Yes, he is making changes to the front stencils, but not sure about the copyright info.

Was there an issue with the copyright AI file I sent you?

No, it was perfect.  I just wasn't able to find someone to print it.  Had two groups that would do it, but it wasn't high on their list so they wouldn't get to it for a while.

I understand. I guess I had an advantage with my local printers as my sister in law used to work there and I have been friends with the owner for a long time. I guess that walking in and handing them a file, and watching them print it right then and there is a privilege and not how these places normally do business. I really had no idea. Sorry you couldn't get it made up in time, but it looks great as is!

I was really disappointed with the orange peel texture that I got on the clear coat, especially when I'd pull the car into the drive way with the headlights shining on the cab.  I went to work to fix it up.  I started with some 600 grit sandpaper, followed by some fine steel wool, followed by Novus #3, followed by Novus #2, and finally some Novus #1 just to clean it off. 

Took a while but the it looks really good now.  The texture is nice and smooth and the cab is still well protected.  I only did one side so far.  Tomorrow I'll try to get the other side and the front done.  The the cab gets moved to the basement for reassembly!
