Excellent story even though he spanked you. It's always nice to earn a
little respect from non-Dakota people :-)
Hey Preacher.... I got my Dakota model and I love it! Thanks for all your
help in getting this. I want to do as good of a job as you did on yours,
but I don't know if I can... plus I don't have the free time to devote to it
right now. How did you do the decals on the model? If I paint it black
(using primer first), how do I get the red Sport, Dakota, and 4x4 logos on
there? Not to mention the Ram emblem on the hood.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
And thanks again :-)
TTYL,
Norah
