Like we used to see on commercial vehicles in the 40s-50s. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | I don't know anyone down your way but may I make a suggestion.
The fade here now seems to be putting the business on the door and make the lettering look old.
Just about every car show, or cruise-in, that I go to I always see one or two with the old signage painted on the door. Ask some of those guys who did it for them.
Hope this helps. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 122 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2013 Posts: 122 | Yes I'll probably end up going that route. We have lots of cruise ins here in the spring and summer and I should be able to find a rat rod or 2 with lettering on the doors. Thanks for the suggestion.

I used to drive commercial trucks, it's still popular to have the old school paintwork on big rigs. Maybe call an independant trucking company or stop at a truck stop and talk to a couple guys. | | |
