Drew's OEM Rte 66 Restore- IN FINAL STAGES

[fuzzysnuggleduck]

To understand the label don't think "gain". Think "sensitivity".

[ttocs]

I just want to say that it looks great man. I could not care less about that little of a detail as I have never looked at the writting around the gain other then where to stick the screw driver..

Hi Matt
Can you make the black letters in red.
Could you send me something.
I do a Route 66 in FAS design but still need the label.
Could you help me PLEASE.
Regards Geri

OKAY GUYS [Drew]

Final proofing here - i think and or hopefully!


have a look- think were about as close as i can get with out doing any more.

if that made sense...?



if perhaps you guys notice... take example the gain icons... i did the outer ring darker than the inner ring just like OEM... and went to bold on the text- which matched a lil better... brought the whole top part down to the line closer... etc etc etc etc

Agreed ...and the resto stuff looks great Matt , mine will be in the mail shortly.

[spiritofnorway]

Beautiful work

[mhyde71]

those are some pretty ugly fingers arent they!??!?!


the minus signs seem a lil short to me now.

like i said you could prolly keep going all day long with finding differences and stuff... but for most part i think were spot on.

drew go head rubber stamp it for us... and i will get it on!

Man I can't believe how good that transfer material looks, considering how much easier and cheaper it is than silk screening!

[oldschoolfan]

Looks flipping awesome. Now I am really excited to see it in person!

[mhyde71]

hey thanks guys! but yeah i mean pics dont do it 100% justice... looks great thru pics- but in person it is so crisp and clear - better than new - i mean i guess its new, and cant really get much better than that... but yeah for the cost and time involed - hands down its a winner against SS'ing or anything else- PLUS whats more is that the artwork (remember) will be clear coated over it- so even with traditional means of SS'ing- the artwork is exposed to outside elements... whereas this process it is not- it's protected by the clear coat- so all around it is the better choice IYAM

Another winner from mhyde71 ....

Looking NICCEEEE !

[fuzzysnuggleduck]

That looks really, really nice.

[mhyde71]

thanks guys for the kind words- thats cool- i appreciate it! thx!

just wish i could do them quicker...but it is what it is- and i suppose with/over time and experience- i'll get real good with it and more streamline and stuff.

[thingy]

beautiful work mate

[MW3]

Well done!

[HifiDon]

Great Job!!

[longboard]

dam it we so need another one of you over here in the uk there so many amps need your love over here too!!

dam good work!!

[mhyde71]

hey thanks guys! i really appreciate it... just wish i have two more of me and it was not winter... heating the shop has proven to be a major expense and actually the weather kinda dictates when i can work or not due to the lack of insulation in the building which i am working on (but i digress)

just as a heads up kinda deal as far as putting these artwork transfers on... i may have come up with a different process, that may net even better results or something- not sure yet...... but in short it involves laying down a everything as i have been... but once artwork is on... instead of clear coating it with powder... i am contemplating about using a ceramic clear coat which is air dry versus running it back through the oven with the artwork on it... i think it will net better results as the artwork wont have to go through the oven cure schedule and potentially get compromised as it did a lil with drews cover once i cleared and cure it....

not bad in a bad way- but thinking that air dry clear ceramic clear coat would be fab as it is 10X more durable and doesnt have to go thru the oven cure schedule...

ill keep guys posted.
