#28 Cale Yarborough Hardee's Ford Thunderbird

Cale Yarborough was a three time NASCAR champ and winner of 83 events. So for one of my first non Bill Elliott cars I decided to take the basic custom '85 Thunderbird grill work and Ford logo to recreate his old Hardee's #28. He actually put on some good runs against Awesome Bill that year, and I think he may be one of the more underrated legends of the sport, if one could be a legend and underrated at the same time. His fight in the 78 Daytona 500 gets all the highlights, when his performance on track and personality off track was arguably more interesting. Either way, this car isn't very hard to replicate in-game at all. Give it a shot, if you want to pay tribute to one of NASCAR's greats.



Just remember to include the black line in the transition between the red hood and white body, as well as the slight point there in the center of the hood.
