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

my kid's 34 pick up door..
click on it to make bigger..kinda hard to read.

 

one more time with feeling...

 

This is a picture of my Great Grandad in front of his work truck. I just got this picture recently from my dad. I thought it was pretty cool that he and I shared the same profession. I install home audio and TV's. I am going to have this logo put on my Model A door.

 

The doors on my truck were laid out and painted by hand while the painter laid on his side to do the work (John Beamandorfer). I thought he did one heck of a job.

Here 's some of my handy work.

 

Here's my first attempt at door lettering- It eventually got scotchbrited to give it a "weathered" look

 

Here's my '36 "shop truck".

Some jobs I've done.

 

very good lettering! I likes it.

 

Man if I only could get somebody to help teach me some hand lettering.

 

All very cool!

 

hows about "visor" lettering

i bought this at an auction a couple of years ago, but i cant bear to put it onto anything and remove the old paint, its a wall hanger for ever.

With the temporary paint job:


I got these doors from a HAMBer when he lived in Montana, they were on a cut-down 28-29 sedan

 

LONG LIVE THE BRUSH SWINGERS!!!

Nothing looks more BULLSHIT then vinyl on an old car or truck.
