hemiman_1999 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Hello everyone I have followed this string and choosen not to add to it but I did want to let everyone here know I am no longer involved in anyway with Rick Lucas or Decals By Lucas. I was not an owner in the business I am the one that did almost all of the art work for the decals I still own my art work and the permission from the various people was given to me and I gave it to Rick. Rick Lucas was my friend for 25 years and I am very sad at losing my friendship with him. He has had some very difficult times this past 2 years and my wish is he will somehow get through them and return to the person he once was. I have had nothing to do with him since July 1st I am posting this because I still get emails from people that want product or money from Rick I do not know his current status or location nor the business status. I hope all of you get satisfaction either your money or a usable product. Best of Luck to You and Happy Holidays.

Alan Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 Bruce, Glad you stepped in to shed a little light on the situation for the folks that have been left hanging ......... Alan
DrKerry Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 Hey Bruce, I thought of saying something about you not being part of this. I just didn't want to say to much about it. I know Rick is having tough times right now, I don't know all of the details but I am hopeful he'll get his life back on track!!!! Take care Bruce, Merry Christmas!!!
Big Daddy Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Well after months of trying to get my decals that have been paid for i finally received a nasty email from him today, also noticed his site is shut down which is good that way nobody else will get ripped off by him
Big Daddy Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Did you get your money or decals? ah no i didn't , and he said i wasn't getting anything and said he didn't care what people thought of him he was going to sell at swap meets etc,
caine440 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) WOW! That is unreal. Maybe karma will catch up to him at one of those swap meets in the form of angry on line buyer he stole from. Edited January 7, 2013 by caine440
Alan Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Lets hope so, that is totally WRONG! Edited January 7, 2013 by Alan
John Pol Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 Well I never got my decals ever and people like that makes alot of to wonder if we can trust anybody anymore and it is really hurting the hobby John Pol
michaelbaskett Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Tried to e-mail him today and it just bounces back.... His phone contact number no longer works either... Edited January 10, 2013 by michaelbaskett

afxmustang Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 I see the web site is still up. Any updates on this situation?
Casey Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 I think Alan from Whoopie Kat took over/acquired the Decals by Lucas artwork and will be producing some of the DbL sheets, but he never posted a confirmation in this topic when asked, so you'll have to ask Alan directly: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=73531&hl=%2Blucas+%2Bdecals#entry918748
57peppershaker Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 I noticed that the Decals by Lucas site is up & running today, thought it had been closed ? Has he or somebody else taken it over & trading again ?
Casey Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 See here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=73531&hl=lucas#entry918748 I don't think Alan posted an update of a formal confirmation that he is or has indeed taken over the line, so I will leave that up to him, or you can send Alan a PM and ask directly.
Alan Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 I have no idea what Rick Lucas is doing, but Bruce (the owner of and who is in possession of the files) and I are indeed collaborating and in time will be bringing the decals back. Please be patient, I will keep posting updates as they happen. Alan
booboo60 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Here Is a Great Site for Decals, This guy has Super Stock cars, Pro Stock, and Others from the 60's,70's and older stock decals for the cars from the 30's on up, Give him a Looks, I found the 1/16 scale Rod Shop Corvette in a 1/25 SCALE,, Unreal,,Its called Decals By Lucas. www.decalsbylucas.com
chadrob30 Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 LOL Booboo60, I think you need to read this entire thread...
booboo60 Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Rick Is Back up and running, He went thru a divorce and his artiest ripped him off, and took off, his ex also took his printer and stock, It took him about a year too get his Equipment back, I have gotten 2 sets from him and they are great, Heck his ex wife was getting orders and cashing them, but not telling Rick about them!!!
dimaxion Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 The big D ; Been there , done that . ............
caine440 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 If any of that were true all he had to do was answer the many emails he got from the customers that lost money, (myself included). Not only did he ignore mine he sent rude replies to others. Sorry, Not buying it.
chadrob30 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 LOL...I guess in his defense it COULD have been his ex old lady responding....but I doubt it.
Big Daddy Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 well back in business or not I won't deal with him again as most know by reading previous posts I was one that he screwed , there are so many out there doing decals now, i'll stick to scale replicas and there is another guy on facebook that will make pretty much any thing you want
