    Maybe we're not in Canada. I guess I was wrong again. We must really be in Mexico. OR Maybe some of the illegals smuggled them in. That's probably it. They must be more valuable than marijuana now.:biglaugh:

    I'm not trying to pick a fight Jimmy. I was just saying these were available here. You seem to think there not. I have the proof. As for getting me banned here you seem to think you have a lot more authority than you really do. I usually don't answer anything you post here and I'll refrain from doing so again. And I'm sure you would miss me as much as I would you. :bowdown:

I know you dont respond to my threads anymore ,but you sure read them often cuz im doing some cool stuff with all the builds i have going on . Don you should be a little proud of me as im building some pretty nice mavs(show winning mavs) ,im building number three rite now as we speak.And im sure making Blue Thunder better looking and faster every year at the track,this year im going to try to get a maverick on the track team in Pro ET ,oh and lets not forget the NAMCC. I KNOW IT SOUNDS LIKE IT ,BUT IM REALLY NOT TRYING TO TOOT MY OWN HORN :blowhorn:

    I almost caved a few times and always on my watch list. Decals on side are shifted to front but that's a error right? must be worth millions :)

    Actually, those are called tampos,( no mis-spelling there ... make what you want of the name ... ;) ) and they are paint, not decals.

    It is a mechanized roller with a pattern on it that applies paint, one for each color in the pattern being painted. The car goes down the assembly line, gets registered into position, and then the roller runs across it. If it moves or is not placed correctly, the tampo is going to be messed up.

    Because there are two colors in this one, that magnifies the chance for an error. Out of the two that I got, one is perfect and one has the black shifted slightly forward.

    I was at a diecast convention once and they actually had a tampo machine there to show people how it was done. They were doing customs for a show exclusive .
