My Dad and brother's fleet...

I just re-lettered the blue delivery truck in the front, it's a 1995 that they just had restored. The two older grain trucks in the center were restored about 5 years ago. Everything is hand painted except the giant "Smith Bros" logo on the delivery truck.

I'm very proud of the family I come from, and they fact that they are farmers. They work so hard to provide food for our country. Farmers are the un-sung hero's of our day. Without them... we'd all go... hungry.

The past 3 years I have helped harvest field corn on the farm. These become my baby's for about a month, so a few weeks ago I spent some time dressing them up. I painted the rims, and trimmed the wheels, I also painted the front bumpers and one of the grills. Hey, if I'm running it, it's gotta look good. ;)

This was fun. I put some very subtle stripes on this very loud truck... I pulled the interior colors out on the body...




Some building lettering...

This was a fun job to work on. I lettered this building 14 years ago when my daughter Ava was a newborn. A few months ago, she helped me letter it again. I used my brothers delivery truck as a scaffold, and Ava and I lettered the building up... She did a great job, and it was a lot of fun working with her.




Some more paint...

This is all hand painted.





Pretty Pete...

All of this truck is hand painted except for the "Ergon" lettering.




2nd time in 15 years...

This was the 2nd time I lettered and striped this truck in the past 15 years. It looks totally different from the first time I did it...
