You would like that.

They are stupid expensive unless you find a junkyard one.

That's definitely a set up similar to what JuniorCar Brent did to his 04 Dale Jr edition. The three is close, but just not 100% there. Very difficult to get right. I remember Brent saying that the 8 and the DEI stripes had to be re-done many times before they were perfect.

The 04 Intimidator and Dale Jr editions were not the only ones to be supercharged. Don't forget the 2005 Tony Stewart edition. It was supercharged too.

I dont now if anyone is going to know this, but ill give it a shot anyway. What is the RPO code on the '02 dale commemorative car ground effects kit? The sooner I can get the info, the better.
Thanks in advance,
David

Definitely a clone. The "3" by the small glass area behind the doors is incorrect. The real Earnhardt "3" leans forward. You can tell its fake because the 3s on that car lean back. That clone package can actually be purchased at a dealer. I asked about it one time a few years ago and he pulled it right up on the computer.

I should add that Dustybird3 (Becky) owns one of the 2002 Earnhardt Monte's. Check out her photogallery for more pics of the real deal.

Every picture I've seen of Dale's real race car, the 3 leans toward the front of the car on both sides. So the passenger side leans the opposite way from the driver side. Dale Jr's #8 was the same way.
