That might require some electronics genius to create a little pcb.
Steve, now you're on the right track. But I wouldn't even know where to begin on something like that. but yes, I am going to cut styrene for the kiss logo, ans install led's.

Thanx buddy, Big John

Well here's what I did tonight. I cut the letters for the kiss logo, and i'm gonna put led's in them. I will build a box that will mount to a piece of styrene, and put the logo on the front. The box will hide all of the wires. This will be in the trailer on a side wall. Please let me know what you think.



Thanx for looking, Big John

The lettering looks really great John, sounds like you have a clear plan there.

I found some really cheap flashing LED kits. Maybe one will work for you. Many options on led color and flash or strobe patterns and speeds.

http://www.goldmine-elec-products.co....asp?dept=1067


These two seem to be the most suitable:
http://www.goldmine-elec-products.co...p?number=C6863
http://www.goldmine-elec-products.co...p?number=C6861

And this seems like a pile of fun!

Well guy's and doll's, I got some more accomplished last night and today. As I posted earier, I messed up on the sleeper doors, so totally went to super sized doors...A guy my size needs them, lol. Anyhoo, here's what I have so far. And Travis, I started sanding more last night...lol.









Now some more body work, and a little finessing around the doors, and I should be getting closer for the psycidallic paint job...Believe me when I say, I want to see paint on this as much as you all do.

Thanx for looking, Big John

Thankyou Tamiya Cowboy, and I thought the "K" was going to the most difficult because on the curves, but the "S" took longer to measure out. Goes to show, you never know what will happen.

Great progress as always Big John. I, like you and everyone else, am really looking forward to seeing this crazy paint scheme, specially on such a large and unique cab. It's gonna be really off the wall! Every square inch of it will have a different pattern. Mental!!

Thankyou Mike, and yeah, Gene might be lurking around I was thinking the other day, it would be cool to have the band members sign the roof of the trailer.

I'm with Dreamweaver, Vinney Paul from Pantera was on That Metal Show last week talking about Simmons and his greed for royalties on anything KISS, I guess he's over the top about it. Its to bad, if I were him I'd want to own it when you were done! .
