Any place in Canada that designs and makes these? I'd like one for my new Dart but the car show is less than a month away.  :-\

Couldn't you get any decent graphics or sign shop to do it up?  You aren't in Ontario are you Drache because I do know a graphics local to me that I would bet could do it.

I'm in a backwater little city called Williams Lake. There is a sign shop here but they won't design it, I'd have to do that myself and take it to them but I'm not good with photoshop  :shruggy:

I saw these stands when we were at the Lingenfelter collection last year.  They are a "just right" size IMO.   They fit two 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper.    I am sure a sign shop could make the insert.

I had one done by this guy:
http://www.carshowsigns.net/gallery.php

Scroll thru his gallery, he does some really excellent work. Very artistic. He takes detail cues of the car & incorporates them into the sign. Mine is pictured on pg.7 of his gallery.
They are screened onto aluminum so they won't fade, much more durable than acrylic or foam board as other companies are using. You can wipe them with spray detailer, cleaner, etc.
I picked up an artists easel cheap off eBay that keeps the sign low to the ground and can be weighted or staked to the ground. Holds the sign securely.
I emailed him a bunch of pics to work with, and that's what he used to make my sign. Also got a front plate & t-shirt to match. Took a little while, but was worth it. He does nice work.

I had a really good result with mine the other week after you put up the Bullitt pics Drache, but the freight would kill it.
Cost was $337.50, l gave them all the design ideas and they just tweaked it a bit, looks good though.
Don't know what you guys are paying to get boards made, its a bit expensive but a one off... Am fairly happy with it.

Well a local sign place agreed to do the work... here is the first draft of what they designed....

So far I'm going to get my name removed (so if I ever sell the car the board can go with it) and want the Hooligans logo in the center and move the Downtown Service logo to the bottom corner. But I need something on the other corner to balance the whole thing out.

Any ideas?
