was thinking sometime back there was a guy or company painting diecast sprint cars to match your team cars.....if anyone knows someone that does this, could you get back with here or at [email protected] thanks!

I'd like to know too!

we have a local sign guy that has produced some "one off" season ending trophies , althought the trophies independently took some time to complete, the Personal touch of each competitors scaled car and the finishing points positions were killer! , by far the best I have seen !,

Im pretty sure this is not the same "craftsman" you are referring to, but I know of this particular individuals work, let me do some research with him, and get back to you possibly

I was thinking that this guy had some of his cars on display at the Fremont swap meets..several years ago.

definetly not the same guy im talking about here, were located several states away, but , maybe your memories will spark some input from someone else ? Ill give you a shout if I here anything you might be interested in

The guy in fremont was my grandpa, Don Linton. Unfortunately he died about a year ago. He did cars for 50 or 60 drivers including Kemenah, Dewease, Reed and a lot of the Ohio guys. He did amazing work with help from Banshee Graphics and CK Customs. Some of them looked better than the ones the die cast companies put out.

There was a guy in PA who did them, but I cant think of his website right now.

i believe HAM SIGNS in the Dayton, Ohio area does them. I know of someone who had one done about 3 or 4 years ago, real nice work as well.

It might have been A&G Custom Sprints. I have a saved bookmark that I was able to find. Their web site is:

Hope that is the one you were thinking of.

No matter how hard you try.........you can't polish a 
terd!!!

I was that guy and our company has produced over 300 die cast sprint cars and over 1000 other dirt and ashphalt cars in the 5 years we have been dealing in these custom creations.

When we used to produce the 1:18 scale sprint cars, they were a 100 peice kit that had to be assembled but could have custom chassis colors. Now a new company has bought the rights to this kit that GMP used to offer and now only sell them as assembled cars with black chassis. We are also capable to offer a 1:25 scale version as well.

Our website is currently being revamped and will have many more photos on it soon to be posted.

Some of the cars we have produced are: Donny Schatz, Danny Lasoski, Mark Dobmeier, Skip Jackson, Natalie Sather and many others.
