Pete M Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 this is our final version that will be used on the card on the flowers for tomorrow's funeral service. we now have some time to think about any final alterations for the tribute stickers. (aside from putting the ".com" back of course) I've given some thought to adding words (as I did to the flower card), but nothing I've come up with ever feels right for the sticker. I can't imagine anyone seeing it that doesn't already recognize his truck will ever get help from adding in words. I dunno. it feels like the truck image itself will be the best way to honor him. We all know what it means. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rokinn Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Perfect! Only thing missing is a view of the chrome bumpers but one can't have everything. Good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strokermjcomanche Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 I don't think there should be any sayings on the sticker , I think less is more . I think it's perfect Pete . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, right! the side caps are still black on the chrome bumpers. maybe a future edition will be a view of the back of the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 holy CRAP!! It just dawned on me that the sticker is a short bed! that has to be addressed for this sticker run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I make the motion that we use Don's truck for the CC logo (or at least one of the designs) on all of the cards and magnets from now on. It would be a fitting tribute to how much of a pillar he was around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the more savvy members may have noticed that for the past week the H and O in our website logo has been greyed-out to pay tribute to him.

The Camo MJ or the American Flag MJ, while both unique in their own rights don’t exist (or if they do no one knows them as well) nor do they hold a candle to Don’s MJ for representation of what this club is all about in my opinion. Don’s truck was clearly owned by an MJ enthusiast. Can’t touch the plain Red MJ version, I feel that one fills a much needed “my truck is stock and I love it the way it is” or “I just got the truck and I’m saving up to build it into what I want” roles.

Proportion wise its a swb but the fuel filler door is positioned like a long bed. If you put any other text on it, maybe just "1943-2019" or "Don HOrnbrook 1943-2019" I agree with Strokermjcomanche that less is more in this instance but having his name and dates or even just the dates tells everyone it's a tribute to someone.

I don't remember when I first caught it, but I've been removing the gas door rectangle from all 10"ers since (that plus it's a very delicate detail that doesn't always survive the weeding process). I've passed it on to Dillon that it needs to remain close to the flare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjtjnj Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Just read this after sending Don a PM. I'm very sad to hear about his passing. What a nice guy. FWIW, when I bought my 87 Laredo, it had ALL the chrome exterior stuff, and Don bought it all! It wasn't my thing. May he rest in peace, God bless him.

Pete M Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 final version. a huge thanks to MoparBrown for lending his skills to this endeavor if there are no other ideas for improvement, I'll send this on to the sticker guy and see what he can do.

Keyav8r Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Thanks, Pete, for doing this. The sticker will be a fitting tribute to Don. Put me down for a couple and let me know the price so I can PayPal some money to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 just got this pic from our supplier. I'm driving north in a couple days and so he's mailing them to Michigan to meet me. I'll start a brand new thread for taking orders after I can inspect them up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
