Totally Awesome!!!!! Love it!!!! Great job All. I gotta admit, when I saw the "Here's Your Sign" I was expecting a funny from Bill Engvall.

I will keep a lookout for ya since we run around a bit in NC also.

I still haven't had time to do my windshield banner. But I gotta ask how the heck do you get up there to install it? Do you have to climb on the hood? :eek:

Follow the directions I sent and just go from one side of the truck to the other on a step stool or small ladder. Once you get the hinge taped..it should be easy.
Or...
Park under a bridge or scaffolding. :D

I used a step ladder along side the fender with a pan in between. It wasn't nearly as long a reach as I thought it was going to be.

Well if you want me to I will try to find a bungee jump and install it that way.:D

Everybody should have one, but, feel free to get your own screen name... you don't have to get mine. :rolleyes:
That is so FUNNY, but true! Yesterday a new guy at work asked to copy my timecard, this happens all the time as we are on a bi-weekly pay period that can be confusing at times. Today I got a call from payroll asking why I turned in two timecards :confused: you guessed it the new guy copied mine exactly except his name (payroll is done by SS#) so it wasn't caught till then. :eek:
Yes please order your own screen name, or AIBIKR could get some prepaid decals soon.:D

You should add something like "Take the plung" or "Its a thrill to drive"

FYI -- you can reach all of the windshield by opening the doors and standing inside the truck. Might make it easier to install the graphics.

Thanks, AIBIKR. JC does great work. It was no problem applying, only took about 10 minutes.:)

Just curious... who's screenname is going on the driver's side? ;)

Me, me. I'm next. JC says they're on the way!

You are good, AI. No question about placement.

Mine came today!:D :D

I got home about dark, so no time to put them on today. Maybe tomorrow. I'd hate to have to wait clear until the weekend.

Thank you AIBIKR, for having this great idea and LadyRidge, for your fine work!

Congrats AI, you crossed the 500 mark since we chatted last night!

We couldn't put them on yet and it may be a few more days. It's turned cold with several snowstorms predicted. I'm hoping for a mild break this weekend.

We finally got a warm day and put our name tags on our back window!

I put a strip of masking tape on the bottom of the window to give me a line to level on and marked the half way point to center the name. We followed JC's instructions about using a piece of tape on the right as a hinge to keep the lettering in place while you peel off the outer paper.

The application tool made it easy to make solid contact and avoid air bubbles.

02-24-2006, 05:22 PM
JC, included a little something extra:

Thanks, AIBIKR, for a good idea. It's another way to personalize our truck and promote the ROC at the same time.

JC, you did great work with our name tags. Thanks, girlfriend. Thanks to Todd too!

One more big thanks to Ridgeln for sending me that awesome photo drop program to make resizing photos on a Mac a breeze. It works GREAT! It's a big time saver for me.

Hi Truckin' & BIGGUY!

Decals look great!!!! Great photos - nice to also see pics of how to do the decal application (I am so horrible at written directions - I am such a visual person!)

I love the pics of the mud flaps - they look great!

That photo resizer is nice, isn't it! (btw: the count down is on - I "should" have my MBP on Feb 28th!)

Seems to me I was promised some stickers for my mud flaps... :D

That looks great you guys. Thanks so much for the great way you represented CDC Graphics. :)
But one hint...the "hinge" actually goes in the center of the decal. After it's positioned, pull one side of the backing to the hinge and snip it away and then lay down using your squeegee tool. Then...remove the hinge and holding the balance of the decal up away from the substrate, pull off the remaining backing and apply the decal. ALWAYS use a "from the inside out motion" to avoid bubbles. I never thought of putting the hinge on the end but it looks like it worked great. Wait till I show this to Todd..he'll love it.
You guys are the best. Thanks so much. XXXXOOOO :p

Well..let me tell you. If someone promised you something and you didn't get it..you better call and complain to the boss. :D

Do you recognize these guys?;)

Call the Boss? Heck No! I wouldn't know whom to ask for at CDC: Todd, JC, or Drew!

Dorothy - I recognize those boys! I mean Ridge Rats! :D Cute, smart, boys!!!

They are vectorized pictures of your kids and will be cut in vinyl. I will be finishing them soon...they have taken many weeks of on and off work but I am almost done. Sorry..I wanted to send them all the same time.:o

What a great place for the mudflap girl. On the mud "flap"! Why didn't I think of that?

I have used Armorall and/or tire black on my mud flaps a few times. Did you have any problem getting them to stick?

I know that I used liquid dish soap and water to remove wax when I was installing my door moldings. You want the water pretty soapy. Some scrubs with a face cloth/soft shop towel and it was "clean". It might work the same for your needs.
