Jeff what is the trick to getting the vinyl stickers on perfectly straight?

I used a long t-square from the bottom of the red section to measure up and mark where the bottom of the decal should be in several places. Then I used blue painters tape to make a straight line across my marks. You can see through the transfer paper enough to see the blue tape to use it is a guide for the bottom of your letters. I didn't bother with the hinge method to apply the decals I just did it by hand.

I picked up a 4 slot big red just like yours earlier in the year. Looks like things are going well in your restoration. Keep us updated with the progress! I'd like to get some ideas for restoring my cab!

The paint looks good! How much did a gallon of that cost? I have a source to get full length vinyl with logos printed for about 50 a side. Trying to decide which to do. The vinyl sample they sent me is pretty spot on I slapped it on the side of the cab to compare and unless you are really close you cant even spot it. I guess paint is easier to touch up later if it gets a scratch where vinyl you are screwed if it gets damaged.
Jasens Customs also does the stickers for the arrows above the coin doors also. He also makes a stencil for the sides if you want to paint them on or touch up existing ones.

Very nice job on the paint and decals. Second Big Red, I'm jealous as I'm still having an issue locating one locally in Florida. I have been looking for 2 years now.

I don't think you need a gallon, a quart should do just fine. I think a quart was around $15.

I agree with everyone else, the color match looks really solid. The guy I bought my two slot from gave me a can of grenadine paint, but after seeing what grenadine looks like next to your custom color, I might need to do some more digging myself. Thanks!
