Projects BRIAN MADE ME DO IT: 34 Roadster Build

Uh oh. This happened.

 

You gotta show us more, Billy

I just gots to know

 

You’ve really gone and done it now! VERY COOL!

 

Early in this thread in 2017 @DDDenny asked if Mitch would do the striping. You’re a man of your word Billy.

John

 

Very cool build! Well done!

 

I haven't even seen it yet. The pictures was courtesy of @Almostdone who happened by Mitch's while he was doing his thing. I can't wait to see it unclose and personal today.

It's not about the money, it's about the cool.

I have at that my friend, I have at that.

I actually had it striped years ago before the roadster show, Mitch was way too far back and couldn't fit it in. I had a local guy do it and he did a nice job but it was never to my liking for this car. When he striped the pickup earlier this year I remembered just how ridiculously talented this guy is so I made an appointment. I went home and used Easy Off oven cleaner (the good stuff, not the eco friendly crap) and wiped all the stripes off the car. I gave Mitch a clean canvas to play with. Thanks again for the pictures and the sneak peak.

 

Here are a few more of the master at work. I sure will miss this guy. It was sad to walk in to his shop and all the art work is gone from the walls s he prepares to vacate. End of an era. But what an era!
I guess the handles were in his way do they had to be removed and reinstalled. I hear that wasn’t easy.

And a shot of Mitch at work on the hood.

If you think you have mad striping skills, take a look at that line he is working on.

Yeah, that’s hand lettering in the center stripe. He mailed the Navarro lettering. I love the triple stripe, very fitting for a 33-34 ford.

I’ll give you more when I pick it up this afternoon. It is pouring here, but the trailer is in the driveway ready to go play retriever.

 

A sad day indeed!
Glad for Mitch though, he'll be able to enjoy the fruits of his labors.
Bill, that Navarro graphic on the hood is beyond perfection.

 

Fukn' GORGEOUS!

 

Looks fantastic!

 

The "COOL" factor went up a bunch of notches now!

 

You want to run the gauntlet? Try making the run to Clackamas, OR from Battle Ground, WA with a truck and trailer at 4:00 in the afternoon. I was on the Glen Jackson bridge for half an hour coming home.

Anyhoo, it was too dark to mess with unloading tonight. Ill take the pics tomorrow.

Spoiler; thar be stick people!

 

Mitch told me once that he put a caricature of two people "bonding" inside the gas door.
Owner had a less than "happy ending".
