Two questions
1.) I have been trying to make a my own cars using the Paintkit program. I am
having trouble with the fonts.. I only am able to use the same font, which is
too big for on the cars. Should i be able to change she size of the font and
how??

2.) Does anyone have any car files that they made up..
i.e. Earnhart, Waltrip, Bonnett

Thanks, for any help...

I am having the very same problem with the paintkit program. It says in my
manual to click on the left and right arrow keys to change the fonts but it
never changes. The letters are too small for good car numbers and way too big
for text.

I have made Dale Earhardt as I am sure some others have. I went in to the
drivers2.txt files and made him pretty darn good. He's at the front of the
pack for most races unless I bump him into the walls. ;) (did I do that?)
Anyway, I am pretty good at making cars so if you want me to post an encoded
.pcx file I can do it.

Hopefully someone can tell us why the fonts won't change because my jet black
Kenwood car is just waiting to hit the track ... if I could fit Kenwood on the
side. :)

I think that's because there's only one font. Perhaps in expansion packs
there will be other fonts.

There is a good car set already out at didnt.doit.wisc.edu called
NASCAR94.ZIP with a few of the '94 cars. I myself am working on the '95
cars, and so far have #3 Goodwrench, #17 Western Auto, #10 Tide, #25
Budweiser, and am working on the #94 McDonalds and #42 Coors Light. I've
also tweeked the #1, #2, and #33 to reflect their tobacco/*** sponsors.

My set won't be available until around Christmas, though, so if you're
impatient, get the other set.
