Anything to help a fellow IQuestor... :)

If you are talking about the car that you drive, all you have to do is go into the paintkit and
click on EXPORT.  That will create a file called NASC94.PCX in the NASCAR root directory.  Then
bring up the paintkit for the new subdirectory, such as PAINTKIT CRDYCARS.  Go to the second car
-- the first after the pace car -- select it, then click on IMPORT.  That will bring your car up.

If you want to import another car than the one you drive, you have to make sure the file you are
importing has the same name as the spot you want to import it to.  The easiest way to check is to
go to the car you want to replace and export it.  That will create a xxxxxx.PCX file.  Make a
copy of it with a different name, then delete the file.  Rename the PCX file you want to import
to the name of the deleted file, then go back to the paintkit and the car you want, then IMPORT
the new file.

Very simple, very easy... :)
