Amer-team: Nice machine you have there. Who's cutting the vinyl?

Nice looking jeep. You have a great starter vehicle there.
Mine is a 1953. Serial number 68014. Hood number is 20997729. This is an original unrestored vehicle. The letters are applied with the vinyl markings of the Vietnam era.

Does anyone make these vinyl decals? I know of a couple people making vinyl decals but the font is all wrong and they are too thin. My M715 has the original decals, but I need some for the M725 and M726, and the M38a1 for that matter. Mine is 2/54 del. and reg. number starting in 20100xxxx

David Allen Racing makes masks and vinyl sets

Decal sets would be $50(Jeep) + $25(trailer) = $75 total including shipping.
Paint mask sets are $75(Jeep) + $45(trailer) = $120 total

You can follow the directions from my decal page on how to order and pay, http://www.i2k.com/~schwarzd/order.htm

I forgot and it was too dark the other night, but it has a 12/53 date. Except for touch up on the stars and a few rusty spots, this jeep is original. I got it about 24 years ago from a rural fire department and it has a couple of updates, the vinyl numbers and the vinyl seat covers of the Vietnam era.

Here's my A1..Only had it about a month. the markings (to the jeep) are correct . the size not. But I only have a box of deuce/5ton stencills till later. But we wanted to get this ready (pre rally season actually) to support a charity meeting this weekend (rain forcast..No matter) Where I am supporting (and collecting) for a fund for a ten year old boy suffering "Spastic Diplegia Cerebral Palsy.). The fund raise ( www.joelsquest.co.uk) is enable him to travel to the U.S.A. for a life changing operation....I wonder if any S.S. members might just meet up to encourage him or just say hello when we get him there. just a thought. I will post pictures of the meet on return from the event. I wanted to take my M62 wrecker truck but the organisers took fright saying it's too large.
Hence the "rush" to prepare a suitable (military looking) attraction in time.

You have a nice looking M38A1 there.
In the photo of my jeep. The driver is Mary Kallenberger, medic with the 1 Med. Bn, 1st Division 65 - 66 out at Ft. Riley. The gentleman in the back seat is Luther Davis, 513 PIR, 17th AB, WW2 in the Battle of the Bulge. And the copilot is Alice Miller, female uniform collector extraordinaire, portraying a Korean War era nurse.

 

[Amer-team]

What sort of display were you thinking of? A little something we could put out on a ground cloth? Might go to WW2 then or Vietnam.
