    Fonts and art work

    If you can't find that #11 Bjorn, I have a well educated one here. :lol: If anyone has ever been in an "old timer's" (ahem - who me?) sign shop it has a distinct musty turpentine and woodsy smell, sort of akin to a old cabinet shop. Love that aroma.

    Fonts and art work

    Bjorn - I loved Trig in high school!!! If you save then import as an .eps file that is the universally accepted extension that will work in any vector format for cutting. That seems to hold true for drawings generated in Illustrator CS2 and then opening in an older Corel, Flexisign, Casmate...

    Masking Tires for Paint

    Hey now there's a great one for the tips and tricks book. In the hot rodder world after spending hours cleaning the spokes on wire wheels we'd spray Adorn Hair Spray on them. When you wash the car the water based hair spray would wash off leaving beautifully clean wires, dry and repeat with...

    Painting a cab cover?

    AS RD points out we use Krylon extensively in the sign trade to paint vinyl lettering cheaply for different effects such as a fade from one color to the next. Works quite well and lasts a long time.

    Windshield wiper motor problem resolution

    Ya know Will, I meant to call you (that day I stopped by and you fixed my wiper motor in this very same method) to tell you that you left your scribe on the front bumper (drivers side) of your deuce. I completely forgot until now. So if you are missing it, that's where it was. :lol: I B @...

    Cleaning Canvas Seat Covers?

    I think I read on the forum here (a few years ago) that if the canvas seat covers were put in the washing machine that they would self destruct. Anyone else remember that? Post Edit: Ah, found it here...

    Glandhand coupler for Deuce air hose accessory

    Which gladhand do I need/want for an airhose connecting to the rear air line on the deuce? They show a 11430, 11431, 11432 and they look the same. http://napaonline.com/MasterPages/NOLMaster.aspx?PageId=430&Keyword=gladhand&KeywordCat=Gladhand+-+H%2fD+Truck&VehCode=N

    Fuel Fill Line

    Thanks to all and a special nod for the excellent/exact references there Jeff. Going on my first loooooong distance drive this weekend and wanted to cram all the fuel in there I can. I'm really looking forward to it. Uh ..........the drive - not filling the tank at $3.45 a gal. :cry:

    Fuel Fill Line

    Ok so there is a "Fill To" line for the fuel tank (pictured from Multifuel Operators Manual). Since my Deuce is sans one of these how far down from the top is it? Why no more than the line, is it because of fuel expansion or ? Thanks
