   Auto pinstripe tape works good as long as you don't allow it to "set", once that happens it will peel the paint off with it! Since i still have it around anyway, I use Oracal 651 sign vinyl and a 3m tape slicer. I can cut a width from 1/32" to 2" as long as i want it. Kinda nice to still have some of the old sign and body shop tools lying around! i;ve never had a residue problem with blue painters tape though

   If u have a walmart nearby they sell a product called GOOF OFF, yellow spray can or small squeeze bottle, in the house paint section. I use it on 1:1 vehicle to remove vinyl lettering glue. Doesn't hurt the paint, but u may want to test it on some scrap plastic first. Just need a dab on a rag.

   Bill, Nikola is claiming 600-1000 miles before recharge, with a spare battery on board, but apparently recharge stations are just a concept in someone's head at the moment! You can read the online version at overdrivemag.com    And Richard, i cant go a half mile in my town without seeing a cop! 9000 people, 24 city cops, 12 deputies, 2 constables and 5 state troopers, one of which lives next door and writes about 15 tickets a day to stupid drivers! lol

   On the electric theme, an article in the new Overdrive says that Nikola already has orders for 8000 class 8 electric semi's, with Fitzgerald Glider Kits contracted to build the first 5000 units, with delivery of the first trucks in 2020. Supposed to put out 1000 hp & 2000 ft lbs of torgue. Ryder will be the contracted maintenance facility. On another note, Texas passed house bill 2205 in May which will allow driverless vehicles on it's highways starting Sept. 1st

    signguy2108 added a post in a topic Large kit/promo collection going up for auction - low opening bids    8 July

    Some nice stuff, but the opening bid doesn't really mean a thing, its that last bid at 10 minutes before the end that sends it off into oblivion! I've followed trucks on govdeals.com that stay at 1000 dollars for days, then jump to 15,0000 just  a few minutes before closing. Might be fun to watch though
