My new "cool" rig

I got this idea from one of my sign catalogs. Since there is a some major competition in town, a good sign guy with a "cool" wrapped vehicle, I thought I should get more noticed. I have some details to finish, but almost done. Oh, the other side isn't started yet.

That looks really nice. That really brings out the "grrrrrr" in your business. I first saw those type of graphics when I was down in Loma Linda last spring, and I thought they were really cool. There are some really neat ideas out there. Is this some type of heat shrink process? Can you make your own graphics or do you have to order them?

This is so cool. A great way to have two cars in one without paying extra for insurance or car payment. Mine would be a mustang.

Jimbo, loved the pictures. We had a really great time with you and the kids.

it would make it "look" like a million + bucks.

I made the pattern myself, it's easy. Just take a photo, expand it to full size in my program, switch to wire frame and overlay the desired vehicle, then trace. There's a couple ways to do this, I chose the cheap one. Paint is far cheaper than the heat stretchable; re-positional vinyl. I used the paint, then detailed it out with vinyl pieces. I couldn't use a Buggati image because it's a mid-engine, so too far forward. I din't want to use a mustang cause it's a Ford, and might cause my Dodge to break down.

You lost me at "it's easy."

I had to look at this twice which, I guess, is the point. Good work. Can't wait to see it up close. Maybe you and the little wifey need to take this rig out on the road (to C.City???)

I know it' our turn, but maybe you and the little hubby should come and take it for a test drive. I'm not sure I'd like to drive it that far; it's old yaknow. Just kidding about Fords, I gotta watch what I say, you have one, don't you? Actually Bonnie, this looks a bit like a 67 to 69 mustang fastback; right? Jim, next time, I'll bring my computer and show you, then you can make a Dodge out of a Ford!
