New customer, more paint...

I received a call on a Friday, and lettered this beautiful truck on the next Monday... :)

1975 Dodge Big Horn... A tribute for a friend...

This one was very bitter sweet to work on.

A very good customer of mine bought this truck. Sercombe Trucking is based in Jackson MI. It is owned by brothers Jim and Tom Sercombe. David is Jim's oldest son and encouraged Jim to buy this tractor to show... about 3 weeks later, David unexpectedly passed away. Jim asked me to help him finish the truck in David's honor. They gave it a new coat of paint, fenders, some more chrome and polished aluminum... and some hand lettering by me...

Jim and David are way more than just customers. They have become very good friends. I am so sorry for the loss of David for the Sercombe family... I'm sure this truck is both a joy and hard to look at.


 


 

Model A door...

I went to a swap meet a few weeks ago and found this door. My Dad has a 1931 Ford Model A pickup that we grew up with, so I just couldn't resist buying a door...
She's all lettered up and on display in my Dad's farm's office.
 Old and the new... :)

1965 Ford Fairlane

I've started going to swap meets and setting up displays... It has been a very effective marking concept. I met this customer there and had a lot of fun working on his project... 





Custom Ollie...

This is my kind of tractor... polished and pinstriped!
 I even pinstriped the rear rims.


An oldy but a goody...

Dad and Ray decided to give an old truck a new coat of paint. This was bought new in 1985 by the farm... I had fun re-lettering it. :)
