    Does anyone make decals for the NASCAR #8 Daytona winning car driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr. This would be Budweiser decals with the born on date decal for the hood.

    Are these it?

    If so, they are available at Pattos Place. They are available in multiple scales, but not 1/25. I've bought from him 1 time and was extremely pleased with his service. It took 2 weeks from the time I placed my order until they were in my mailbox. Australia to Virginia.

    To me, the '70 Cougar is distinct enough to not get lost in a sea of AMT '69 Cougars.  Being absent for +/- 50 years might be a draw as well.

    I'd definitely be interested in one or two of those '71 Cyclones you posted. 

    I would definitely buy at least one each of a '70 Cougar and the '71  Cyclone.

    EDIT: And a female talking about being "coat dependent".

    You can't make this stuff up.

     

    Well, it was a woman talking. She's probably literally "coat dependent". I've yet to meet a woman that doesn't wear a coat when the temperature drops below 80F. My wife looks like Kenny from South Park when the temperature drops into the 70s.

    Restomod is a vintage body with modern upgrades for comfort, reliability, handling. Not look like a racecar, no roll cages. Maybe subtle roll bar OK.

    This was the definition in the beginning. Now, as with everything else today it seems, the definition has been changed to whatever someone wants it to be.

    I ordered some items from a company that I have bought from before and received excellent service, per usual. I placed my order and received my order confirmation email and shipped notice at 3:13pm and 3:43pm yesterday. Today at 1:34pm I received my order. I had my items less than 24 hours after placing the order. This was from NC to Va. Shipped via UPS. 

    What Irked You Today?

    Today's irk is finding that dads personal toiletries that I bought for him to use while he is hospitalized are now missing since they moved him from one room to another. He says that someone threw them out because they said he didn't need them. I asked the nurses who are caring for him about the whereabouts but no one seems to know..😡 I'm hoping its a mix up and they are sitting somewhere. If not..🤔 it's time to to do a little venting.. Boy I could use someone to take all this stress out on.. 😆 BTW dad will be coming home tomorrow (sat). I was up last night till 2:30am breaking down the antique bed and cleaning my moms old room to be ready for the in-home hospice bed coming today. The bedroom move is so dad will be closer to the main bathroom and kitchen instead of way down the hall farthest away. At least the bleeding has stopped. Still don't know the cause and probably never will due to his aorta slowly closing up. Better days ahead? I hope but I have my reservations. I'm just glad he'll be at home for Christmas. 

    I'm glad to hear that your dad will be home for Christmas, but sorry to hear about his items going missing. Unfortunately, thievery of these types of items is common place in hospitals. My wife has been a nurse for 15+ years and she is constantly telling me about patient's personal items disappearing. She works at a VA hospital and it's usually someone on the cleaning crew that is doing the stealing. It's a shame that a hospital that is staffed over 50% with veterans is stealing from sick veterans. 

    My prayers to your dad and your family.

    The Official 3D Printing Discussion Thread

    Not yet. I like the Chitubox interface, so was hoping for a solution within. But another slicer is on my list of things to investigate today.

    I've used 3D builder to split files that were too large for my old printer, but haven't explored it much further. Can it do slicing?

     

    I'm sorry, I should have explained why I asked you about 3D Builder. I guess that's what happens when I post something when I should be working. 

    I always load my files into 3D Builder before trying to print in order to make sure that everything is okay. If you load up a file and there is a red box around it then there is a problem that might affect printing. 3D Builder will then attempt to fix it. So I was just wondering if you had tried that to see if everything was fine with the file. Please forgive me if I am telling you something that you already know.
