i was wondering.

now, the four is gonna be the kind of four that is on there allready but bigger, it is just i have lost that kind of font (damit damit damit damit)

Image

this four though
Image

door use to look like this
Image

at the moment like this

Image

doing a cheap and nasty job, :oops: but atleast it is an improvement.

i sanded of the loose rust, used rust converter on the rest, filled in all the holes, then sanded them down, then i filled in more holes and sanded them down then finally i filled in more holes and sanded them down, now i am applying layers of paint from a can, fun fun fun. so the "4" is deffinately there and so is "molly" down the boottom is gonna say the thing which is written on the sticker on the rocker cover. the bit below the top hinge says "lucas (in lucas font) [underneath] wiring and electronic gizmos"

there will be space for two other things when i improve molly more, basically cheapo brand name style like you see on rice burners.

(*not everything is to exact scale)

Thats looks pretty sweet...
the only problem i can see is getting the stuff written in smaller fonts look neat.

will you be using custom decals for all the writing? or will you be spraying it on with a stencil?

Decals would look a lot better than cutting a stencil and painting them , not to mention being so much quicker , have you cut stencils out for something like that before , it takes forever ...

after much consideration i will look into it, but can anyone give me a ball park figure as to how much decals would cost? and would i have to buy bulk? cause then it is kinda bad.

unsure on cost, but most sticker places will happily give you a quote. Go see a few.
