My first attempt at 'patina' graphics on my 67 C/10 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BBEEP · 11-06-2009, 05:42 PM

I built an old 'gas station' to store my yard equipment out back of the barn. Got an old sign from Halsey, Or, --the old "ARROW GARAGE". When I picked up my 67 c/10, 1-owner this summer, I knew what I wanted to do, but didn't want to pay someone to do it! So, I figured I would try it myself!

cool!

bigguy69 · 11-06-2009, 10:18 PM

awsome!

Zoomin · 11-06-2009, 11:24 PM

Nice work! ANd the neat part is, it will get even better with age.

unclewatts · 11-06-2009, 11:36 PM

Looks great! I love it. Now convert your truck to a tow truck/wrecker.

red71c10 · 11-07-2009, 12:22 AM

Good job! Love that truck!

prostreetC-10 · 11-07-2009, 12:32 PM

LOL.....that's actuall pretty darn good. It's really hard to get the age of the lettering to look like the age/condition of the truck.

I could do my letters with a ball peen hammer and it would look right!

UltraBlue71 · 11-07-2009, 12:36 PM

right on! Daddy Likey!

BBEEP · 11-07-2009, 08:18 PM

HA HA! Only one other guy noticed when I drove the truck around with the old caps! I traded them to a Ford guy, straight up for the moons. They even have a Chevy bowtie embossed in the center. I believe they are off of an early 70's 6-cylinder Chevelle.
