Art & Inspiration Candy, Lace, Flake, Flames... wanna see WILD custom paint...

This is my buddy,Paul's(slick51)Merc. It was flamed by Steve Vandemon,the same guy who did mine...

 

Borrowed pics of my boy forsakenfew's pontiac....

 

^^^ Wow!

 

I know it was done with a DA, I just think its awesome someone can draw flames like that, let alone with a DA. I sure as hell couldn't. I'd like to find out more of how they actually did it. I'm also suprised its held up that well over 5 or 6 years like you say. I would have expected it to peel after 2. I stand corrected.

 

Love the tunneled tailights....

 

Now that's funny....
but when you have very young children, it's a part of life.... or an oil spot on the driveway

and KIRK's 60 Starliner is absolute early 60's perfection.
the details pull you in for a closer look without going overboard
(disclaimer IMO)

 

that was an in-progress shot from june? of last year. It's got 60 Buick headlight rings on it now, and it's killer.

Paint by Harpoon.

Erik is here on the HAMB as "forsakenfew"
perhaps he'll put up some more pics of the car...
for now, here's a link to an old thread.http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=196095&showall=1

 

hudsoncustom, let me guess. That is the one that Harpoon painted last year. KNUX!....i should wait and read the whole thing 1st before posting. Didn't 'poon do a couple of others too when he flew up there?

 

I love all the old lowriders man...them were the days about the same time all the funny cars had rad fuckin lettering and gold leaf

 

my favorite styles of paint are all showcased right here...

 

Lets keep this thread going...

Buicks and Cadillacs

 

Chevs

 

Mooooooooore

 

Some really cool ideas. Cool thread.

 

Even to a non art eye,it should be EZ to see that the lay outs that look best are those that are simple and complement the cars own lines,and not the one's that are too bizzy with too much color and detail. Even tough there harder to do.

 

I heard the roof was taken off this Lincoln and turned around backwards! Anybody know if that's true?

 

I think this will answer your question....

I think that's the one that instead of being relegated to show-only status by an explode in your face the first rock chip tempered glass back window for a windshield, he had a laminated glass copy of the shape made in Finland(?) so it would be safe to drive.

 

So that's the story! It always looked like he just took the top and spun it around. When I saw the car I was amazed. Nice car,kinda like the stuff Rick Dorr does.

 

</P>
Thanks poop!!!!

 

back several years ago when the Hamb was mostly all flat black....
Mike(kustombuilder),,remember this car?????
