Speedometer Progress


Recommended Posts

Here is a scan of what I have done so far with the new face for my E series speedo.

The area left out in the scan is what was rusted over on the original face so, I am saving the hard part for last.

I need another logo, this is the only one I had in my stock logos, I need a good copy of the old style logo with the tail under the Mack. Anybody got a good B/W one?

I would like some feedback if anybody has any!

Keep in mind this is just a scan, the quality on the real thing is much better, I am doing it at 1800 dpi.

Hi david

Never even herd of vector format, LOL????

I used photo shop a few years ago on my old PC and dont remember seeing that style format??

Vector files are line drawings, if you look at the file you posted in wireframe mode it shows up as pixels,

if you view a vector file in wireframe it will show up as lines.

I need a vector file because I will be using a plotter to cut the vinyl which I will then use to make a screen

so I can print directly onto tho old face. Graphics programs like Adobe Illastraiter and Corel Draw are used to make vector files. I hope this explains it.

I subscribe to a corparate logo vending service but, they only have the latest logos on file.

I can use what you gave me and, since the logo on the face is so small I will not have to edit it as much.

Evidently I have too much time on my hands, I would not even attempt this for a customer beacuse I would not make any money due to the time involved, But nothing is to much for my old Mack!

Thanks again for the file
