Shop Truck Door Art-- Post your pics!

Ive been admiring what I think is some of the coolest art ever... and it comes on the side of a truck!

Post some pics and share your work or your favorite shop truck door art!

 

heres one that was posted a few days ago that I really like... taken by NITROFC

 

Here's one that I saved from a while back.

 

thats cool.. I love wings...here is what is going on the side of my truck.


cant wait to get it on the truck.

 

65fordguy, Yep I also like the ones with wings. Looking for a set to go on my 57!

 

Nice stuff so far guys. Been wanting to work a logo with some pinups into my truck. Im thinking about right behind my cab on the side of the bed.

 

I've wanted to do something on the doors of my 32 pickup for a couple of years and now I'm starting think why should I?

I liked the idea when it wasn't as common but I feel like it's overdone lately.,,just my opinion,,

BTW,,the Texaco deal looks good. HRP

 

heres mine

 

Here's mine, not a shop truck but John my sign painter did a great job. He was laying on his side in my garage when he painted it.
Later,
Dick

 

Thinking about reworking this one for mine.

 

I'm pretty sure there's already a thread like this. Anyways..here's three I shot and some others I saved from the HAMB

 

A few more...........

Thanks, I did it myself! I agree with ya about the "commonality" of the shop logos these days... however Im building mine for a good reason.

My dad owned a cool old shop, the kind with the flat roof.. two big bays a store front and 2 pumps out front... it was Joes Texaco for years... till he went away from texaco to Aamco and a few others... but I like the ring of Joes Texaco... and its a cool logo. His parts getter was a 61 ford f100.. pea green... hince the pea green T... I aint painting that truck pea green! any who in 1970 while working on a customers car out front someone pulled up and shot him 3 times 2 went to the head... he was told he would never talk walk have any motor function... a few weeks and months later.. he was walking talking and doing normal things.. but he lost nearly all use of his right arm and right leg. He sold the shop a year or so later.... so Im doing this in honor of him and the things he over came. including a recent spell of colon cancer. so everything in the logo is symbolic... wings (someone was looking over him)... the T green like the old truck.. and the flame at the top of the Star cause he always told me he was going to light a fire under my.... A@# .. lol.. nah. I just thought it was cool. The truck will likely be semi gloss Black or Dark Blue.

 

idea 1 minus the wheels... who knows what I'll end up with for wheels.

Here's a couple I did for my friend Dave. This was his family's farm near Snohomish Wa. It's acrylic so it'll probably wash right off.

 

Here's a previous thread:

here's mine with my $150 merc ...

 

Well, I gots me a shop truck too!
It's a 1950 Chevy Panel Truck that I use for my pinstriping & graphics business.
The driver's side has 5 variations of 23k Gold, variated gold, and silver leaf. (I've added more to this since these pics were taken 2 years ago)
Here's a bit more detail...

The passenger side was an interesting accident. I had planned on using the candy colours, but where you usually paint a silver base down first...I decided to use silver leaf for extra pop. But then I thought, hmmm...silver leaf...hey, I could spin this! When the sun hits it, it's blinding!!! You can see this thing all the way across the parking lot at Wal-Mart!!!
and more detail here too...

I really need to get better pics of this thing.

 

how about this

 

Some great stuff on that thread! Here's a great shot of concreteman's coupe.

 

and that's not the only one. The search function is your friend. This is one of those subjects that someone starts a thread every 4 or 5 months..

 

Somebody needs to post the 'Hilborn' delivery truck. I have it but not in digital. i'd say its' pretty authentic.

 

odd rods car club truck, we load the coolers tent and chairs in it for the cruises

 

I searched and searched but all I found were people saying to use the search function that this post has been posted. So I searched some more and searched some more...got bored and posted.

 

really? I searched and found about 3 threads right off the bat. Maybe your search skills suck.

Here's one of the good ones...
