Larry was workin on finishing up his book with the help of Thom Taylor. It was supposed to debut at the Showcase of Kustoms in Sept.. I'm guessin that's still the plan.

 

Fuckin A, man. that lil '59 will look killer like that. Nice color combo too.

 

Damn right you should, that'll look KILLER!

Bass, That Shovel is STUNNING!

Ok then next winter when I take my truck apart to do the volare suspension, I will do that paint job

 

close as Ive seen

 

that's what i thought. i guess now's a good a time as any for somebody to do one...

 

Eryk I knew you would blow us away with your olds.In the last picture there is a watson style cameo in the background

 

Bad ass!!!

 

my uncles built, designed and painted the watusi!

 

here's one I helped shifter marky a little bit on.. totally watson/winfield inspired
it was gold with rainbow flake, and candy tangerine scallops and lace



and the matching one for his girlfriend. this was the first paing job, candy pink with silver fogging.


and the second version with flake and silver scallops


Cool thread by the way.... Watson was a true artist!

 

Ok, those are Candy-Cool!

 

That truck is so awesome! E

 

I've always been a huge Watson fan. He was THE influence for my car. It is the first car I ever painted.I really don't think their is any other painter/customiser with a more readily recognizable and distinct style.
If you like Watson and don't own a copy of the book Kustomland you owe it to yourself to get a copy. You will not be disapointed. Todd

 

absolutely yes!

Kripfink, I had a dream about your panel this morning, you were all over the place, you crashed the rear quarter in and said, "It's nothing, it'll be fixed likkety split."

 

Cant forget Rev Billy F Gibbons-mexican blackbird--------very cool and no doubt Watson inspired!

 

Nads, thanks for starting this thread. It's been long overdue for sure.


Zman, Buick looks killer!!!

The thing about this car, when it was in the gnrs 2010 it didn't say ANYTHING about Watson on the sign or anything...Just saying, however it is very cool!

 

Well, I'll let you in to a little secret. The throttle stuck on about 2 weeks after the flake & kandy paint job, and crunched the passenger side front fender in to another cars rear quarter! How the hell he did it, I really don't know, but Jim managed to strip, straighten, lead the fender and front roll pan, and match the paint EXACTLY. I mean, you can't even see the join unless you look real hard when it's pointed out to you.
Spooky huh?
Paul.

 

I have to say Bass, that bike is killer.

 

I have to say, I agree.

And Paul, that's an amazing co-incidence, I really didn't know that, weird.

 

maybe cause So-Cal built the car?...but ya cant not see the look
