Thanks guys for your comments.
Bob can you post a pic of one of your hand lettered cars? Might try that.

Joanne’s fabric’s in our area carries the paint pens too. Pretty much anyplace locally that sells craft supplies anymore has a good selection of them.

you sure it’s your first try? it took me years to get up the nerve to try that!
Talk to Stan Cedarleaf about decals, You can get enough on one sheet to do about 10 cars with plain lettering

There’s still plenty of room for improvement…

You lettered them cars with a paint pen?

Only the #2 on the Climax. I was referring to the cars themselves… they are very, very good for a first try at scratchbuilding.

And here’s a riddle for you, Rooster, “Why don’t they let donkeys go to college?”

If you were referring to the cars themselves why did you suggest Stan for decals then? Still trying to figure out the riddle? I don’t know Alan?

Because cars that nice deserve decent decals.

And the answer to the riddle is “because nobody likes a smartass”

I'm looking for an excuse to use some indecent nose art decals.
