    hi eddie.. great work as ever mate.. your jobs seem to be getting bigger and bigger each time you post 😉

    i feel for you mate, i hate those bars and the cold is well, freezing here in scotland 😮 its a pig to get to stick and the bars just slow you down altogether.. not a nice experience. 😕 you seem to have managed perfectly well though.. nice one 😉
    do you have someone helping you fit these days eddie? stuff like this isnt easy alone 🙄

    thanks for taking the time to post mate. 😛

    Nice one Eddie. You’ve done the right thing – ignored the Bars and produced a layout that looks good. Well done, it’s much harder to apply this way but the end result is worth it. Another happy customer 😀

    thanks rob!!! as an ex trucker, i enjoy working on trucks, thing is, i gave up lorry driving cos i was drivin 18 hours a day all over ireland north & south, now i am working just as many hours, even sundays, but at least i can wach the kids growing up 😉 & i am at home all day with the slippers on! you cant see from the picture but ther was a big pool of water just under the back doors of the trailer, i couldnt get hold of a lorry to shift the trailer a bit so i ended up tip toe in the water every time i got up & down, i did it on my own, the bloody wind was cutting me in two as well
    as loosing all the feeling in my fingers 👿 the haulage company is a new client, & needed the trailer on the road as fast as poss, so i had to jump when asked, he was well pleased & told me he has more new trucks & trailers on the way 😀 , phill your right about the bars, i think the letters always look more professional behind rather than on the bars,
    thanks for the encouragement lads, eddie

    the joys of being a sign fitter eh eddie? 😕
    its always good to stand back at the end of it and admire your work.. well i mean from the car with the heating on full pelt 😆

    alone? well you done a bloody good job, & in those conditions mate..
    well done.

    lorry driving.. after the 3 day trip i did sign fitting lately i dont wanna drive again. 😕 the best of it was when i got back the guy calls me and says. we forgot a van in birmingham and a fascia sign in stoke on trent. can you pop back down next week?
    you would think it was just down the road 😮

    anyway.. good to see more of your work mate.. 😉

    I’ve never done a truck rear with bars. I was hoping that there was some secret method for getting the letters behind them easily. Bugger.

    Crumbs!

    Good job I didn’t do the job!

    Can you imagine as the customer comes out to view his rear (Can be done with a mirror!) and there’s me with a smirk of accomplishment.

    If you think bars on a truck are difficult what about a stretched limo??

    When we took the Father in Law out as a treat we went in a stretched limo.
    free bottle of champers from the bar

    I deviate
