team had me take a car to Hollywood for a movie premiere. The next day, I had to meet up with people from Disney and other studios and talk to them about the car and the function of any components they had questions about for the movie and sketches they was drawing on the backside of a hotel parking lot. After that was completed, me and one other person had to wrap the car in the primary paint scheme in 25 mph win. And back then, wraps weren't as forgiven as I'm sure they are now. Once again, great video, content, and the car look great. Can't wait to see what kind of contingency stickers you add for the finishing touches.

[@johnmorgan4921]

That was great and the car looks fantastic! I can't wait to see you hit the track and do a shakedown and get to know it. You guys keep up the good work, Cheers!

[@stapleton42extra]

thank you John!!

[@lukearnold23]

Hi Mitchell and Logan, You kids just need to do whatever keeps the money coming in, If it's Nascar history, so be it. No one else covers it like you can. The subs will either accept it or sadly run away. I'll be here no matter what. I loved the drag racing side but I understand your reasoning. It's very impressive to see Logan just dive in head first to whatever the current project is, without your help ( well, maybe muscles if needed ). And she takes a gentle guidance if warranted. We learn from our mistakes. Cheers, Mark

Don't drive yourself insane with the crazy details on the wrap. She's not gonna look that way after your first event 😂. Looks badass. It's hard to appreciate how beautiful fresh stockcars look unless you see them in person. Do as much testing as you can with this. You'll find out as your learning to race around others, racing around new(er) guys not familiar with their rig will put you on the trailer early.
