How are you having the decal printed? Are you doing it yourself or are you sending it out?
Basically are you printing it on white paper or are you sending it to someone that has white ink? If you could trace it on Illustrator that would probably be your best bet for getting a clear image. I will try to give it a run tomorrow on Illustrator and then I can link the file to here if it turns out well.

I quickly pieced together a car side for you today. It could use a bit of touch up, but with the pen tool on Adobe Illustrator one could trace those designs and then make them the right color. That way it would be perfect clarity and color, with no distortions.  |

Have you test run the car yet? You are at the point where the model is 75% done,it would be a good time to check how it runs on the track and thru switches before you put the final touches on. If you need to tweak it for truck clearance issues,or to add weight,etc this is the times to do it. It's not road ready yet. Need to make a trip to hardware store for bolts to use as weights. Also I ordered washers and new machine screws for the trucks Rear truck has clearance issue i'm working on that. After I work the kinks out i'll add a soundcar or lighting only decoder. Hahah. I pieced and stitched the logo together |

That way it would be perfect clarity and color, with no distortions. I plan on making a paper mockup to make sure it all fits and is to scale. Then either have highball Graphics print a set or do it myself. On the decal the silver part of that picture would be transparent/clear. Id try to match up the corresponding colors with the paint. Nice stitch, thanks. What i did was take two shots and try to straighten them and put it together. I'll post it when I get to my other pc |

I normally use 2-56 screws,washers,and nuts for attaching trucks to cars,in some cases, I will use 6-32 screws,washers,and nuts when there's a need to use larger hardware, when rebuilding older models as an example. Any remaining "Radio Shack" store may still have bags of 2-56 or 6-32 hardware avaible, or try a hobby shop that deals with and repairs R/C cars...  |

If you still require the "AMT" logos, we do offer them for these cars. As with all of our other decals, they are printed by Microscale. Shoot me an email.

Thanks to my friend who is a freelance graphic designer, he made a decal for the car. I've been doing test prints before I print it on a waterslide decal sheet.  |
