Son of Stink

[Gjeep]

Long time no update!

 

Don’t get me wrong, I was mostly excited to apply ‘Chief’ graphics to my stroker build – but something kept nagging in the back of my mind that it just wasn’t right for the build. I went all out on the interior. Something familiar but different and I needed to do the same on the exterior. Plus, my ’91 MJ will be a Chief and will look right especially with those vector wheels echoing the Chief stripes. Gotta be.  

 

Settling into 5.5 overgrown Oregon acres takes a bit. Ton of work. But, every week I faithfully start the little beast looking forward to getting back to it some day. (Once my ’91 MJ runner gets done that is – also sitting in the garage waiting on me.) This week was the week though to figure out the graphics – forced my inspiration by reaching out to several online vendors, but deciding that a local guy would be best. Just easier to work person to person. It pushed me to finally put sharpie to paper and doodle, over and over and over again. A good pile of not good enough paper was scattered on the kitchen floor. I kept narrowing down the graphic design ideas until I got here – 98% sure this the final design. The sketch is rough but you get the idea…

 

 

Lots of knocked out lettering that’s era appropriate. ‘4.6L STROKER’ will be on the last stripe closest to windshield towards the outer lower edge of the hood. ‘COMANCHE’ will be in knocked out letters on the doors. Neither letterset will be ginormous, opting instead for subtle yet visible. Both the nose and tailgate ‘Jeep’ lettering will be knocked out, with the center area of the gate blacked out. Getting there. The graphic production guy will be out to the house second week of September to take photo’s of the MJ for the onscreen design work.
