    Sweet! I love to watch a Southpaw swing a brush! One of my mentors was a "leftie" and he started at the right bottom and worked up and to the left. He did some awesome brush work.

    Hell yes, keep 'em coming!!! Cool to see all the different styles. The Old Crow logo is just killer, got to get a t-shirt.

  21. Not sure if the resurgence of door art/signage is a phase in the hobby or here to stay...but I personally like...especially on trucks. Thanks for the photos!

    Convert the photo image of you lettering to black and white and load it into this site. Will identify your font or give you the closest to it.

    I am SO loving this thread...the old lettering brings back so many memories of when my dad was living and working for the local garages, and construction companies.
    Thanks for sharing gentlemen!
