Progress is slow, so I can only post so much... I am pretty much confined to working on it over the weekends, due to my day job. I look foreword to every minute I get with the car though, must be something in the fumes!
Thats OK, you can always come by any time. Even if all that gets done, is pushing the car out so you can see it.
Alright, this voting poll was on NAM, and RMW, but I changed it up a little (OK so a LOT)... Which one of these 2 designs is going to be the speed shop logo I paint on my doors? (Sorry for the horrible format) The center image brings my first days in the army into the logo. The CLUB is the 327th Infantry's battle designation. In the 14: The 1 is for 1st Batalion, and the 4 is the 4th company (Delta Co. Heavy weapons/Anti armor designation. The up and down chevrons: designate 5th platoon. And the wings: Well thats nothing but a filler, kinda tying everything into MINI's Top: 6 Bottom: 16
Dick you know I am the less is more kind of guy when it comes to graphics so with that out of the way I would not put either on the doors. I like the cool logo so I would put those one them on front and rear without the "Dicks Garage , since 1983" text but that's just me. Now if you are absolutely going to do the doors I choose the bottom logo. Oh one more thing you should post up some pics of how nice you car was done in it's "glory days" before the Sprintex took its life with the assistance from Mynes with Bitetronic.
Thanks Dave, got to have the old styled speed shop logo though... Needs something to draw you in before you get close enough to really look at the paint. I will put you down for the bottom, but you do realize a few weeks ago you where rooting for the top when it was just the text right?
I'm with Dave on this one. I wouldn't cover up the great paint that you'll have instead I'd use the bottom logo on the rear hatch lower right side. Just my 2 cents.
Its not going to really be covering anything, it will be brushed on (yes with a paint brush) then aged with the rest of the car. Trust me on this one... It will just add more to the look, not take anything away.
I vote for the bottom one and trust your judgement on this. So far IMO you've made the right decisions with the look!
Bottom... I like the font used better.... The script feels older.... Kind of on the lines of what a pinstripe artist would do by hand...
Bottom................Praying to the weather gods that they give you a nice weekend so you can do more work to it.....so that we can see more pictures of it....:cornut:
Thanks for the votes everybody! At some point this weekend, I want to give the go-ahead and get the stencils cut, so if you haven't voiced your opinion, DO IT QUICK! Even with the bottom 4 votes into the lead, it could still turn around...
