All Original... Haha.

 

My old AirForce truck got a little ink in HRDeluxe this month...kinda cool...
I sure do miss that truck...


I love this thread...

 

Ford dealer truck from around gas city indiana.
I still have the door. The truck had lots of dealer ads on it, but most of it was so faded you couldnt see it. This door was the best one.

 

Keep seeing this thread come back - very cool! Here's a couple from somewhere... don't remember. One's web, the other at a run. FYI: For those of you looking for the "right" pencil, I always used a "Stabillo". You can get them in several colors, they blend with the paint, and clean up easily. I still buy them at my local hobby store. Good luck!

Here's some vintage 'double-layered' lettering on a rotting 1940's Reo deuce and a half, which was obviously owned by at least two different companies during its life. It's pretty much spent the last few decades rotting in my back lot.

 

Here's a pair of doors I took off a 1956 F250 that was the local parts store truck...

Has any one ever started a thread regarding how many hot rod H.a.m.b.ers are also Signwriters? Would be an interesting thread. I know there are quite a few just in Australia alone.Let me know!

 

Here is some more stuff I 've done in the past.Not exactly door art but its sort of related.

 

Here is some more from Australia, some genuine old ones and some new.

Just gotta say I love this car!

 

Here's a few I have found.

 

I really like the way this looks. I saw this one at world of wheels in ATL.

 

Just as it was built in England ,before it ended up in my garage .

 

Found this on the door of the 33 Chevy Cabriolet I bought in Oregon.

 

Here is mine.... Its the real deal from Roland C. Frank Construction Co. (circa late 50's-early 60's)..

 

I can't believe i never saw this thread before. Here are some of the the doors i've done...and a few tailgates.

 

The lettering on my pickup is original from 1958. 'Steve's Tire Shop' is still in Manville, NJ. When it was lettered it cost $25 for a local sign painter to do the door, hood sides, grill, cowl and bedsides.

 

Somehow didn't get the pic included. Sorry.
