  3. It's gonna look like a fur coat on a fat chick,if you don't do some fancy shit in the trunk and engine compartment,Alex! Got any plans? Or are they looking good already?

    I just meant.....EVERY car I've had ANYTHING to do with the painting of is famous for having a scratch or blemish somewhere where I just could not wait to 'mock-up' the grille or trims before the paint had set up enough:eek:

    The BEST comeback to the RatRod movement is to show that, while GREAT work takes skill,patience and time, IT CAN BE DONE !!!:rolleyes:

    This will be one of those jobs they talk about 30 years later, like the way we talk about "that car" and "that painter" from the old magazines :)

    I'm converted - lace jobs were never my thing - you'll have changed my mind. Looks great.

    Well, it will be in the room, but not competing. I am running the committee for the award, so there's no way I'll be eligible.
     
  25. Thanks Alex for setting that straight
    Stoner does a great job as far as I'm concerned.
    It must be people who don't know how to read that don't like Garage

    Hey! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you yet. I'm still trying to get my head back in this hemisphere. They arrived and look KILLER! I think they're right on the money for the 1962 show car inspired build.
