Oracal 651 - 035 Pastel Orange is what i use on my race car, the chassis is fluorescent orange and pastel was the closest to use for orange that wont fade out.

Have about three hours in this template of a 1988 Monte Carlo SS Dirt Car. I plan on doing a bunch more cars when i get the time. All the stuff on this one is for a local racer that i will be sponsoring next season.

Design looks real good and the lettering is ok. Should have added a yellow outline to the blue line and Car Care Center Exhaust & Brake Specialists. Also a yellow outline to the hammer. But i'll give you props.

Trailer to match the car, he'll have to do a little touch up cause it wasnt painted to match the flame.

That one was $450!!!

Next car will be done tomorrow night and more than likely i will have another one monday night. If plans go right, i'll get really noticed and no time and i must say again, i have waited 10 years for this moment coming.

Wait until you see it put together and for the second car i am doing tonight, the second one is a chevette but it is a really nice looking one.

I have the drivers side door, drivers side quarter and passanger side quarter finished. Just like the number on the passanger side door and then the roof, hood and nose. Hopefully i can get the cutter fixed ASAP so i can finish this and i might give up on graphics after this one and it being my first car. I can't take the aggravation that the cutter has givin me over the pass four days.

Sail Panels!

Cutter works again, yay!!!

It was working fine until this morning and now the blade just drags around instead of lifting up like it's suppose to and leaves lines all over the vinyl. I tried adjusting the spring in it but it didn't help anything other than the height of the blade while cutting. I need this fixed asap, in the middle of doing a race car.

Ok so i ordered another motor board from US Cutter, hopefully it will get here by friday since i am on the other side of the US from them. Anyways, as soon as i get this car finished, i have two more cars coming then an enclosed trailer from the local napa store. Let's pray that the cutter doesn't screw up again. I'll have my debts paid off and a tiny bit of pocket money to order more vinyl and work on the race car. I guess the cutter taring up then my monitor burning out was a sign. I actually got the two car garage 80% finished now.

I can't give up cause i can't afford to refund his money for sure but i will not give up either. I have waited around 8 years to get a vinyl cutter and finally got one. In my mind, i need one more than anyone (kind of design crazed). I can do some pretty nice stuff, i just need to get back warmed up to it again cause i had quit for a couple years and started doing 3D Models.

Yeah, that was the first thing i took off to check.

The cover off the blade holder? Yes! I'll wait till tomorrow and see what they say from US Cutter then i'll take it apart and check all the wiring.

Still the same thing. The blade with jump just a hair but that is it.

That is nice!

The blade stopped rising.

Thank god i am only using standard colors. The customer i am doing the race car for has a vinyl cutter also. He might let me finish it with his, dunno though, he's kind of hard to get ahold of sometimes. Either way, i am totally screwed cause that cutter is the only income i have and without it, i cant do anything. Sadly i can't put my race car together or finish my garage now until this thing is either fixed or replaced. Oh well, i still have some of my life left, lol. The real bad thing is, i have 30 more cars lined up to do next month. I am praying that US Cutter will atleast replace parts to fix it. I have only had it for six months, so?

Thanks Bigfoot, but like i said in the pm, i just can't afford anything right now. The only income i had was doing stickers and now can't do them either. :'(

I cant afford a Graphtec though. I barley could afford this one and if it doesn't get fixed to do a couple more smaller jobs, i'll be royally screwed. Already not gonna get to race this season because of buying the cutter and supplies.

Thanks man, i read some where else on here shortly after my post that their tech support is kind of bad. I hope this isn't true! I am in the middle of a $500 race car design that's already been paid for and i can't afford to not finish it.

They can be any where or any size as long as they are visible to the scorers. I am doing the graphics for five modifieds and numbers are all on the doors. I think most people put the number on the quarter panels so that they won't be covering up the door graphics. I also found it easy to make the numbers flow into the design with them being on the doors.
