Signs! Hieroglphics found on the Cyclops!!!
Business was slow, so I took the Cyclops (64') to my painter today to remove some old rattle can primer and reveal the obvious patina,......this is what he found..... ancient hieroglyphics from a past life as a "Sign's" shop truck. It doesn't get any cooler than this!!!!
He got tired of me looking over his shoulder telling him to be careful, so he made me leave for a while. And just think, I came close to selling this baby twice last week.

Re: Signs! Hieroglphics found on the Cyclops!!!
That's cool! I really like the lettering shape and color, especially against the white.
Have one of your striping/lettering guys go back over it with some One-Shot thinned out with a LOT of mineral spirits. Go over it one time, leave the brush marks in it, and call it good. You can knock it back with some mineral spirits and a Scotchbrite to take a little of the gloss out of it when it dries. I'm anxious to see what else pops up during the "excavation" process!

Amazing! I didn't know that you could take primer off like that. It looks so good.

Big if! Replace the stock grill with a 63' grill and some chrome bumpers, and "hopefully" have it running by this weekend or next weekend.
