Painting name on vintage airstream

[clancy_boy]

This is what I did to add my name to my trailer - not so permanent a thing like paint and transferable to another trailer. Just a thought to add to this thread.

Personalized Screen Door LOGO

BTW - you can have any text you want added. I can send the demensions in a PM if requested. Any laser cutting metal shop can do this.

Attaching a photo this time......

AHHH. Seasoned minds think alike. I too sported a name on my 1951 Merc ragtop in the '50s. And by recent chance I was thinking of doing the same to our Trade Wind. In fact I painted the name on my car as also to several other members of my 'hot rod' club.....gotta find those pictures...

Melissa & Roman

I like it!!! I am going to crack open photoshop this morning!

Just go with your first names, if you don't feel like listing both last names ... Those are all that really matter, anyway.

I really like the idea of using removable vinyl lettering. I may have to crack open InDesign or Photoshop, as well ...

Get married.....it's a fun thing. However, much to Bob's displeasure, I did not change my name. At my age it's just not worth the hassel. He does not agree.

Post #7 asked if it was me holding the Merry Christmas sign in the original picture? It is. The picture was taken in 1959 to put on our Christmas cards that year. I was 9 years old then.

BTW......... I was fortunate to get my Dad's WBCC #1200 that you can see in the picture because some very nice folks in Arizona reliquished it in trade for #1290. If you ever meet "Sandy" & Bettye Sanders from Green Valley, AZ, thank them for exhibiting the true Caravaner Spirit.

Since I have admitted I am the geeky looking kid in the first picture, I thought I would show a couple other shots of me at WBCC Rallies.

I'm the kid in the plaid shorts and white knee hi's looking at Wally.

And just to give you the real "cool look" of the 60's, I'm the teenager wearing the orange and white pants.

I didn't get the pictures linked properly in the last post.

Nobody else has mentioned it...Your parents trailer didn't have a suicide door. It opened against the wind.

This is my friend Jerry's 1949 Trailwind. He repainted the number 15 years ago, but the rest is all original from the very early days of the club.

Rob Baker has done this on his Soviegn, Sophia. It looks very classic in my opinion. Sorry the photo is so distance, but, trust me, it looks great.

I plan to have Anna numbered and lettered on the front curbside corner and the street side rear corner. I plan on using a font that looks back to the past. It will have #7183 in a script font, Then "Anna" the second home of the Yensan's, Baltimore, MD

As far as I'm concerned, right now you're one of the cool kids on the forums. Please keep those photos coming if you've got 'em! They're fantastic!!

If there was any reason I found in the world to justfy me getting married......
it would be so I could put a more vintage touch on our Airstream!!!
