Just recently bought a 98 Ford Ranger for a shop truck, and finally got around to putting some lettering, etc. on it. These are shots of one of the doors, and the tailgate. The car on the tailgate is something I drew and scanned and vectorized to cut. This is all vinyl.

It's really easy to see when someone has put in the time and effort to produce a quality design, as opposed to cookie cutter, quicky work !!

Hey CJ! Long time no c! My website provider has been moving everything and it took a little while to get used to the new system they have. Got it now though. Posted by Neil D. Butler (Member # 661) on :

Both designs look great John but was just wondering why you have the 2 different designs on your truck?
Posted by Amy Brown (Member # 1963) on :
Very cool! All vinyl? Did you do a little airbrushing on the top or is it overlayed in the name?
Posted by Eric Barker (Member # 2972) on :
Very nice! Brings back old memories of drawing hot rod cartoons all over my notebooks in school. I wish mine had looked that good!
Posted by John Deaton III (Member # 925) on :
Thanks y'all. The whole thing is all vinyl. Amy, The overlays on the lettering is vinyl also. Done by making a copy in illustrator, using the offset path command, entering a minus number which makes it smaller, and then using the knife tool to cut across the middle. And Neil, I've always done this to my trucks. I really don't have a set logo for my business,so I am constantly doing different things with my name. I also have a different design on my window at the shop. Constantly experimenting with ways to do things, and different layouts. I like the way the truck looks now, so I probably wont change it for a while. Maybe. Posted by Glenn Taylor (Member # 162) on :
Wow John! What I'd give for an ounce of your talent. I especially like the cartoon. Posted by Janette Balogh (Member # 192) on :
Looks great! I'm partial to the first one.
Very professional!
