Sal316 166 Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, that's what I told them but the customer is always right. When enough people point out the mistake to them...you will be wrong. Hope you covered yourself with the paperwork. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skarekrow 1,842 Posted October 13, 2014 Yes, that's what I told them but the customer is always right. Don't get me started.... cuz that just ain't so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sal316 166 Posted October 13, 2014 Don't get me started.... cuz that just ain't so. In my line of work. The customer is always right when I am wrong or there is grey area. If I am right, it is impossible for them to be right as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted October 13, 2014 If they're paying they're right. I point out issues but if the say do it this way I do it that way. Got mortgage payments to make so passing jobs isn't an option. Other than that it looks great 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

98crewcab 21 Posted October 13, 2014 dig it.....now do you design the whole thing from scratch? or is there a stripe that you started with and added your ba"r"acuda and 456 to it? Because, even though im not a mopar guy, it looks like it fits....like it was supposed to be there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monkey 252 Posted October 13, 2014 Nice. I agree, it looks like it was supposed to be there originally (minus the spelling lol). When you do something like that (especially around gas cap) how do you trial and error it without a lot of wasted money? Or was it just nailed the first time without any question? I ask because Im working on something for a hood and have a spot with similar issues I have to work around and dont want to waste a bunch of material.

I ask because Im working on something for a hood and have a spot with similar issues I have to work around and dont want to waste a bunch of material. Nailed it first time.. I took a photo of the car so I knew relative dimensions, I dropped it into Corel then I made a rough line drawing of the car to draw the decal. As for the gas cap just find the center point and add in your border then measure from a fixed point to center the hole. After you draw it you just trim / remove unwanted lines. Same concept used to draw in cad programs, see attached example. Untitled-2.svg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mabscotthandyman 1,410 Posted October 14, 2014 Looks great mopar had the hemi motors in the 60s those cars were bad ass( they dominated nascar for a few years) but back then muscle cars were the norm not the exception I had a 66 ford ltd that came from the factory with a 390 cubic inch - 375 horse power motor my wife hated it because I was still young then and made use of all 375 horses lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

busterbay 326 Posted October 14, 2014 I love the old notchback Barracuda.Nice job on the decal work, Cal When I was a kid a guy down the road had one ('69 I think) for sale for almost a year price - $800. Dad never did let me buy it.... I think it had something to do with it having a 6 pack. Boy was it clean, typical 60's dark green.

Go-C Graphics 856 Posted October 14, 2014 lol Im old and my GTO still has 400hp...Wife hates it cause I still drive like Im young. Stashing away for a supercharged rebuild Nice........ I've started my business for one thing........ Earn money for car parts. I don't need to do this because my day job more then pays my bills. I bought the car........ 2007 300 SRT8 425hp Now I'm saving for the supercharger........ 600hp Rough guess is 6 months. Damn engagment ring has slowed my pace alittle. LOL If she's not careful the supercharger will come before the ring. HEHE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
