Awesome work, guys!
I finally got a couple things to offer this week.....a digital color comp sketch for my next painting, Riff Raff Race 6 (aka The Battle of S. Harbor)



....and a new shirt design for Rosie's Flatheads. This is the color version, but I also have a straight black & white as well.

 

What a start, guys!
Citroën U23 "short nose"… a kind of french F100.

 

A great start everyone! { Jigger } It goes without saying your one of the best car artist. I really liked your 56 Nomad and 58 Chevy gassers. I tried doing a drawing of my Nomad driver as a gasser, it's an oldie.

 

Fall 1965: blasting off of the start line at Lions Dragstrip.
Hello,

In our early college days, this local So Cal kid was able to get a 55 Nomad for his daily driver. It was stock, bright red, and definitely a cool cruiser. For everyone, it was the best cruiser around in our neck of the woods. I thought it would be a cool, tow/push vehicle for our old 40 Willys C/Gas Coupe. (future image) So, I drew my version with Halibrand Mags and a conversion to a tow/push vehicle coming back down the return road at Lions Dragstrip.


In a discussion with my brother during his 1960 recovery, he mentioned that our future Willys look would have been yellow with Olympic Auto Parts drawn on the side and Reath Automotive on the trunk.

But, after drawing and filling in a yellow color, it looked awful.

But, what would it have been like, with my first 40 Ford Sedan Delivery all fixed up with a big SBC and all of the go fast racing goodies towing that red 40 Willys in 1960? (for starters, the original, salmon pink color on the sedan delivery and the Willys, would be a true red color instead.) It would have certainly drawn a lot of attention from people in the pits and return road. Let alone seeing a bright red, 40 Willys ripping down the drag strip like the Pittman/Edwards’ red, 40 Willys record-setting coupe.

Hmmm, maybe that is why my brother wanted to get our Willys painted yellow…there weren’t any bright yellow Willys coupes racing in the gas classes at the time. He saw that red Willys first hand in the pits and from his 58 Impala at the starting line.

 

This weeks Photos. { The So Cal Coupe } I just put the model in front of my P.C. and took some pictures with my cell phone. I added some white flour for the salt. Lol It was for the diecast thread. But I thought it's kinda artsy too. Ron...

Cool start, thanks for the likes !

 

Headed out to the garage to do another day's work on the '56. This put my head in a good spot! Thanks to all of you for the early morning attitude adjustment!

 

Did this a couple of years ago at Christmas. Used baking soda for snow.

 

...here it is Friday again, where did this week go?...well, one week closer to Spring...
...a variety of stuff from me today,...note: the 37 Chevy has the hood louvers "fixed",,,

Nice start to the weekly show...
