    Our thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 We have mixed feelings about posting more tank videos right now so this project is on pause for the time being.

    Man the dude does amazing vintage painting. While giving it the destressed look it looks like he painted it 30 yrs ago, He's good at his craft. The Sherminator is looking so cool. You nailed it, Rich.

    Beautiful! There's nothing like proper signwriting, there's a few companies around here that still have their trucks hand-painted, and they're by far the best turned out rigs in the county! I've dabbled enough to know just how skilled the job is, so SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SIGNPAINTERS!

    I cant lie, I miss the days before vinyl, and the signman ruled the towns. Vehicles, store fronts, it was all art, style and personal. Late 80s, I was a kid into BMX and other fun stuff, and a friends dad was a local sign guy, had a two tone van with "Simple Signman" on the side front to back 70s style. It was super cool. His name was Mike also, kind of funny. He used to do all the local stores, vehicles, etc. Its an art that needs to come back to the fore front. Vinyl just isn't the same. Mike, well done sir, pretty cool to follow along in the video!
