Jan has always been in SoCAL, but travels everywhere when needed. Not going to do much to the car this weekend. Got to go and sight my AR15 back in, so that some friends can test drive it... Might land me another custom rifle build this winter.
Yep I have seen quite a few of those over the years. I dont really see how to tie that into MINIs though. I did do some experimenting tonight, and found the size of the late '60s STP decals to be the best size. I tried a roll of masking tape in templates from tiny to huge and to me the 5"X3" is it so its going to be big enough to see, but not cover the entire window.
Looking for an R53 GP lower rear bumper facia... Turns out all the black plastic trim on the rear caries right over to the new "mustache" bumper, no modding needed either! Kinda makes me wonder about how the front lip of the standard S front bumper would look under the mustache... Got more things to check.
No the rear trim fits, I have to check the front to see if it can interchange with the front trim from the S bumper.
So in the past week, I have been fiddling with some stuff... The lower part of the front bumper can not interchange between the S and the Justa mustache bumper, so I am ordering one this weekend. I decided on my weekend project... It includes some paint... And so far I got the first two window decals done... #1... And #2... :beer
Just be double sure to check with Jan before you do it! He probably will not care, but many people work hard on their logo's and do not like them being altered or infringed upon. I recently was doing a project for work with one of the major athletic clothing manufacturers and was making a prototype mold. Logo's aspect ratio was off by ~ 5% (not even noticeable to the eye of a consumer) and they whipped out some calipers, measured it, and told me to do it again. Granted that is a huge company, but still nice to know you have permission to make your own rendition of it. (you may have already asked, idk. Just a heads up no idea if he would even care or not haha! )
Multiple variations of them at that! Seems I feel the need to change it up a little every day... Well the weekend has officially struck, so tonight I am taking some of the car back apart for tomorrows modding of mods. I am more worried about the companies of the original logos than I am any MINI related company, but that is just part of the game. Most people and companies from my experience though are cool with it as long as its not a direct copy, and I am not selling an altered version of their logo.
Get to work already because stickers don't make cars run.:ihih: If they did all the Mynes cars would still running and not be on jack stands.:lol::lol: Oh wait you know that very well don't you.:devil:
Indeed Dave... Just wondering if I should do random posts over the weekend, or just show the progress made Sunday night / Monday morning...
If you have time do random. Nice to see the transition into finished product. Kinda like a tutorital..
Oooooh ... Tie me up and make me wait! :devil: Oops, wrong message board. But if you wait until Sunday night, you'll get more done!
