After the favorable response to my "Precious Metal" and "Red Baron" t-shirts, I am adding more designs to my air racing collection. I have just printed samples of the "Spirit of Texas" for the Dawsons which I am very pleased with, and "Miss Ashley II" should be done soon. I am going to add more, hopefully in time for Reno this year and would like some input from this forums' readers as to what aircraft they would like to see, using my 3-view layout. Some of the current racers have deals with other printers so I can't do just any airplane (such as Rare Bear), but there are plenty of older aircraft that I am interested in doing, such as "Conquest I" etc. What would you like to see? Thanks, Chuck

Re: Reno t-shirts and merchandise
I can sure attest to the quality of Chuck's shirts!
I've washed the ones I have that he did a BUNCH of times and the art is still totally intact. Not sure how you do it Chuck but they are really nice... the detail is awesome also.

Yeesh, you could end up making a lot of money off me. Great designs.
Last year I bought an RB-51 and two PMs (one to wear, one to save). Then left them in my hotel. Damn! Hope the same shirts will be available this year.

Re: Reno t-shirts and merchandise
To all of you that have responded in such a short period of time, thanks. This endevor for me has not been easy, and so far not profitable (hard to believe after all of the shirts we have sold) but as Billy Joel wrote in "The Entertainer" "I've learned to dance with my hands in my pants, and I rub my neck and I write em a check and they go their merry way".
When I am about to throw in the towel and get a "real" job, the compliments are so wonderful to hear it almost chokes me up. To me, my shirts are so much more than just t-shirts, and I am obsessed with making them as good as I can. To the person that left their shirts in Reno, e-mail me (odum@netpath.net) and I will send you the shirts at no charge if I have the right sizes. Yeah Mike, Tova was fantastic in helping us last year, especially seeing how she refused anything save a t-shirt for all her work. Not exactly bad to look at either.Maybe she wanted me as compensation.
I hope to have lots of girly stuff this year.
Almost unbelievably, one of the racers may be a silent partner this year, allowing me to go all out with the merchandise. And as always, it will be stuff that is technical, tasteful, and will be as good as I can get my hands on.
Thanks again, Chuck
