I put a photo video together, it did have music..but youtube pulled it. I hope you like, there will be two more videos soon as I have time to make them :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB1xYzEwvCE

I'm with you Bill, I will dream for now. I want that F100 and some other kits he has....but they will cost a bit. I want the new Merc body with Buick hood and grille too!

I know....it can't hurt to try it, up to you.

yeah you can paint them, they are plastic.

try electrical heat "shrink" tubing. it comes in different sizes and when you put a little heat to it, it shrinks and conforms to whatever it's on.

boy this is looking sharp! beautiful paint and the wheels are just right on her! stance looks fine to me, I don't think placing an "era" on it is that important....seeing it could be a car from today that looks just like that. In my opinion it's looking "traditional" and I like that.

thanks for sharing Billy, nice photos!

I wonder if there will be 100 of these in "under glass" section like every other new release?

Ok thanks. Man it looks good! If I could run into the guy on the internet , I would love to see what else he builds.

I assume the show was in Texas? Lot's of nice pics thanks for sharing! The one that stood out to me was this Chevy........any idea who built it? It looks really nice so I would like to see more of it.

my first job, age 15 i got a ride home from a co-worker in that thing everynight! it was jacked up on air shocks and the front almost scraped the ground, i felt like i was going to slide under the dash! he had a mullet and it wasn't until YEARS later that I heard about the "camaro mullet". brings back memories....

Jon, that's right....at the moment the orders would help him get his printer fixed and when it's fixed, he would be able to ship your decals. It's not my deal.....it's not promotion for me at all, I am just trying to help a guy stay in business. Your decision doesn't affect me. However, though it should only take 4-6 weeks to get your decals IF ya ordered them from him.... You can still order some of them from Model Express (in stock). This still helps him out a little also. http://www.modelexpress.net/ Hope that helps you out.

sorry didn't see all the replies , thanks everyone! makes me feel good knowing others enjoyed it!

shhhh....don't want them guys to figure me out

it's all open now, interior too!

Just trying to help

I like my bottle!

Yeah, but I am speaking "rattle cans" here lol If you airbrush...you will get a better result most of the time.

Not trying to be obtuse to Anthony, but you can get a first rate shine out of cheap clear too. I almost exclusively use Dupli Color clears on every build. I also use a Black Gold polishing kit with 1:1 KIT Carnauba wax. By the time I have gone through the polishing cloth's, the clear coat actually looks like glass.....then I put the wax on to "bring it out". this one I did with Krylon Crystal Clear Glaze this is BEFORE any polish So with that said, you can do it without spending a lot of money....just gonna take a little patience and good ole' elbow grease.

Boy all the hugging and kissing is making it difficult to pay attention to those machined parts! Bob is the best....that's the end of the story.

you are good Tom! I would rub through the paint, I have to use clear to protect myself haha!

you don't use clear on anything? you rattle can or air brush?

Points taken guys. Keven said he barely got to use the printer and it broke down. I discussed the possibility and definate possibility that he may have worn it out... He said he didn't print that many, so I have to take his word on that. We all know ALPS printers break down with little use. Kinda sucks when ya think about it, my Brother will keep going as long as I put ink in it and it didn't cost $100.....let alone $900! The main reason I think the cost difference is mine won't print "white" or "metallics". I see your points about the customer being relied on in order to get it back up again. The thing I ask you to consider is, he did ask if he should stay open....that if he did, he would ask everyone's understanding that it will take 4-6 weeks before they got their orders due to the fact he has to ship the printer etc etc.... He is not asking everyone to pay his way back into business. He just got the slap we all felt from the decline in our economy..... I took it upon myself to put this notice up, he didn't ask me to do it. I am just that kind of guy....I will do what I can to help keep things alive in this hobby. Without Whoopie Kat......the decals he makes will be gone, unless another person steps up. I am sure most of you remember the companies we "used to have".....They either retired or quit because they could not afford to keep going. All I ask is for you to email him and give him thoughts and if you are willing to wait for your order while his printer is in the "air"....then make an order, but it's not necessary for anyone to get him back up....only if you care to keep it running. Up to you.... thanks again for the replies.

David, I think you read that wrong. Whoopie Kat is not making enough to live on......I was talking about "for example" of Gooche Decals when I was his web master. I know for a fact how much he made....and he didn't get stuck with broken printers too often, because he had a few of them as backups. Between selling on the site and ebay sales.....it was as much as my wife makes a year full time job for $22 an hour. Not everyone can do that though and I am not insinuating that Keven is doing it. He said he doesn't make enough at it to live off of and "prints them as they are ordered".....never anything in stock, which is good.....always fresh decals for each order! Thanks again for your reply.

Yeah you can still get parts and ink and printers, but as you found out....it's expensive. Actually Keven told me he just got his printer not that long ago and it did cost him $900....now the problem is , it's still under warranty and he has to pay shipping back across seas. The cost for shipping is HIGH...We aren't talking $30.....it's much more than that. The economy slowed his business down to the point he could not afford to ship it off for repair....now the mission is to help him get orders again to get it shipped off , while his friend prints for him. I think he's an honest guy, I just don't want to see another one of "us" lose a business that helps "us" out. I didn't know you made decals before? I used to be Gooche web master and I had access to everything in order to run his site. I know how much can be made doing decals......a person can live off of it if you have what people want etc etc.... Thanks for your replies and orders if you have made any.
