Beautiful work, and the in-progress photos are fantastic!

Question for you-
For the pinstripes on the rims of the wheels of your Concord buggy, are those a single decal, or are you applying it in sections?  I'm trying to imagine handling a single decal that large while trying to keep it concentric.

G'day Eric, the decals for the rim of the wheels are made up of 4 sections, so once printed and then I will apply two of the sections to the rim, think 12 to 3 and 6 to 9. Apply these two sections to all wheels and after they have dried and stuck to the rims, then do the other two sections to complete that circle on the rim. Try doing them one after the other is fraught with danger, as each bit is still floating and they just move all over the place, voice of experiance speaking.

Thanks for the explanation!  Makes a lot of sense, and I just couldn't imagine doing it with a single decal.
