  • Orange Arrow Tampo Experiment - Bob Rosas and a couple guys in his shop were testing out a tampo machine and how they could add this extra center stripe.. They pulled "10 or 12" brand new Breakaway Buckets to experiment with. The experiment didn't go so well. They had a hard time getting the stripes centered in the middle of the available blue area that you see on the production car. The idea was then scrapped.
