Beauties!! Are these your stencils? Thanks Jeff. Yes, all of the flames and the Corvette coves were done with my stencils. Been trying to come up with other ideas for stencils. Always open to ideas and suggestions. A few AMXs are in the works. Will post pics when they are done. |

I'm really digging that orange nomad.  Thanks Rich. It's a different color combo that came out pretty nice. These candy colors really have a lot of potential. |

Bill I don't know if these are possible? If so I can see some killer paint jobs with something like this. Maybe a few different sizes so they could be placed in different areas on the car. Possibly make some small enough of the same design to daisy chain around the car like a pin stripe.    |

Bill I would like to have some of the old school flame stencils if possible. Are you selling those on Ebay? If so where can I find them and your cars? Thanks.

Bill I agree you are The Flame Master !! Your paint and flames are awesome right down to the color selection and fading. Sam those design's you posted are a great idea for the stencil's if the cutter will be able to cut out that type of stuff ? I've been getting a lot of good art and design's for decal's from Tattoo flash CD's that have a lot of very cool and wild stuff including the tribal design's and clip art CD's that sign makers use that if you find the right ones has a lot of car related art including pin striping, flames and other car graphics. And with the right art program there easy to re size and change to fit different cars. They can be found on ebay you can find some that are fairly reasonable and some are kinda pricy but there is 1000's of things to choose from. Most are all in a vector format which is good for resizing them to are small little cars with no or little distortion. Keep up the awesome work Bill.
Rick

Possibly make some small enough of the same design to daisy chain around the car like a pin stripe. Those are some cool images, some of which would look great on a slot car body. Some of them would require modification to work well on the vinyl cutter. If an image has breaks in it, the end result will be many small pieces. Transfer tape can be used to apply such stencils. Otherwise you would be piecing together a puzzle. That can be avoided by bridging the gaps in a photo editing program. |

Don’t currently sell stencils on eBay but have been planning to. You know, the procrastination thing. We could just deal directly. I make several styles and sizes of flames. By traditional, Do you mean like the Nomads? Those seem to be fairly universal. Also have a longer hood flame for long hooded cars like funny cars. Used them on the Kiwi Challenger. Maybe it would be a good idea to post a few photos of the options available. Thanks Bill |

Jeff I just kinda did like Rick, did a quick search of tribal art lines. Funny I can see Rick's wheels turning already ha ha. I see what you mean about the splits Bill. I think it would be fine to pull them together so we're not making a puzzle. Best part of your stencils to me is I like using both sides of the stencil to make an overlapping effect. Yep I can see us going to town with tribal stencils next lol. Hook us up Bill :-)

I have some of the ones you have given out for the races, but they were mostly the smaller ones. The ones on the Nomad are the "traditional" I was referring to. I would also be interested in the longer versions since a lot of my customs are 4 gear. Thanks. |

Recently got some new vinyl that’s only 2 mils thick, that does contours really well. It’s a little tricky to work with. Kinda flimsy. It’s adhesive is a bit stronger too. Have another that is transparent which helps with placement but it’s adhesive is weaker. It’s not good on contours but does well on relatively flat surfaces like funny car hood or GN sides, |
