STARLINER: gotta say THANKS and....WOW!!!!

I know I already added these pics to Alex's post ( http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=249584&highlight=kirk ), but I still wanted to do my own because I intended to pair mine up with a giant THANK YOU to Alex and the whole Gambino crew.

They have gone above and beyond on this car and are making a dream come true for me. I have always wanted a fully-flaked, fully-laced, big early-'60s Ford that is a mix of early custom and lowrider influences. I think we're hitting the nail on the head with "MAY CAUSE DANGEROUS"!

Thanks guys for all the hard work and for making me feel at home when I come to visit and work at the shop. You guys deserve all the credit and accolades you are and will be getting.

We're getting close...





















Uh...yeah...it's shiny.

 

The official food of May Cause Dangerous. Seriously, we have this every night I work on the car with them.


Dave is a true standout on the build of this car. Thanks man!

Hey, I did something last night. I laid out the dash panels. Soon to be laced.

 

"May cause election."

 

Car is turning out absolutely incredible, can't wait to see the finished product!

 

May cause erection

Looks great Kirk.

 

how many of coats of clear did you use to cover up that webbing again? i forgot BUT it looks spectacular!!!

 

Heee hee

 

TOO late the first time I saw Kirk's Ride had a freakin woody. The pics were just killer!!! I couldn't stop checkin back and checkin out the progress!!! WOW I have no words for it. They can't explain it. It is just Wicked!!!!I really can't think of anything that has not been said already. Alex and the guys did one hell of a great job for sure.. Kudos to everyone.. You are one lucky dude Kirk..

Oh yeah It's coming to the Round UP right???

 

Ditto...I'd love to see that car at the Roundup.

Doc.

 

Unfortunately, no. I have to work that weekend - it's one of a handful of weekends I absolutely can't get out of working.

I'm (tentatively) planning on driving it to Indy Goodguys in June and then storing out there for a few weeks and drive from Indy to Columbus, then drive it home. Then to Puyallup.

It will be at Paso Maria for sure.

 

Money shot....



Looks great Kirk.

 

How many "billable hours" are in this paint job?

 

Shhh....I've been paying them in Carl's Jr. Sante Fe chicken sandwiches.

 

kustom of the year.

 

wow. looks amazing!

Please tell me this will be at detroit next year so I can drool all over myself in person

 

Kirk, I'm sure you could pay off the paint job if you let Carl's Jr. hear the story. I'm sure they would love to use your car for a commercial...maybe they could have Paris Hilton wetsanding it while eating a Santa Fe chicken sandwich!

 

are you needing a sitter?? I'll guard it with my LIFE!!!!

Kirk, it is absolutely Beautiful!!!! Its been great watching the progress!!!

 

Fine, we will settle for Lone Star Nationals then.

That 'Liner is gonna look awesome in front of "Babe's"

 

beautiful......hope to see it in Columbus!

 

Uhm you can store it here ~~ We would have to make sure it was up on a pedestal though, cus I would drool so damn much It might flood here!!! Keep us informed on where its gonna be at. I gotta con the ol' lady into takin a trip without kids and see this thing in person. I've always loved lace, and man this thing is the shit!!!!! AWESOME for sure...

 

That is freakin' gorgeous!!! Can't wait to see it in person!!

 

Man. That keeps on looking better every time I see a post about it.

What are the plans for the grille... or did I miss that in one of the previous posts?

 

You are going to need a Blue Metalflake pimp stick to keep the Kustom groupies at bay!

 

It looks great outside with the wheels unwrapped!!! Great job guys!!

Jonesy, did you get a new camera?

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! I was going to try to describe how this car made me feel ... but I can't top that.

 

What went into the white??? Is it just a pearl white with a light dusting of silver flake????

Gonna look great parked outside Amocat Sat. night....under the street lights.

 

Man, that car has been amazing from the day Rikster PS'd the paint.

Goes to show you just how much effort goes into a top-shelf paint job. It's no joke! Hats off to everyone at Gambino's for that masterpiece. Kirk you're a lucky guy. Awesome car.

 

May? Hell, it already has.

 

That's ridiculous. In a good way.
