Shop Truck Door Art-- Post your pics!

AWww that thread is soo old my grandma was viewing that on her old tandy supercomputer from the 70s... Were did you dig that up? the catacombs of the HAMB?! lol.

 

I got a few pics into your recommendation there and so far... this is my favorite. gotta love that

 

First off Tandy never made a "supercomputer", so your attempt at l33t humor is a m***ive fail. And yes I did use Tandy model III's and IV's in the late 70's early 80's. As for that thread, a simple search really. Sometimes you have to look past the first page of results. And they are called archives.

The TRS-80 CoCo (color computer!)

in 1977.. lol. it might as well be a supercomputer.

I wasnt even born!

I always ****ed at being funny. Im used to it.. my wife rolls her eyes at me at least 3 times a day.

 

havent heard the term 133t in awhile!

 

Here's mine on my 53 5-window.
My brother did the design and I had them done in vinyl for now to see if I would like them before spending the money for paint! I love them on the truck and they totally work with the interior (where I got the inspiration for the name from). Changed the look big time when combined with the WWW's and 5 spokes.

speaking of vinyl... cool truck by the way... I thought about doing a vinyl logo like you did to see how it looked... but was afraid it would look cheap... wonder if there is a way on the vinyl to fake a paint stroke and distress of the brush. Certainly would be a cheaper method... im looking at about 300 bucks to get the doors painted. or 60 for the vinyl.

 

two i have done up like both of my grandfather's trucks

 

You paid 150 dollars for that thing! You robbed the poor person!

 

yeah $150 bucks ... cost me more to get it home !!!
this is the car I should have started with ... got the dash and rear 1/4's off it for my chopped '50 merc project ... some day !!!

 

There was a garage in the town I grew up in that was named "Joe's Texaco". My Dad worked on the stock car the guy owned back in the 80's.

 

I found a couple plus a couple for fun.

 

here are my two shop trucks

 

Sounds like me and 65fordguy have similar minds...

Much like you, I'm thinking to do some door art as a tribute to my dad. Here's my design so far (photoshopped to look weathered)

 

pretty cool silvrbreez... now if I can just pick a color for the truck I'll be good to go...

 

Here's Mine!

 

Here is my door art....prolly painted by some 18 yr old newbie in the 50's...

 

1961 vair shop truck

 

old thread I know but...

There are some cool *** trucks on here and yours has to be one of the best. The color with the WW and 5 spoke is perfect and the potato sack door panel just adds to it's originality.

 

Just finished my latest "shop truck"

Now I can go and get another with out borrowing a trailer.

 

Door lettering

 

Not the best pics, but all I had.. I did all the art on Vinyl, it looked good and wqs removable if I needed.

The Dessert Rat is art I filtched and modified for my old LandRover
The Cop Car was an advert for my shop (details not seen in this picture) and the Decal on the truck was over the old patina'ed paint. It looked suprisingly good. .. yeah.. collecting Xmas trees for the Scouts.. we don't get a lot of snow...

 

This is on my 38 IH
