Would any of you CCFans be interested in these signs made up on a smaller scale? Say 1'X 3',2'X 4', 3' X 5' ????
I deliever to a plastic forming place,Hoffman Plasti-Form,here in High Point,NC.Thay make all the BK,Pizza Hut,KFC,etc.,signs. If anyone is up for it, I will ask what they could do on these,and see what we can come up with. Of course,you would have to put your own light in it, maybe build a wood frame, or I can see if they can enclose it completely in the back except for a light. Let me know and in the meantime I'll ask them about this project. I go to 3 different places like this so I might let them compete for the contract.

That is a pretty cool idea. I'd be interested.
The smaller 12"x36" or so makes more sense to me. That size would work in the garage, office or above the head board. Newer logos might be cool too. I'd go for a Air/Nautiques also. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

These signs are made by first screen printing the graphic, then vacuum forming the plastic. They would probably charge in excess of $500 in screens alone for a 2-3 color trap style graphic. Just keep this in mind...
Now comes the press dies to form the plastic in the size you want.. Uhmmm can you say $$$$$$$ Perhaps you want to ask the guy if he has dies that are close to what you're looking for size wise, and then create your graphic around it. To make it more attractive to the maker, i'd solidify on one or two and have a couple of guys for each, or you're going to pay through the nose as "one-offs"... I sold printing presses to sign makers like this.. Old technology, but it still produces some cool signs....

I was thinking of the older Air Nautiques logo
Since these probably wouldn't be used in a lamp fixture and none of the graphic elements are raised, how about printing them on flat plastic? Would save quite a bit of money in labor and tooling. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

Hey Pauly,
Was just at Zmans last night and mentioned that I need the artwork. We will get them done this winter. Both decals and shirts. As far as the signs, I really like the old style ones a lot. I have my big 502 mile post sign in my shop already. Mike ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

That's great to hear! Skierox and I will need two XL's with alot of python on it! Big, loud and proud! Keep me posted and tell the Z-man Hello! I thought that he had joined the site, but not sure what happened there? ------------- mailto:mrfurymn.8124@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow - Pauly-Banana http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4102&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - My 1983 Nautique <b |

Pauly, he is a member, just not too active. He has a lot going on with his Ducati's and his 280Z project.
I just need to get the artwork from him and we can do what we want with them. Figure just pop a few option on Cafepress, order some stuff, and then pull them off. Big Python representation !! ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

He is resto-modding a beautiful late 70's Datsun 280Z. That is part of how he got the name the Zman. He had like a dozen of these cars back in his youth. Has been working on it for about a year. It is just about to go to paint. Super cool car. ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

That is a really cool and unique car! I hope that it turns out the way he wants. I can't wait to see some updates on your 1968!

Pauly,
It will. He is pretty much done except for paint. The foam was terrible. 15 bags 400+ lbs, maybe as bad as 500. Stringers are really bad in a couple spots. Bad in most. Good nowhere. Going to start on the replacing them in a few weeks. I will keep bugging Z about the artwork. ------------- Mike N 1968 Mustang |

OK guys. When I first mentioned this to the owner,I told her I was in no hurry on this. I did a delievery today and as soon as she saw me she said oh no,you were wanting me to get you some figures. I told her that still no hurry. She says it's been really busy, and she'll try to get me some quotes soon. I told her just to let me know whenever. So that's where I'm at on this. Hopefully it won't be too bad. She said that if I could get a sizeable amount of orders after she does the figures, she might not charge for the template. So I haven't forgotten about this.
Thanks, Marty ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |

I'll take one of the classic versions you posted. I would prefer the blue one but either would be cool. Price matters let us know.

Hey guys. She came back with some figures! I'm working it out with her on something though. Guys go measure where you would put one of these signs and get back to me on the measurements. I told her a 2foot X 3foot at first. I think that would be a little big. How about a 1 foot X 3 foot---- or 15 inches by 36 inches. This smaller version would be considerably cheaper.It would be a flat acrylic panel and then you would have to build your own frame or box with a light in it,not unless some of you guys that are woodworkers would build them. I'll get back to you when she comes up with the new figures. How many items to order? Start chime-ing in with if you'll want to get one. ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |

Marty,
One of these sure would look great in my new shop and I've been thinking about it but, a few things are coming to mind. First, this isn't ment to criticize the idea because it sure is great and the same with your efforts promoting CC. Its obvious that everyone wants a different sign and even different sizes. Considering your shop is now talking about a flat panel and we would need to build our own frames, each person may be better off just sticking their own decals onto their own acrylic. Since these signs would most likely be interiors, even the cheap "off the home computer/printer" decals would work. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Pete, this is a great idea, except the concept for me would be to run 36" shop light behind it in a wooden frame and back light it.. The decals on white vinyl would be opaque and wouldn't show through.. I used to make these for displaying the front panels of coke machines we used to print for clients... They come out great with simple florescent lights behind them with 'corded 110 power. Marty, If they are going to form this out of white PET or acrylic, ask that it be made translucent enough for back-lighting. Solidify on a size that would accommodate a plug and play dual florescent garage light set up from Depot etc.. The rest is up to the screen printed graphics that should account for screen set up charges and depending on the number of colors will determine the final price. In my opinion you need to just ask this poor estimator to just cost out the job based on a size and a 2-3 color graphic. The price will follow.. I'm up for one !!!

Dave, Sorry I was thinking of lighting with the home built frames but wasn't explicit enough. The last time I was over at my sign shop was when I was picking up the X from getting the name painted on the transom I was looking at some of their jobs in process. Several were internal lighted with translucent panels and graphics. I noticed they were using vinyl and mentioned that I always though the graphics were done by silk screening. He said yes for large runs where the screen cost can be amortized. On short runs, they are now using translucent vinyl graphics. Instead of building the frame and trying to get a shop light in it, a person could also buy a 2'x4' ceiling surface mount. Change out the plastic and mount it on the wall. Wood framed are even a option. BTW, My sign guy (now in his 60's) grew up with his dad hand painting and lettering. It's been several years since he's held a brush so he did cheat using a Gerber mask on my boat. He didn't want to goof it up!!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Ok, I get what you're saying... Sound cool and actually a lot easier. Flat panel, with translucent vinyl in a premade light box would be cool too !!! Dave ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

OK, Guys, was told to keep it simple. The 2 x 3 was $250.I didn't like the looks of it, not proportinate.? The smaller 1 x 3 she's thinking about $100 give or take.
Yes it would be nice to get the ones that would fit perfectly in the 3 or 4 foot shop lights- but like Mojo says,I think, $$$$ Don't want to commit to anything until I get more input. So keep 'em coming in. Marty ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |
