Yes....I guess. I saved the pics I wanted as a jpg and set my printer for standard printing. When I tried the highest quality setting, the ink bled too much. I printed it on Testors decal maker paper then sprayed it with Testors decal bonding spray. They're simple to mage but a pain in the rear to apply. The edges kept wanting to roll under when I applied them so it took at least 5 minutes to get them on and set the way I wanted.

No problem. I can usually find the paper & bonding spray at the Snobby Lobby or Michaels. They're the closest to me.

Thank you sir! I picked up a 1964 24" Fleet that's missing it's tank. I'm looking for a replacement, but not real hard. I'm hoping I'll find one at the show/swap in Crawfordsville. You going to be there?

Forgot about Crawfordsville,used to go there and sell/buy pocketknives years ago I believe.Let me look into it and if I roll that way Ill let you know.

Thanks to you SCHWINNRAY I ended up using that word in conversation the other day. I started laughing at myself when I did!

Since I misplaced Aaron's changuard for his Stingray, I was looking around the shop & barn for it and looked at my light set up I had for this:


I'm scrapping this idea and going with a different arrangement. I bought a new light for a headlight and it changes everything!!

It's a dollar store tin box one of the boys had lying around. it fit the need and space to mount it perfectly.
