Quick update just wondering if anyone knows Joe from JG PRODUCTS http://jgproducts.net/

I ordered my decals from him over 2 weeks ago and now I cant get tracking or he does not reply to my emails or phone calls. I paid thru pay pal and just opened a claim today. I found him on the net and he said he shipped them on the 3rd of june.

Looks like ima need a new decal guy anyone know somebody who could make me the wrangler car decals?

On a positive note my plates will be done on Monday :D

Thanks Dom

i have dealt with joe with no problems. Cool guy. I dont think he is doing something funny. Something must have happened or he is on vacation.

Mike ,
I have to agree with you. A while back I ordered a number of 1/4 scale decal sheets from Joe and they arrived in Sydney within a week. I couldn't complain about that service!

I got my plates today !!!! :D :D I also had the upper and bottom brace plates made here are pics I will polish them out this week sometime. Now just waiting on the rear shock mount, Decals Joe said if I canceled the paypal claim he would send me another set out today with tracking becuase the last set was sent to the wrong address (by accident) and no tracking so I told him I am gonna trust him and I canceled the claim.

Anyway if anyone is interested in these plates let me know I will have em on ebay soon

If no takers by then will go on Ebay Thanks for all the help and info on this build but being married with 2 kids gotta wiegh my priorities and the boat take it.
