joez870 04-07-2008, 07:16 AM BOB! They don't work like peel&stick diecut stickers, man. ya SLIDE them off the paper!
LOL! That is just way too funny! I didn't even notice it right away until I read Randys reply. HOOOO! I can hardly catch my breath! Thanks for the day brightener, Bob! :thumbsup:
Bill Hall 04-07-2008, 04:13 PM LMAO 'Zilla!
A true classic in HT slot history. Reads correctly in the rearview mirror.
bobhch 04-07-2008, 10:22 PM Joez,
I made this up for you the other day. Just print it out as is. You don't need to shrink it down because, the box it will go on should be pretty big by December 25th! Oh,oh,oh Yeah!

Joez came up with an idea to do up trailers for the original Mullet Beer trucks. Will post up pictures of them here in just a second.

joez870 04-21-2008, 08:19 PM Bob! The trailers are looking as cool as I imagined them! :thumbsup: Way to sling that paint, Mate! :thumbsup: Mmmmmullet Beer! heh!
bobhch 05-03-2008, 01:44 PM Well I am always open for ideas and asked joez what to do for the rims since the RRR rim and tires are to large to fit under the skirts.
The answer was sand some T-Jet tires down and paint the axle ends red. I liked that idea so, next post will show the 3 trailers done and with tires.

bobhch 05-03-2008, 11:12 PM I lied about the next pictures. Just getting another project closer to being checked off. One of these is Joez, one is Win43s (he commissioned it in trade and sent the trailer and a Peterbilt body), one is mine and one is going up for the HOHT Auction along with a Mullet Beer Green Peterbilt with an AFX lighted chassis.
Now that the stickers have been designed, printed and applied (Wheeeew!) all that needs to be done is take apart, ELO strip the stripes & primmer & paint up 4 Peterbilts, decal them put them back together and clear coat them...yeah that's all. Love this fun project and hope you all enjoy these behind the scene pics.

Well its a good thing I had an Emergency Supply of Bill Hall red goop as of course my trailer (always happens to me) had the broken trailer pin. Wins pin is of the large type while, the other 3 all have the skinny post. Only mine was broken...came that way...oh darn!
Well what next...Mullet Light Beer trailers and Tractors? Open the main valve for the Light green ink supply on the copier guys...har

Bill Hall 05-04-2008, 12:37 AM Those are wundermous Bob! Fun to watch the gradual evolution of the original concept.:thumbsup:
Can you future over those paper stickies?:rolleyes:
You gonna use the live dually tractor I built on your personal Beer Mullet? Seems like I built that on the correct chassis that has the soldering tabs for tractor lighting.;)
Good thing I made that goop batch in red. "Oh sure planned it that way....yeah ...dats it!":p

Bill,
Woke up early before the tiny ones get up to start working on the Mullet Light Beer trailers. Then I have a couple for Ed in the works as well as a Top Secret trailer project for Uuuuuum...whats his name. lol
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/adad34.jpg
Nope you can't Future over the stickers but, they do hold up pretty well as long as you don't spray them with water. :rolleyes:
My Mullet Beer Peterbuilt will be using that live dually chassis that you so Kewly made for me (you dah man...man). On a side note: Fletcher loves lighted cars. :thumbsup:
The once broken off red pin on my trailer has now dried and is in full operation...Goop is soooooooo important to my builds. Glad I met Bill Hall...Wheeeew! Ooooh and you other slotters as well because without all you Kewl HT members what would be the purpose of posting here? (*Hello* anybody....anybody at all...oh darn!)
Bob...Hobby Talk people are fun people...zilla
win43 05-04-2008, 06:15 PM Bob "Mullet Beer" Zilla, you are way over the top :thumbsup::thumbsup:.
That is one fine looking Beer truck fleet. REMEMBER: " Don't drink and drive.....you might spill some"!:rolleyes:
Did you ever try that spray for photos on the paper stickies?? It works pretty good on photos printed on a printer. A few light coats, photo is protected, and no runs. Might wanna give it a try.:)

What about using a clearcoat bomb can like Krylon or Testor's clear enamel? rrr
joez870 05-05-2008, 10:58 PM These rigs are coming along GREAT, Bob...HTML king...zilla! :thumbsup:
bobhch 05-06-2008, 12:03 AM What about using a clearcoat bomb can like Krylon or Testor's clear enamel? rrr
Bill, rrr and Win43,
You guys are giving some good ideas...will try some test Semi trailers done up with these stickers and see what happens.
If you don't try anything you don't make mistakes but, people who don't make mistakes don't do anything so, will give this a try as a clear coat would be a nice finishing touch to these.
Who knows maybe melt clear nipple wax over them...har
Bob...thanks guys...zilla

The rims that came with these RRR trailers were replaced with HO Models New molded in white rims. Only one problem though. The t-jet tires were to tall to fit under the fender skirts so, Joez came up with the answer here.
Dremel tool, rear Tuff Ones rim and Sandpaper. Had to put the axle inside of a piece of plastistruc tube to get it to chuck up in my dremel tool. Slow and steady is the answer (yeah I tried to go fast once and messed up a pair of tires). Put my Dremel 400 on the 3 setting and applied light pressure till they got down to the proper size.
Joez has a red ended Axle trailer, Win and I have chrome ends. Now that red one is a Rare Variation...lol :rolleyes: That little yellow :) thing on the end is a piece of Poster Putty to keep the tires from slipping on the rim while sanding.
Bob...more Mullet Beer truck builds soon to come...zilla
win43 05-14-2008, 08:49 PM :woohoo::woohoo::woohoo::woohoo:
bobhch 05-19-2008, 01:00 AM These are the Future Mullet Semi Trucks that need to be detail painted, decaled, and put back together. One is for the HOHT Auction and the other is for Win43 who got me off my booty and sent a Peterbuilt and Trailer for me to jump start this whole project. Thanks Jerry for the push. :)

Ed sent me 3 of these guys and you can see that in my shop things are done a little different than Randy's. I use scare tactics and a different kind of prodding...Get to work slaves....ha,ha,ha...
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/abac8.jpg
Ed you have hooked both Fletcher and me up very well in the Monster department. Can't thank you enough...well Yes I can because this is enough now...har
So I was checking out "CUSTOM SLOT CARS" on the bay today and found this great short bus that Ed was selling. Gonna totally Monster it up...Yeah Baby! :woohoo:
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/c092_1.jpg
Have always been a big fan of Eds builds (along with everyone else's here at HT) because he always ads that Sethndaddy gore and blood to his builds in a fun way.
On that note: Ginger was driving to Kansas today with Bree, Fletcher, me and her Mother...BAM! Ginger left one seriously FLAT Squirrel on the Highway in Kansas today. Why was it so funny...just because...BAM...ha...oh gez here comes the Peta people now...:lol:
The little guy was scared and at one point thought he would leave the path of our Good~Year tires. Just kinda went back and forth...BAM...oh darn. I would have prefered the little guy to not get hit but, he did...BAM. LOL Ginger did the right thing by not trying to swerve or slam on the brakes while going 65 MPH. :wave: (That's my girl)
Bob...buy it now...zilla
tjd241 05-20-2008, 06:21 AM Good deal Bob... Gotta think the conscious "keep the car straight" thought as priority number 1 when a furry gremlin trys to de-slot ya. Those little grey bastages are going nuts this time of year. Sucks to hit anything :( , but better than wrecking a car with your family on board. In my neighborhood alone, all flattened in the road, there are enough to make a pie on any given day. Nice trucks!!! :thumbsup: nd
bobhch 05-28-2008, 10:23 PM Well we got a great big convoy truckin' through the night...yeah!
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g282/bobhch/aamono11.jpg
The second coat of Future is drying right now and is quite reflective when wet...yes another check mark on my list for the HOHT...more to come soon!
This truck will come with one Mullet Beer Trailer and one Mullet Light Trailer also...just one of these bad boys made up for the Auction on a lighted chassis with Slotted rims all the way around & Mullet Green front O-Ring tires to boot.
Bob...Check off...zilla
