Gumboot Rally Theme - Racecar

[RobClubley]

Decision made - we're doing the Gumboot Rally in May. It's an automotive scavenger hunt event. The them is "Racecar"

 

I'm thinking the estate version of this:

 

 

Any better ideas?

[RobClubley]

Oh yes:

confused?! I thought you weren't doing it now

 

Never mind, all clarified now lol

[RobClubley]

We're doing the Gumboot Rally instead of the Cannonball Run

Now... where can I source huge shaded numbers for my doors and roof?

 

Will probably cut the lightning bolt from plain yellow vinyl.

Mad as a hatter... love it

[RobClubley]

Would it look weird if I use number 13 in place of the 95s?

[matt_theforce]

Now's your chance to cut up your front bumper for a widemouth and spray the mesh for the smile.

 

Keep the 95's

 

Do you still have your OEM 16" wheels that you could spray red & paint some writing on your sidewalls? (Not sure if the 16's would fit over your brakes even if you do have them?), failing that, a cheap pair of 17" steels if you can find them & paint them red

[RobClubley]

Team number officially changed to 95
Bought several Rust-Eze logos and a red sun strip to cut into an eyelid shape.

Making enquiries about lightning bolts.

This sounds awesome

I think you can get sun shades/ blinds with the eyes. Pop it in the car when your parked up

White wall tyres would be epic too

[RobClubley]

Just bought this

[Dark_Hero]

That's what I'd seen

Awesome

[RobClubley]

Exceptionally rough MS Paint sticker plans.

I'd love to get the numbers and sides like this if I can get it done for a reasonably cheap price.

Sold the 16s, but they wouldn't fit over the brakes anyway. Think I'll stick with these wheels. Got some tyre pens coming which I hope will allow me to spend ages writing "LIGHTYEAR" on each tyre

[RobClubley]

This came today.

 

 

Got a quote coming from a signwriting place for numbers.

[JerryT]

Hi Rob

No idea what it may cost but you could always try these guys here in the UK http://www.stickers4.com/index.html

[RobClubley]

Haha quote came back - $570 for numbers and lightning bolts if I can supply hi res artwork. That's nearly 300 quid. So buying yellow vinyl and making our own is the way to go!

 

I did find some suppliers of NASCAR number sets on Ebay for about US $48 + postage, so maybe $100NZ total. Still thinking making my own will be better

Got the lightning bolts measured and cut. Need to move the car so I can lay them out and paint them.

 

 

[mac11irl]

Epic. Cant wait to see the whole thing finished

[RobClubley]

Not sure why I'm working on this now as the event is in 4 months but...

 

[RobClubley]

Haven't finished the lightning bolts yet. Tyre pens arrived yesterday, need to test.

 

Now pondering how to make fake side exist exhausts

 

 

[Aspman]

Expect many many very excited under 8 boys to be waving frantically at you. My 4yr old is a massive fan of these films.

 

Side exhausts could just be spay painted bit of guttering downpipe
