There is one more piece I need to complete the graphix work on Captain American AMX: a custom "mascot" cartoon which will consist of the comic book character Captain America, but with an AMC logo on his chest and shield. This figure will be going on my trunk. Anywho, my graphix guy said it will be very complicated and 'spensive to airbrush it, so he wants to get it done as a decal. Fine by me. But he doesn't have the right software to reproduce it, so he needs to farm it out to someone. Again, fine by me. Well, three weeks ago when I picked the car up his partner told me it would be about 3 days for them to work it out, then I would just need to bring the car back so they could put it on. Again, fine by me. Well, that week passed, then another week, than almost a full other week. So, I'm like WTF? So, I called him on Friday, and basically got a "pass the buck" that his partner was on vacation for a week, and he would leave her a note to call me on Monday. OK...my phone was ringing Monday morning, but it wasn't her. And she never called. So, today I called her. N' I got a buncha smak, smak, jaw breaking about how she was on vacation, and her partner was busy, and she didn't want to leave the comic book I gave her with the figure with the other graphix place, etc etc etc. So, I guess after 13 years of business, having dropped many bux, and having them work with me on a creative level, that I'm just another number...
