Beautiful car in so many ways! Looks fast too. Thanks! Race is tomorrow and we just finished assembling today. He wanted to test it. I told him a long time ago that if we were going to test it we would need to work on it sooner. The Racing shop is not open today. Unless we get a flat tire I think will do OK for the pack race.

That's a great looking car Micro, let us know how it performs.
Is that printed on a mailing lable? Or did you find vinyl with that design already on it?

I have my son pick out the picture and then I manipulate it in Microsoft Word to get it to the correct size.

Maybe some adhesive spray on the back would get it to stick.

I have used an adhesive spray before and it works well (adds more weight though) For this one I just used packing tape on the front and the silver tape on the back. There is a gap along the edges that could be sealed better. We may add fenders to it for council race and so I am just being lazy and making it easier to alter later if need be.

Can you imagine the poor fellas that would have to go up against the likes of Micro and LB? LOL!!! It would be enough to drive them away from the hobby at blistering speeds!
