Ever watch American Restoration? Offhand I don't remember, but does he use stickers or decals? I think he uses stickers.

[805ROADKING]

@HaligonianType1 Yeah I watch it all the time!! He uses stickers because the decals are unavailable. Those decals I got are still made on the original machine that was owned by Maytag back in the 30's!!☺

@Cletrac No kidding? I've got to do a search for that. Thanks for the info!

@CornfieldCraziness You can actually get waterslide decal paper for your inkjet printer and make your own decals. I've made them myself for some of my engines.

@CornfieldCraziness Yeah alotta the younger guys never seen a real Decal!!☺

I notice I'm not the first to say this but this reminds me of my old model building days too. I love those old water decals. I didn't realize you could still get them. The ones I used to use would tear easy if you weren't careful but you can actually reposition them slightly where a vinyl adhesive decal you can't. Racer did a pretty good job on that last one. I didn't think he would get it flattened. lol
