I am about to get my 1978 Transmode wrapped by a company in Akron, OH and I was wondering if people have done this to some or any success in the past?

I am still working on a design and plan on being as original as possible but I would love to see other designs and paint schemes.

Actually, a Klingon Bird of Prey would be my first choice. The Bird of Prey
green would go well with the original green plaid Palm Beach interior.

Great idea.

How about a huge trash can and a photo of yourself frowning throwing handfuls of dollar bills into the trash can?

This is one of my "themes" for my coach. Just waiting for enough cash to be able to do it!

We toyed with the spaceship wrap idea so my aspiring director 16 year old son could use the coach as a movie prop. It has all the right shape for a 70's era tv movie spaceship.

I'd guess we were about the same age then, eh?

Ha! I couldnt agree more! I have seen several boats called "Money Pit" and the GMC is no exception!

I like the ideas and will be considering something retro. One idea was to wrap it just like the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo or the A team van with the red strip but I need a big wing to make it cool.

I live in Ohio but am a HUGE michigan fan so I am afraid of some hillbilly buckeye fan damaging the coach so I will have to pass.



I wonder if getting a wrap like the EM 50 Urban Assault vehicle would spark interest?? humm.



Please send the ideas along, I am up for anything and have an affordable way of doing this.



Cheers,



Jeff

How about a panoramic view of the Ohio State horseshoe with the scoreboard clearly showing that the Buckeyes are beating Michigan (again). Maybe it's just me but I think that would be great!
