I just spoke to Frank yesterday. He is not out of the decal business. He has parted company with the vintagesledders web site but that's all. He is quite disgusted how things turned out with that venture but I won't go into any details on that as that is not for me to publicize. Frank is a very, very busy guy and the sled decals are a 'labor of love' for him. It takes an incredible amount of computer time to reproduce decals. Every detail has to be mapped out. You don't just scan them and hit the print button. He has stacks of decals that guys want reproduced from all across the Country. Unfortunately, they all can't get done at once. Please be patient and give him a little slack. He really does do a lot more for this sport than most people realize.

I understand that he does a lot more than vintage sleds and that he has stacks and stacks of decals to reproduce, but the problem for me is the fact that I've left him multiple messages and called a bunch more times and he just totaly ignores them. I'm sorry if you guys that are friends with him are offended, but you just can't run a business like that, it's very very unproffesional. All he's doing by not calling me back is pushing me closer and closer to his competetors.

He's alive!! I got an email from Frank today saying that he got my messages and that he was sending the decals. Although I think he got confused with another order that we had already done, but either way he's printing my new ones that I need and they're being sent out today. I was really glad to hear from him because I really was starting to worry that we lost him. Definitely glad we still got him!
