Good ideas! A little extreme for me though :D .

Pretty sure someone has a panel van over here with exactly what you were planning. If I find a pic I will post it..

Thanks! :cool:

Hey, I just aquired a '58 panel that is amost completly solid (a few small patches, and a lot of dents to bang out)
so I'm pondering this question as well.
I'm debating over going to the original color (monotone greenie grey)
or to do a new color of some sort, in monotone or two tone.

but either way I want to do a LOGO of some sort,
either for my company or a porsch/vw related logo.

Check out page 56 of this months Hot VWs (June 2005) for a Panel with a Porsche/VW logo. Apparently Porsche used the 68-72 model panel buses for service vehicles at race tracks.

Where could I find more information on distressing a logo? I've got my eye on a semi-beat up 71 bus that I want to use for a work horse/tower for the Super race car that I'm building. It's got faided read paint and it would look really cool if I could do some type of vw/porsche logo that looks as old as the bus does.

Distressed logo
 

One way of having the distressed look would be to have the logo air-brushed on (those guys can do almost anything you want), unfortunatly this would also be the most expensive way.

How about this one?
It might keep people from parking too close at least :eek: http://66.34.72.138/gallery/image/2005023b.JPG

That's what I want. I want to design and have a Porsche/VW designed logo on the side of the bus, and make it look really old.
