A.G.A.R. Not an E BODY

[anlauto]

I suppose....I'm just glad that though the years of doing this I've worked with some great body shops that have turned cars out at a reasonable rate and I've never encountered the "body shop jail" horror stories I hear so many deal with...

Metal work all buttoned up, now on to the body and paint work, already well underway...
However I was told today they want a new door skin for the DS

 A while back we had a member selling a Hemicuda accused of "lying about his tires" .....I like the idea so much I thought I would lie about mine as well...

These 17" PolyGlas GT's never look so good ......Oops I mean these NITTO NT555's

Cool, What paint did you use? How did you prep the surface?

  Seems to me the letters are crowded together especially the gooodyear

Oh, I'm sorry Brad, I didn't read your link....I bought mine from the same company, but I bought their stick on letters, NOT  their paint stencils .

You're 100% correct....I asked them to make the letters the correct size, but I never thought of the spacing when I ordered them....You can buy them as individual letters and do your own lay-out, but being my first time I chose to have them do the lay-out with the radius figured out etc...I really didn't notice the spacing until you pointed it out 

...but at the end of the day....it's not like anybody is going to believe they are original 17" PolyGlas tires

Alan, I looked at the website but couldn't find the ones like yours. I would be interested in talking with someone there
about a stencil, IF they were interested in producing one with the (close to) correct (1970 style) letters and spacing.
Would you know who I should contact?

I just picked up the phone and called the number on their website, super friendly and helpful guy...The ones I used are NOT stencils but thin rubber letters you glue on ...watch the videos and you'll get the idea...

[anlauto]

So....unlike the video above, the ones I bought were already on the clear transfer paper...but if they weren't, then one could easily adjust the spacing...

[anlauto]

For me the idea behind it was just for fun, I don't think the purpose is to try and duplicate PolyGlas tires so accurately that nobody can tell the difference..

They both look great Alan, making me regret my decision about passing it on to you  just kidding
