    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Triple the fun!! STROKE THIS!! Another project for me yeah!!

True...but, other than the satisfaction of saying hey i did that by hand, what are you gonna get out of it except getting to watch the guy down the street ride by on his bike cos its done already...Im not saying it doesnt look good...it looks great! But if there is a pattern available, why not use it?? Maybe its just me, and my inferior painting skills, but id rather trust the vinyl than my own hand...I have a design i drew up on paper (skull and crossbones WWII pilot) that will eventually go on the side of my cafe tank...but im not going to trust my hand to do it, when i can take the drawing to the sign store next door to my work, have them make vinyl stickers out of it and clear coat over it...job done and done perfectly...i'm poor..lol..i dont have money to spend on paint every time a biff up a design on a tank and have to start over....i was just sayin. :?
