I wonder how much it would cost to have it cast and chromed, like an old camper emblem? :thinking:



Those are types of Fonts? I really like your name casey. I'm sure most will think it's a real name.

My next tear will be a Cars (Pixar) theme. Painted to look like radiator springs Mcqueen.

Hood ornament was in the running as was Magneto but airconditioning just looked better(to me) with these letters. That is what I really like to do cast and chromed. but I can not find anyone that wants to do it. I know a guy that is going to cut the letters for me. It should look good polished.

Casey was my dog of 16 years. Arguably the best dog that ever lived. That's not just me - many of my friends would point to her and ask their dogs why they don't act like Casey.

I always called her Caseydog, and adopted it as a handle on Car Forums. She LOVED to ride in the car, and sat in the pasenger seat like a human to see out the windows.

I'll add some pics of her to my album tonight.

dafont.com is a cool site. You just have to read the rights on each font. Most are okay for personal use only, while others can be used however you want.

BTW, making a logo for your own personal camper would qualify as "personal use".

I kind of meant the name and logo on your camper. Casey is a good name also.

I know what you mean by the best dog. I had a Black German Shepherd that I just loved. Where I work they have a Black Shepherd drug dog that looks just like her. It's kind of eery every time I see him.

Ah, I thought you were talking about the handle, "caseydog", and people thinking it is my real name. Oooops.

As for Kamper Kraft, I hope people do think it is real. I imagine there are a few people who would believe me if Itold them it is a complete, top-to-bottom restoration on a 1955 Kamper Kraft. Not many people, but it's fun when you find those trusting souls to play with. I wonder what a beautifully restored, and VERY rare, 1955 Kamper Kraft, Kampster II would fetch on eBay? :twisted:

I haven't started my build quite yet, but have named it already.

Since I am going to use as a form of recreation, release from the stresses of jobs, etc., I have dubbed it "Pressure Drop"!

Just seems appropriate.

Good One, Although I've had my pressure go up a couple times during my build :x Like 3 A/C doors and 1 1/2 Hatch doors. :lol: :lol: ;)

Scince our td is a basic 4X8 home build design with all the sleeping comforts not found in a basic tent, we named ours the Slee-Pea. Kinda corny, but it fits.[/img]

Cindy had seen an old airliner with large Bluebonnets painted on the tail. When I started talking about building the tear and painting it she was excited because she would paint Bluebonnets on it. So it was named before the first piece of wood was cut.

As everyone knows "Everythings better with Bluebonnets on it!" :lol:

So the flowers on your tear are called Bluebonnets?
Where do these flowers grow?

Steve, Obviously you've never been to Texas. The Bluebonnet is the state flower of Texas, grows wild, and blooms in the spring. I forget the exact number, but Texas has hundreds of varieties of wild flowers, but the bluebonnet seems to be the most prolific.
