My New '68 Camaro Z/28 Butternut Yellow

Ditto on White Post for brakes. They did the master cylinder on my vette. It leaked after about 8 or 10 years. I called and told them yes I did have the receipt. Did again for free.

You are correct. Closed down now. I think I read a few years ago. D

Story board complete. Turned out pretty good... 18" X 24"... Gets the point across.. Had fun designing it     Danny

Danny, Very nice, I like the layout.

[BULLITT65]

Is that mounted on plastic or aluminum?

[dannystarr]

Thanx, I had American flags in there, and "Made in USA" and the like. It started looking to gaudy and full. So cleaned it up a bit. Kurt was a big help on info, and making sure I didn't pile on too much obvious info. If you are familiar with these cars, and can read fairly well... it takes about 60 seconds to read. It is mounted on plastic poster board about a 1/4" thick. I didn't think of aluminum. I have never seen that done. Is that better in wet weather during display? ... Danny

I put one together for my wife for shows with the Mustang, and it was mounted on poster board. It has developed wrinkles along the edges. I am thinking of doing a new one mounted on aluminum. I think the coast at my local shop is around $100. But its $80 for plastic, so I was just curious if you liked the final product or if you would have gone with aluminum if you had the option.

i work in a print shop, im going to have a board done similar to Danny`s. i figure the cost of ink is something like 50 cents to a dollar. we have several substrates to chose from. im planning on 1/4" plexiglass for mine. i might be able to do freebies for anybody interested but you would have to send a file with all the info. that way i can just send the complete file to the digital printer and bingo !!! we have thin aluminum sheets, 1/4" plastic, 3/16" paper/foam artist board and many more types to chose from. still planning on the layout for mine. oh, the ink is UV so should last many years even if exposed to the sun. we also have digital laser cutters and routers so the edges can be rounded or square with no burrs or rough edges.

I think it turned out ok and seems to be attached well. I have never done one before. I guess if I knew of the aluminum I might look into it for sustainability and the like. I will keep an eye on it. I won't be at any shows until next year in spring. It's in a large bag lightly wrapped up and in the trunk of the car in a Northern CA garage. Now that I think of it, it gets pretty cold in their, I think I will put it in the girlfriends house in the closet. I did most of the work so the cost was $35. For that price I can do one a year for the next 10 years  

Cam69aro,
What a nice selection of products. Mine is a patented design, so I don't wanna see any similarities. LOL!  I get to be the first freebie recipient?    Check it all out and see what you think what would be the best longest lasting nicest looking set-up and post it here. I am curious about all the options. I have to say, I probably spent 4 hours on mine total. Revisiting it and making changes. It's not an easy 15 minute project. Danny

That looks very nice Danny. Very professional

I've seen the boards blow over and hit the car. It put a nice ding in a newly restored Z.

Danny,
im just going to make the guys in the pre-press dept. do all the photoshop work etc. i`ll just give them a rough text sheet and lay-out plan. they are pretty creative and it`s slow time at work until about the new year. im thinking about the 1/4" clear plexy, maybe do the back side glossy black with the text on the front side. i thought aluminum but not sure, it looks cool with the brushed finish. we have some nice size aluminum sheets left over from the Polaris sports job we did. Indian motorcycles used some cool veneered plywood and we have some of that too. so just tire kicking but will post when i get it done, hoping in the next few weeks. very nice looking display board Danny, i`ll make sure not to copy yours to the T, lol

6667,
Thanx, like I mentioned , it was fun. I think I will always have mine under the front of the hood sitting on the Rad. support. And just bring the hood down on it. No way to blow away. I like it up high like that, instead of on the ground next to the car. I have also seen them in big plastic holders next to the car. But still, hard to read.

Cam69aro, I am sure you will get plenty creative. I have seen them with way to many pictures all at a bastard angle all over the board. Lots of print color changes and font sizes. Not for me.. D
