a quick fix at Wilmonski`s driveway holds Jimmy`s truck together just long enough to find the only snow patch left in Lucas County

Great pics JB. You have captured the only time in history a bullet-proof Divco van actually broke down.

Thanks Jack.....unfortunately,that large chicken,whose feet are hidden in the scrub grass,and later in the fresh snow,was witness to the whole fiasco
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooo.......how`d they do on your Speedway truck makeover?

@john-barry Oh I will just do the decal removal myself; hopefully without ruining the red finish. I expect it to arrive in about 2 weeks or so. By any chance have you ever removed any of the decals on the First Gear trucks? I was thinking of just trying straight hot water/fingernail (works on Brooklins) and failing that then nail polish remover which worked well on my Minichamps Lotus Cortina number decals last week. If I go this route I will try a tiny application/rub on the underside red just to be safe.

@jack-dodds when I asked for recommendations on removing decals from mint models,several people said to use nail polish remover WITHOUT acetone (they aren`t really decals,but I can`t recall the term describing them)
I have not attempted the procedure yet

@john-barry Whoops...sorry about that. It looks much better IMO as I prefer stock. I've never been a fan of commercial decals...oil companies and the like excluded. Thanks for doing that John!

@john-barry That is why I wanted ideally to get the white and black one like yours as I think it would look great sans decals. Just one person's opinion of course.
