I got home in time to use some of the very rare sunshine we had today and got my birthday presents out for a portrait session. Here's the first one through the lens, a first generation Monte Carlo stock car. Another fine ride from Jackie Sims Race Cars. Photobucket

Sorry to have to break the news to you, but that set ran out the end of one of Gator's magic brushes. I've got a DVD in the works that shows my whole collection that I hope to also have a "how to" on hand lettering from prepping the brushes to chosing and mixing the paint to actually doing the lettering. I'll keep you posted on the progress.

have you ever tried lifting the image you want off a picture then redigitalizing it then transferring it back on to transparent film not easy and time consuming but its a way another way is take image to decal shop on disk and have them cut it thats expensive though

Thanks RIck. Me and my brother have been at this for a combined total of around eighty years and it's still fun. We both started building and handlettering local dirt cars (I had been building all kinds of models for over ten years by then) around in the late sixties and we haven't stopped yet.We both cast our own wheels and tires and he has even built a two stage vacuform to make just about any kind of body you can think of, from dirt wedge cars to late model sportsman Chevelles and early fifties hobby stocks. You should check out his photo galleries at http://public.fotki.com/gator-gallery/ He's a true artist and the best kid brother anyone ever had.
