Was wondering what everyones opinion would be if I was to have WIX logo and web address placed in decal form on the sides of the wagon?

Let me know...as well as Ryan and Scott!!!!

Whatever you put on it, make sure you add nose art! A nice brunette in a sheer nightie ala Vargas with a cool name like, say "Conventional Wisdom"(get it- you've got a conventional as opposed to cab-over tractor...) and maybe a few mission marks...

That's a really great idea.

I like the idea of having little warbird details like kill markers. Maybe you could do mission markers too!

Anyways, I'm all for it.

Cheers,

David

Can't wait to show off the WIX logo....it will give me an excuse to fire up the C.B. more often...I trust that you'll come up with a way cool design..and no, I will not be biased and insist that a Poon be involved!!!

But I am trying to figure out how to graft the horiz. stab, elevators, vert fin and rudders on the Freightshaker!!

Let me know when you come up with what you want. Send it off to the printers, and I will pay to have the decals or vinyl graphics made...but you'd better put 'em on though....

Frame mounted airtanks with fins would look just like 250 pounders!
Illustrating your VIN, DOT, and GVW lettering in a air force s/n style script would look cool!

I thought it would be cool a few years back, and made two fake missles, about 7-8 foot long, out of PVC and plywood. Mounted them on the steps over the fuel tanks. One had lettering that said "To Bill and Hillary", the other said "Got Road Rage?" D.O.T. in Illinois didn't see the humor and had me remove them on the spot...They cought me at the Bobber truck stop in Effingham
