things to improve upon...

Postby tmj11173 on Tue May 12, 2009 1:46 am

i think we need a "wishlist" type thing here., of what we would like to see in future releases.

1 thing I would like to see is a name and car info type of plaque within the display box. like where the company name is, you could put the info that is on the individual drivers page on something then put it in there somewhere.

Sure thing, I welcome comments and suggestions.

I'm constantly improving the Mud Fleas, because i'm never 'satisfied' with a specific design.

Because they are hand made and not 'produced' like a die-cast car, I have the ability to make adjustments on the fly, which in a die-cast would require the production of a new die.

Having the driver's name in the case has been brought up. The Mud Fleas are in the Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame, and when i spoke with Mr. Holder, he suggested just that.

I could do it with a decal, but doing it in the etched plaque itself would be expensive, mainly because i could only use the specific plaque for a specific driver. My fear is having some un-used plaques sitting around, if a certain driver isn't as popular as another.

I'll play around with the technology, and see what size of font is possible, and how much information i could get to fit on a plaque.

There are limits to the etching process, basically the thicker the brass, the bigger everything has to be (including the writing)
