Hey Bob,
I saw this on the Modeling forum awhile back. For older decals, try a coating of clearcoat over the decal sheet. After they setup, use them as you normally would. Cut/trim out the decal of choice, give it a soak, then apply. Once set up on the model//car, you can clearcoat again. The poster cited the enamel Krylon clearcoat as his coating of choice. Others also stated that they had used others such as the cheap one from Wally world. I have tried this on some older Patto's decals that went south and had great sucess salvaging the remaining pieces on the sheet.

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: Dave

Thanks I will try this roadrner.....Sweet!

Joez I am glad you got that sparkle car. Have done 2 Glitter cars so far and you have them both. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Bob...zilla

Ed,

Thanks again for hosting this event again. Always fun doing stuff like this. The Mike King Porsche looks great. Haven't had a chance to set it on the track. Hope to this weekend if the Track Manager doesn't keep me tied up with the Holiday goings on. :freak: Dave

Well lets see what info we have.. it was a guy as Neil does say what a sweetie paintjob HE did..It was painted,, yup that pretty much eliminates nothing...it was a slot car.. I give...I'll say 7

Just in time too. I was almost gonna buy another one of these. I stripped and customized my very last Fairlane for one of the HOHT cars I just did. Thanks MR. JPH (Patrick)... this is a nicely done rendition of one of my favorite bods, great decals, and FINALLY another number scheme instead of #76. This will make a fine running mate for the light blue Daytona I picked up at the last Beers show. Merry Christmas Patrick and thanks!

nuther Dave :)

Joez, Neal got boss's Van Wailing car

Got mine today too. Coach's vintage G+ chassied Tyrrell made its way to swampy southeast Missouri. Looks great! Thanks Coach.

ND - glad you like the Lorenzen Fairlane. Enjoyed decaling up the RRR body.

Ed - thanks for putting this together again this year.

Ed,

Finally had a chance to set this on the track. Definitely a sweet runner. Gonna have to start thinking about tricking up some of these MT chassis like this one. Thanks Mike & Ed, maybe we should do these exchanges for other Holidays! :)

Thanks again to all! :thumbsup: Dave

:woohoo: Santa did a drive by on my mailbox today. :p

I got G Buster's cool Hot Rod coupe by Dash! It would appear that Santa is aware of my penchant for Hot Rods ;)

... Deep Root Beer brown with a beige top...makes it look like a period convertible ...nifty graphics front and rear... with fatty Ansens :thumbsup:

Pics currently in the Cam-damnera :rolleyes: ...Will post up soon.

Thanx to Ed for administrating this Holiday Exchange and thanx to the usual cast of suspects for their generosity and fine efforts. A great HT tradition!

I got Joez Sweet Deora with the flaming boards on back. Way Cool Joez! Very glad that you put this up for Christmas and it ended up in my lap. This car will always bring a smile to my face when it is zipping around Godzilla Speedway!

I have a few Very Special cars in my collection. They are Special because, they came from some Fantastic Hobby Talk people. I love you All Man and Merry Christmas Everyone.

Bob...zilla

And as all know, I do the trade, see all the cars, and have to make a hard decision, which car will I keep, there were alot of really nice cars, my soft spot is resin cast cars, tjets and nomads.........LOL, I had a bunch to choose from. I saw a nice trade in joez Deora and Bobs nomad, which took 2 cars out of my want list making it a little bit easier.
nuther Dave's little tjet Claus resin car stays in my stable.
I hope everyone was happy this year, it was a little tougher this year, receiving twice as many cars, but well worth it.

Ed, that was a heck of alot of cars to parcel out and re-ship.

You are a rock star, man. :thumbsup: Many many thanks!

I cant wait till next year allready..... :thumbsup:

Thanks Ed!

So...who got the interceptor??

They were all nice rides and you're more than welcome to choose one you like. We love doing this and wouldn't have it any other way. I am honored you picked mine this year!!... I feel like I won twice. :thumbsup: nd

I think Boss got the interceptor

Rats....not even for a gajillion dollars? :D

Solly ! Not for all the tea in China !
