roscoemi 245 #8 Posted May 5, 2014 Excellent job Jake! I'm waiting to see how you do the hood letters, been avoiding them on P'Chop's Ranger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,556 #9 Posted May 5, 2014 Excellent job Jake! I'm waiting to see how you do the hood letters, been avoiding them on P'Chop's Ranger. Thanks all for the kind replies! and roscoemi I will probably end up paying somebody to do it, I don't want to do it myself. lol. I was thinking about seeing if terry could make a decal for them?

roscoemi 245 #10 Posted May 5, 2014 I painted them white and then tried to mask them while shooting the red, got real aggravating real fast. I yanked the tape and gave up! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoreau 658 #11 Posted May 5, 2014 Try a white paint pen Jake, That's the trick I learned from a few on the site. Works great and is easy to do. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hammerhead 817 #17 Posted May 5, 2014 Good looking 1968 Lawn Ranger! Good job on the restoration! I like the back tires too. The seat looks good but they had a different seat for 1968, it is probably hard to find that style though, it had the seperate back rest on them and the WH logo too. Cool little machine for sure! The 1968 Lawn Ranger had a few one year only parts on it like the 3 spoke steering wheel and the decals on the side of the hood and the seat I mentioned. I think the front tire treads were different from the previous years too. You are getting alot done this year, keep up the good work! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdleach 525 #18 Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) Looks great!! I think that poor unloved carcass in the background is feeling very left out . Mike........... That's exactly what I was thinking.

squonk 41,458 #20 Posted May 5, 2014 Looks awesome! Smear the entire area of the hood letters with rubber cement. Let dry. Rub the cement off of the flat part of the paint. Paint the letters with your choice of color. Let dry. Then rub off the remaining cement. done. Cheap liquid masker. If this crotchety untalented old fool can do it, anybody can! Old artist trick. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
