Art & Inspiration The Friday Art Show.

Keep on trucking !

 

Hello,

While I was doing some research, I came across this old 1956 photo of a T-Bird racing at the NHRA So Cal Regional Championships. In between all of the race cars in the Chrisman Garage in So Cal, this
T-Bird was a part of the tons of neatly designed, powerful builds. Who would have thought? In 1956?

That photo was reported as a Blown T-Bird (McCullogh/Paxton version?) well known as a fast stock car… but, with Chrisman Bros. tuning and set up.

If Art Chrisman and Frank Cannon continued with the T-bird in competition, perhaps it would have been the next generation paint scheme to see Norm Cowdry’s motor in the his Green Austin Healy body. The level of competition would have been in the AA/SP class with the powerful supercharged motors.

Jnaki

So, following the Hustler 2 being a streamlined FED in the A/D class in 1959, we would have seen this paint scheme on the supercharged Chrisman/Cannon motor in the Thunderbird in the following years? Yowza is right!!!

But, as history provides us with information, they were too happy going 181 mph in the Hustler 2.

...one of my latest...sorry for the blurry pics

...a big thank you to guthriesmith for making this metal cut-out for me. It's waterjetted, can't believe how precise those things cut!

 

A couple other of @rusty1 latest that showed up at my house yesterday.

 

Thanks for getting us rolling Jeff. Only repeats from me this week. I was derailed by my day job which, as a storyboard artist, is far from just a day job. At times, it's more like a, "...when your brain decides to click..." job, it doesn't let me define day and nigh

 

Guthrie,do you draw out the cars with a fine marking pen and then add the watercolors?

 

Stuff I've been working on.

Sorry, I didn’t do them. They were done by @rusty1 so he will have to answer that.

Just having some fun with colored pencils and making fun, of a well known alien slug bug, from the movies.


And also a cool truck grille.
Thank you to all of you that contribute to the "FAS" weekly.
