Show me your show cards....... please!

Post your real one for LiveWire, I don't want to have to locate it in all the photos I got.....-Weeks

 

I was digging..


The Big one is Dirty Donny and The Credits is by Manny Cisneros

 

Kick*** I found the pic I got just in case. Thanks Pachuco.-Weeks

 

Made this one for my Chrysler once. More tongue-in-cheek than anything.

 

I found this in my neighbors garage, real deal from the 60's, now it's in my garage

 

I thought you guys where going to let gman ride, couldn't figure out his problem! the signs are part of the show, some bad some good, good idea get it signed by some one cool

 

You mean like your avatar wagon w/ the 20's on it?





My board was hand painted, flamed & lettered by Dennis Ricklefs.
Then some ***wipe stole it at a show. Who the **** would steal a show board?

 

That is awesome!

Cool thread!

 

Here what I used @ GNRS for the 75th

 

you guys are making me feel a little ill, today I just ordered a showboard for a car I just bought and i am a little intimidated
it is a sign shop one on plastic, but I hope at least i made good color choices
made it a little smaller than the 24x36in one last year, had a hard time finding room in the display and was not wind frinendly

 

Thanks a ton. Any more?

 

Dean-
I just saw Manuel at Ron Foreman's Brush Off Christmas Party last Saturday. That guy doesn't age at all. His work on the California Kid is timeless. Still one of my favorite flame jobs ever.

 

Here's a few I've done;mostly HAMB unfriendly but ya gotta eat too.The Piano Man was just finished yesterday.

 

Way to go, Ray!

Here are a couple that I have done.

 

I havent got good shots but these are still on the shop wall,the Midnite Cruiser 65ss (wood sign) was on the ISCA shows in 79-81,blue gl*** Model A was mid 80s, Tucson T was mid 90s . midnite revenge Harley was mid/late 90s.....Wood sign painted by Don Pennington in Portland,blue one was a staff painter with Stereo Super stores in Portland,and the mirror and red ones were painted by Bob SPIRIT Spencer in Corneilus Oregon

 

Here's some of Jeff Allison's work, done for our club display back in 2009.

Cars don't talk. Cars can't tell you who, what, where, and other info. Show cards are also neat art that show some beautiful period striping and hand lettering. They add to the atmosphere.
What really looks ridiculous is little one line snipes on threads by people who think their way is the only way.

 

Got that right............I miss doin the car show scene....half the fun was in the display,even doing it all on a shoestring,plus it was a good way to pay respects to those friends that helped on the car

 

I've got two, one for outside and one for indoors. The indoor one is a oak raised panel insert for a door that I had laser engraved at the local sign shop. I've gotten alot of compliments on that one. The other one I made out of an old road sign.

 

Great sign!Never thought of laser engraving one;neat idea.You can't beat those oak door panels.I buy them at yard sales whenever I see them for really cheap money(I think the most I ever paid was $3 for one).They make great signs for either indoor or outdoor use.They are heavy enough that they won't tip over or blow away easily.Here's a couple I've used for signs.

Another great item for use as a sign is an old wooden creeper;with or without wheels.Leave them on and you can still use it as a creeper.

 

You sign paintin' guys are an ingenious lot, aren't you? The rest of us walk by this stuff every day and never see its reusability. What's next? Lettering on old thrift store suitcases?

I'll never p*** up an old busted up wooden creeper at a garage sale again!

 

nothing I hate worse than a show card boogering up one of my car show photos... I think people should lay them down flat on the floor rather than stand them up in my way..

 

I have a whole folder... gimme a minute and i'll upload and edit them for posting...

 

You mean something like this?

 

Here's one of the ones I did.
I like you guy's hand painted stuff a lot better, but I've been on the damn computer so long now, I can't use a brush worth **** nowadays.

 

Here's a couple, hand painted of course, just how god intended them to be!

 

"rather than stand them up in my way."

Your way? It is THEIR car. I think THEY should do what THEY want.

 

Norwell, post the one for your old Model A coupe, always loved that sign!
