Art & Inspiration The **OFFICIAL** door lettering thread

Here is one of my friends site...He's just a crazy, cool guy who first started lettering race cars in the 70's, and worked on several different movies like Smokey & The Bandit and Driving Miss Daisy.

Hear is one that I done a while back.

 

damn crook, thats cool .....sick, but cool!

 

Just picked this set up for my.....you guessed it Apache.....kick in the pants is that I own a painting business.

 

ok heres a couple of pics I got recently
this is the infamous magnet car that won the 1973 all american soap box derby in akron ohio

 

too soon ? ?

 

Like fake patina paint I hope this is a trend that dies soon.

 

Hahahahahahaha....

 

I'll play.
these is the reason I bought my coe.
it was an old trucking company in SOCAL.

 

A couple pics I have.

 

that is wrong on so many levels lol! I had a '68 Dodge crew cab that I really thought would look good with "Spahn Movie Ranch" and a silhouette of a pig's head painted and hand weathered on the front doors.

 

Love the Kool-Aide guy on the door!!!

 

"OH YEAAAHHH" in my best Kool Aid guy voice..

 

"Big Kool Aid"

 

57 150.

 

51 chevy truck

 

'35 Dodge Coupe "Haynesville Hoodlum's" Passenger Door with "The Next Victim" labeled as the passenger.

 

Here one I found while mouching around.

 

This sure is a cool thread. I know a really good sign painter who does all old school stuff, he's real talented. Aint nothing better than a good ol handpainted sign. The new vinyl signs are just dullsville (not to mention ugly!)

 

wish he was closer to me in so cal? ...... cool signs on this thread!

 

He's actually in Berkely. He'll travel anywhere though to paint some signs, so cal would be NO problem for him! PM me if you want more info on him.. He's one of the best in the west!

 

Here's Mine!

Here it was this weekend at the Pismo Beach car show doing what it was built to do.

 

Here's mine...

 

Just bought a '31 Chevy Truck off of Craigslist. Has a '60s Mountain Dew logo hand painted on the doors. It was supposedly a local radio station promo truck in the '60s.

 

as seen on my 51 chevy truck

 

Forgot one.
