Re: New Suburban decal

Here is V3 of the burb decals and the barn doors. These are about ready for a test print. I have also started on the stepside decal.

Re: New Suburban decal

I will eventually get the tailgate one, even though I don't have my Sub anymore. Will put it in with all the pics from the last 42 years we've had it.

Re: New Suburban decal

Jimmy, how do you go about making those? Computer software? I wanted the front end of my '61 GMC done (similar to your thumbnail pic) to use it for my business logo. I was going to have someone hand draw it, white outline on black paper so it can be printed on a T-shirt...

These are great... one minor adjustment... make on with the barn doors and no little circular ( turn signals ?) lights below....

Re: New Suburban decal

The little lights below are the backup lights. Both the pictures I traced had them and so does mine so I included them.

Re: New Suburban decal

Looks good, only thing I see to change is it looks like the barn door one still shows the tailgate hinges on bottom.

Re: New Suburban decal

The cut outs for the hinges are in the lower panel even on the barn door trucks.

Re: New Suburban decal

I have done sign work for a while and I hand trace pictures I find in Corel Draw using a Wacom tablet. Then I edit them till I get it to look like I want. Most pictures are not perfectly straight so you have to edit out what ever slant is in it. I have redrawn many of the old car parts decals from the 60"s and 70's for use on old racecars and just enjoy doing the old stuff.

Re: New Suburban decal

Last part of doing them is to print some. Plan to do that this weekend. If they look good in vinyl I will have them available next week.
