Nice stuff Jim, good to see some new works. How about more of your private commisions?<br><br>On another note, been in contact with a dude that has a "Jack Rabbit" Sand Crab. Said you did it? All he has are webcam pics so I really cant tellwhat it is. Do you remember or have any pics of it.<br><br>I have some stuff to send if I can get it together long enough to get it to you.<br><br>Thx,<br>Mike<br>
Hi Mike.. Hope your T day went well.. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image"><br>mmm.. I haven't done either of those castings for quite some time Mike.. I've only worked a couple JR's in the factory color scheme, but it'spossible.. I'll look for pics tonight..<br>Send your cars when your ready and I'll get after them.. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image"><br><br>Thanks for your kind comments..<br>Rooster

<p><br> Thanks HJ <br>Your a Sweethart ! <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image"><br><br></p>
<p>Rooster, you need to do a SC in the white/blue stripe combo since it got the same "targa" rollbar. <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif" alt="image"></p>
Customer service sucks too....HJ<br>
<p>Diggin' the Sand Rabbit or is it the Jack Crab?<br> Looks great~<br> JBS~</p>
Morning HJ <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif" alt="image">..<br>Most everyone here has a Rooster's car in their collection already HJ and I've done a TON of work for everyone on RLOL from Matching hood only paints (which very few can do ) to completes so your not damaging me none dude <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eyes.gif" alt="image">...<br>So say what ever ya want bro as I'm not climing down in the mud with ya for a good flamming.. It bother's me none HJ.. <br>As I recall, No one else was willing to help you out with this project as you got no responce from anyone.. no one.. <br><br>alright then..<br>Rooster<br><br>
man.. I just can't seem to get anything right with your cars huh HJ.. Have Sherry strip it down and re-shoot it.. It's shinny plating.. I do not sand.. I tumble my castings in a tumbler so I do not loose body lines so there was no sanding.. than I rubbing compound them with a dremmel and buffing wheel.. sorry your disapointed.. your the only one that I have not been able to make happy..
<br>do ya feel better now ? ?<br>I charged you a hole $50.00 to do all that I did for you on that casting.. from a complete wheel swapover ( rip out the old wheels and axels and put new onesin it ) I usually charge $10.00 to do that alone.. to tumbling the casting first time, to plating first time, to tumbling again to plating again, to paint, toresasembly with $3.00 re-issue rivets that I furnished no charge.. and I didn't even charge ya for the shipping back.. I stated to send it to Sherrybacause she's a Great restorer that you know and could make you happy with your casting.. that's the only reason I said what I did.. I have no problemwith that car HJ.. I too had locals look at it here at our Hotwheels meeting and had 3 offers to buy it on the spot..<br>So it just was not as bad as your claiming it was or you would have stated total disapointment in it after I followed up on the E mail to make sure you hadrecieved the car..<br><br>( your quote ) It's OK I guess.. than you should have said right then you wanted to send it back to be refinnished due to it not being up to yourstandards..<br><br>I've done hundreds of cars and have had very few rejected like you have done with my work.. Why should I offer you anything to add to this casting ? yournot happy no matter what is done from me, so why should I even offer to do it again.. I have way over the $50.00 charge worked into this casting so that'swhy I offer no refund..<br><br>I can't please everyone HJ, and you'll never need to worry about Rooster botching up another one of your projects because I won't take another oneon for you and I should have not offered to help ya out on this one.. I told you on the phone that I would come as close to chrome as possible with Zincplating.. It's as much as could be done on the plating side of it<br><br>In closing..<br>I don't need to claim to be good.. I just restore cars for the fun of it and I just happen to be good at it.. <img alt="image" src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif"> I have plenty of Trophys from showing my cars at conventions and I don't think thathappens when the cars don't look Good.. I've participated in 11 restoration swaps with other restorers and ALL have been VERY HAPPY with what they haverecieved from me..<br>I have 16 of my works with Bob Rosas from the First Jackpot.. Everyone saw those and I was Immediatly Slammed with E mail for cars to be done..<br><br><img src="http://www.antique-central.com/users/uploads/redlinerooster/Jackpot-Award%2003.jpg" alt="image"><br><br>alright then..<br>Rooster<br><br><br>
I hadn't been in this forum for ages and I'm glad luvdemcars posted a message on the main forum about it. The last time I hung out here, things weregetting really stale. Good to see things have changed for the better.<br><br>Anyway... I wanted to say I like the JRS-painted Sand Crab. The JRS is another of my favourite castings for some odd reason (not higher on my list than theSand Crab, though, which is #1).<br><br>I don't mean to stir anything here, but you guys mentioned Sherry. Is she around here? I may have bought from her before if she sells on eBay (or I couldbe thinking of someone else).
