Git 'em TT! By the way, it's really nice to read a bike name in english...

 

Thanks. I didn't own it. John Behr out of KC originally had Doug Thompson build it and Tom Webb from Joplin got it and had me paint it. It's a shame it was never featured in any magazine...one of the best custom Vettes ever built. Doug formed the fastback plexiglass windows from a wooden mold.

 

Its funny you say that as my friend stated he only had two requirements on the paint job.....Somewhere it had to have hok rootbeer candy and no mexican sayings......

Must be the water coming from the Ohio that causes the fasination with shiney stuff........HAHAHA

I visited Jim Green (Wild Child) at his shop not too long ago when I was in the kansas City area. His work was also grossly overlooked in the mags. He was the first guy to make furniture from car parts. Below is a beat up old advertising poster of his from the 70's. His old three wheeler is in front of his original Bantam coupe. He painted Evel Kneivel's Cadillac station wagon and didn't cash the check so he could have the autograph.

 

That 56 sedan delivery is in stilwater, ok. a friend of mine bought it a few years back. and I had the mag that it was in ,and showed it to him. the paint was still on the car,cracking but still kool.

 

it was lacquer wasn't it ???

 

Some gay ass shit I did a couple weeks ago

 

lots of great paint job, lots of time put into them,

 

I love this shit too! I picked up this book at so-cal last friday from Thom Taylor,if you dig these you gotta love this book,kinda a off take from a book called grease machines in the 70s

 

damn!

 

That shit is gay, that's why we love you.

 

I have a Fall 1968 issue....FWIW.

Killer thread fellas.....inspirational. I'll take some pics of the '66 Impala dash I'll be flakin' and lacin' next week and post 'em up.

 

Can you get pics of what it looks like today? Same wheels/engine etc?

 

I got a pic of the green 56 Chevy as my screen saver....love the car and the paint job!

 

yowzah!!.. i love it!!

 

Yeow, That is too boss! What a great look at some real talent. This wouldn't be my style (although I did like the flames on the shoebox) but what a mind trip you get in some of these designs. I honestly don't know how someone sees this in their minds eye.

It is definitely different but down right beautiful. You gotta appreciate the creativity, design, layout and labor that goes into any of these cars. If I was to chose any other car it'd be the El Camino with Starsky & Hutch with Huggy Bear.

Great Post!

 

Not so Wild but Custom.... Thanks to Donnie @ imperial Customs

its hard to tell but not only dose it have the darker blue fade... It has pearl fades along all the edges...

 

Nice work! I hope SHE likes it!

my bike

 

Nice,, what paint ??

 

Here's one I painted in 1966. Fades up from purple to burgandy to red to orange to gold to green to blue and back to purple down the middle of the car. All candy colors and each color highlighted in a corresponding color of 'flake.

 

I thought the color of his tins was Rasberry beret. I just couldn't place it.

 

hey meatball, post a larger pic of that 65 brotha!
