That awesome vintage lettering!

Hey is there a place here where a guy can find a vintage lettering expert? I am making my grandads old 1954 Chevy work truck, and am thrilled with the lettering in the jalopy journal. I have a great sign guy who designed this, but he doesnt really want to learn how to do "old" for just one project.




Btw, I'm in Colorado.

 

Nice, another FNG post.

 

Before everyone jumps in your ass please post an introduction.

 

everyone needs to calm down...if your ever in Ohio I can letter it.

 

Sure, Our furnace guy forums are the same way......

 

the guy asked a simple question,,,,why do some of you guys feel such a need to bust balls,,,,either you can help him or you can't,,,

what's the big deal?...so he didn't post an intro,,get over it..

 

Done, sorry, I skipped that step. I wouldnt be surprised if somebody here doesnt recognise the name...... and ask how my old man doin.....
Nice site to find!

 

So... here is my truck.

 

I'm new at this, is that a model A tail light?

 

Probably gets more heated there.

 

we all were once eh?

 

Its as much about beer and insults as real work.....

So. Do lettering guys advertize here?

 

Okay,you proved you're an alright FNG.
Here's some friendly info-

Do you guys expect everyone to know the rules when they first sign up?
Funny how the first two posters riding this guys ass didn't do an intro as their first posts!! Easy to check.

Spotts if you dont get a reply here, go to http://www.pinheadlounge.com/
You should be able to find someone in your area.
Good Luck and Welcome to the HAMB

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks the "intro police" are way too quick on the trigger!!!

 

Welcome to the HAMB! I have a problem with the 5%'ers (one in twenty) that think they run this place. You will learn a lot here!

 

You can also go to the HAMB Stripers and ask there. Tons of info in that group. Welcome.

 

Are you just wanting an old font or do you want the lettering to looked aged? (patina'd)

 

definately want the patina of a 30 yr old lettering job.

 

If you are ever in s.c. I can do it.

 

good job ryan. and welcome to hamb spotts , nice truck

 

i hope you get it worked out because that's a really nice looking old school sign. good luck and welcome.

 

Ed-Weird..... that is Exactly what I'm lookin for....... I could fly you to CO cheaper than I could drive that 105hp Hunk of Chevy to SC! But there is Myrtle Beach..... hmmmmm

 

Spotts now that you know what Rodney King felt like Welcome from K C

SMOKEY, In tha' GREAT SMOKEY MTS> no flat land.An, tha' RIVERS R are only semi-flat.



"I LIVE in tha' PAST!......It's Cheaper....

 

Why do sooo many people feel the need to flame a FNG for not posting an intro?....do that many people even read them? You're telling me 1 single post in that forum makes everything else freegame afterwards? Who gives a shit, the guy asked a decent question, not like he posted a picture of a 70's muscle car and asked where to find billet wheels or a tweed interior! lol! sorry rant over
