Logo

[flyin ryan]

hey all, i'm looking for the ZR-1 logo on the rear & some sides of our cars that i can copy or cut & paste. i have my share of memorobilia but it's like GM never used that in their ad's. i've got lots of the fast/slashed writing script ( like our NETRegistry one ) but i'm looking for the other one with the boe-tie. i've got an evil plan but i can't get started:icon_scra . any help would be great. i've surfed a bunch but can't seem to find anything usable/original. thanks:hello: . Flyin.

[flyin ryan]

anyone:pray

[Bell Curve]

:confused: :icon_scra

[Kevin]

give me a few hours and I'll snap one off my rear bumper in the morning/afternoon.

Are you looking for a photo (which I can send you) or a graphics file?

Jim

[flyin ryan]

well either or...just something i can take to my sign shop. i guess a graphics file as you call it would be best. i don't want them to do any artwork or clean-up on the image if possible, just want to make it as simple as i can for them. besides our cars it's crazy i can't find this image anywhere. it's a good loolking logo IMO with the bow-tie & all.

[flyin ryan]

i'm going to try & get it off a members avatar. a few on the members list uses it. should have thought of it yesterday:???:

[QB93Z]

OK, I think i know what you are looking for. I will see what I have.
Jim

[gbrtng]

there are two avatars in the user CP, one turquoise and one blue.

[QB93Z]

How about this?

[flyin ryan]

that's pretty good! i'll give it a try:thumbsup:

[flyin ryan]

it turned out pretty good. i'm going to my sign guy tommorow & see what he thinks he can make happen.:cheers:

[flyin ryan]

i signed off on the proof for my sign guy on Friday. looks like it's going to be good. he'll be working on making my stuff next week. i'll post some pics once my plan comes together. thanks for all your help. :cheers:

[flyin ryan]

o.k. here goes first try posting pics. this is what i did with the logo. wall's are 10 feet tall. logo is 4 inches tall. some of you know i've been working on my garage addition all summer & it's finally getting close. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0548.jpg

[flyin ryan]

seems to have worked:dancing thanks to Bee & Zee for walking me through it:cheers: . the red border i painted on. i'm waiting on my lift's ( stacker's ) should be here real soon. it's been a painful project, i ain't no carpenter. still has a ways to go. thanks again for help with the logo.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0549.jpg

[bradslt5]

Very very nice indeed. good job . I am moving into a new place you for hire:mrgreen: just kiddin . but I want some please

[Z Factor]

Very nice border.

:cheers:

[QB93Z]

Very nice! You are doing a first rate job there. The logo looks great! Did you hand paint it or is it a decal?

Nice looking Z!

Jim

[flyin ryan]

the logo is a decal just the stripe is paint. i did it so it is equal space apart & it continues around the corners. i can do a couple more pics but i wanted the first ones to be far enough away to grasp the concept & perspective of what i was going for. this side i've built is 10' tall x 15.5' wide x 38' long.

[QB93Z]

Thanks for the info. Did you produce the decals yourself?

My current garage was built in the 1920's and is rather crowded. I just broke ground to build a brand new 2-car garage. I wasn't planning to finish off the inside, but seeing your pics is getting me thinking. You have done a really great job there. I can tell from the lights that you are planning to display some stuff. I would like to see more pics.

Jim

[flyin ryan]

ya, i had my decal shop that i deal with whip them up. i'm one of these guys that dosen't like to be in your face posting pictures kinda showing off, like look at me, look at me sorta thing. but if you guys want to see more i'm happy to oblige. i appreciate your interest & positive words, thanks. i'll work on more pics later today when i get home. i could never do this kind of thing because of my computer issues i have had but it seems o.k. finally.

[4DSZR1]

Looks fantastic, thanks for sharing the pictures with us. I'm in the middle of painting my garage and adding lights shelves, a basic re-organization. Is there anyway we could purchase any of the large decals from your decal shop?

Rick

[flyin ryan]

it would have to go through me because i had them do the set-up & art work for myself, but that's not a big deal. i feel the only way this deal of ours works is if we're in it together, right. so how bout' this...let's leave it for a few days & gage what kind of interest there is out in the community. i don't have a problem doing it but i'd rather do it once or twice rather than for each person individually. we'll see if anyone else is interested first, o.k.?

[Tim]

Goog Idea Ryan, What we need now is an approximate price and I think there will be some interest.

[GrayZ]

Ryan, nice job "on the border" when you drive down
to do mine, I'll buy the first beer :cheers:

[DaveK]

:thumbsup: That looks really good Ryan. Congrats on a job well done. That's really nice!

Sounds Great!

[Jeffvette]

Ryan, that looks good.

[flyin ryan]

o.k. fella's here's the operation. i'll try to explain as simply as possible. this is as you walk into my garage. my Stingray sits here 99% of the time. my little office is kinda to the right.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0550.jpg

[flyin ryan]

this is if your back is against the overhead door. the opening for the new section is straight ahead to the right.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0551.jpg

[flyin ryan]

my office. nothing fancy but it get's the job done.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0552.jpg

[flyin ryan]

this is if your standing with your back to my little office. most of what you see here i added on five years ago. if you look up to the pictures on the right that's the header for the original overhead door. on the top left that's a picture of me jumping over my cube/box van. i used to race professional moto/supercross. that's how i got my name, i was always looking for BIG air. the green Camaro under that shot is my uncle's, it's a REAL 69 C.O.P.O. car. he also has 69 L-89 vette, black on black, that's won a bunch of stuff, gold spinner etc.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0553.jpg

[DaveK]

Really nice set up you have there Ryan.

But... man that's way too tidy! :p

[flyin ryan]

more or less the same shot looking to the left. the red Stingray you keep seeing pop up is mine but every other picture hanging is a customer i've built engine's for.the engine on the stand is an NHRA legal super stocker. it's the only one in here now because i've been flat out everyday until 11:30 at night working on my addition & the dust on this side was brutal. i've got a lot of really good customers who have been waiting patiently for this to get done.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0554.jpg

[flyin ryan]

got to have a fridge, right?http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0555.jpg

[flyin ryan]

more junk. you can just see the opening to the new section to the right. there used to be a window the same size as the two straight ahead in that spot. i just cut'er straight down, the grade beam/wall in that spot was 10" thick & about 5' tall. as you look out those windows that's ground level at the window base.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0556.jpg

[flyin ryan]

a customer had this silouette of my car made for me in an edge lit design. i was impressed! that's a real carbon fibre valve cover i used to run in the past underneth. weight's like four/tenth's of a pound. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0557.jpg

[flyin ryan]

this is the main area i build engines under the rubber mat. it's not uncommon for me to have three engines lined up nose to tail being worked on at more or less the same time. remember this is my hobby/sideline deal that's kinda got out of hand. taken on a life of it's own as it were. to the right is the opening of the new section. BTW i don't do any porting here, i have a room at my real buisiness for that.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0558.jpg

[flyin ryan]

i don't need to tell you where this goes. this bench used to go straight accross to the vise. notice the black light above the opening;) .http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0559.jpg

[flyin ryan]

this used to be the outside of my house, now it's not. 60,000 BTU tube heater up top. like said before, i ain't done this side yet.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0560.jpg

[flyin ryan]

oh ya baby!!http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0562.jpg

[flyin ryan]

standing in the same spot just looking a little to the left. the big thing with my FPS logo on is the old brick covered chimney. it wasn't coming down without a fight i was destined to lose. the shelf that runs around it used to be ground level.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0561.jpg

[flyin ryan]

standing by the new garage door.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0563.jpg

[flyin ryan]

trying to make the chimney disappear wasn't easy. if you knew what used to be there it turned out alright.those chrome things hanging are my pro-jacks for my Stingray. they are a bit heavy so i attached them to the brick before the drywall went on then lined it up & poked a few holes in the jiprock & slid a sheet over the hooks in one piece. :redface: :redface: :redface: . i'm done. that's it. hope you all didn't mind. it's just too hard to grasp it in one or two pictures is the problem.:hello: http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0564.jpg

[QB93Z]

Your "garage" is awesome! Thanks for showing the pics and the descriptions. I can see why people are waiting in line to get engines rebuilt. Your attention to detail is obvious in what you have built.

Jim

[John Boothby]

Ryan, that is one fine garage! You do us car guys proud!!

[tccrab]

Ryan:

Love your garage.
It is something to be proud of.
A guy could spend a lot of time in a garage like that.

I'd like a couple of the ZR1 decals for my garage, please!

Tom

[flyin ryan]

thanks very much, i appreciate it. yes i do spend a ton of hours in here so when i did the first part when i moved in five-five & half years ago i said i want to enjoy my time in here. i think the detail is a big part of my deal with engines. that & cylinder head/intake porting, oh ya also the fact that 95% of what i do is all on pump gas. looking at it i guess i do one or two things o.k. that people like. i don't advertise or promote myself at all, i just do what i do & people find me. it's grow into something i never intended. about 80% of my time is spent doing this & 20% at my real job, i've got good people there so i let them run with it & they call upon me when needed. i'll post a couple pics when i get the lift's & have the cars on them. thanks again for your positive comments:cheers:

[HIZNHRZ]

What a garage! Very, very nice.

[win1876]

Impressive, very impressive! :handshak:

[flyin ryan]

thanks again, really appreciate it:hello: .

[flyin ryan]

i know this isn't the right spot to post exactly but i though i'd finish off the LOGO tread with an update. just finished getting my lift's up, that was fun:thumbsdo: but it's done.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0579.jpg

[flyin ryan]

another anglehttp://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0580.jpg

[flyin ryan]

if things go o.k. i'll have the Zee's in bed by tommorow. then i'll have the chance to post a couple pics. i've never had two of my cars at my place before, now i'll finally have them all. that's the reason i've never posted before, they were not at my place at the same time.http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee142/flyinryan_ZR1/IMG_0581.jpg

[Z Factor]

As if we were not already suffering from garage envy, you install several lifts.

Looks very nice indeed.:thumbsup:

:cheers:

[flyin ryan]

i'll take that as a compliment:o. it was my plan from the begining. i couldn't make my addition any wider or longer but...i could go up. as i said it was a PIA putting them together, no fun. instruction's were average, luckly i had 3/4 of an idea what i was doing. thanks Zee.:cheers: those comment's help ease the pain:mrgreen: .

[bradslt5]

very nice indeed .your garage must help ease the snowy winters. dont know if i could go that long without driving my zr1.

[QB93Z]

Very nice! Send us a pic when you get them "filled".

Tomdon't worry, you guys in CA & other warm climates have the last laugh. looking outside i see Lots of snow:cry: .

[flyin ryan]

Well now I know who outbid me on Ebay a while back lol ! GCyou might have won! when it showed up the bow-tie out line was all busted up:???: . took some work to get it back up to snuff. changed it a little while i was at. that's the last time i get involved with shipping neon. i built a base right in the wall to hold it before the drywall went up.

[Paul Workman]

Here's mine!

If I remember right the base was cracked from the get go on the auction. Wow that sucked that the bowtie was hosed as well. I have a neon guy here local I should pay him a visit lol

[flyin ryan]

Very nice! Send us a pic when you get them "filled".

Jimi just put one in the air last night. it's taking a while getting used to seeing it over five feet up. not a natural sight for me yet:happy1: . i'm sure it won't take long getting used too. the Zee's wingspan sure doesn't leave a lot extra ramp on the outside of the rear tires:redface: .
