Popular Post munzieb Posted July 7, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 A few years ago I was at a local car show and was impressed with a 1953 Cadillac convertible. The yellow color and all that chrome really looked great. I found my original picture and started my pixel gobbling designing. I eliminated the shadow on the front but added more lines than needed. (Started taking them out as I started cutting, things got a little thin!) Some of the reflection on the chrome threw me a little too. I always cut the text first in case I screw it up. I did! The "3" upper internal loop was a little too fancy and it fell out... Tried, but couldn't glue it back in. Started again and now have a piece for another project. Font is English 157 BT TTF. The plaque cutting is 1/8" BBPW with a 1/4" backer and is 18" x 12". Love my UPS store for enlargement/copies $1.36 for 4 on gloss card stock. Time to give the cars a rest. Working on a portrait for my sister and still have several pieces of 1/4 and 1/2" stock for boxes I need to use up.

trackman Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 These old cars, an trucks, was made when you could tell a Ford from a Chev from a Buick from a Pontiac etc going away from you at the old speed limit of 65 mph. Now I can’t tell one from another setting still without reading the name on it. Nice job on it! munzieb and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCtoolguy Posted July 8, 2019 Report Share Posted July 8, 2019 I fell in love with the 53 Cad years ago. I found a beautiful one that had been "street-rodded" with all updated drivetrain and accessories but there was no way I could afford the price. So, your picture will have to suffice. Great job. Thanks for posting. danny and munzieb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
