Hot Rods Big Daddy's 55 2 door wagon gasser

What, no fake bullet holes?

 

Considering Lloyds reputation around those parts...those probably won't be fake....

 

Clear coat the webs. They will last forever.

 

Threw a good door and fender on for inspiration.... told Andy that I believe it's gonna make a good car one of these days

 

It’s already an awesome car and will be even more awesomer when you get it finished!!

 

Has to be nice to have some good original parts to bolt on rather than some aftermarket piece that fit like crap.

 

Awwww..... but you have a nice bus there! I've got $1500 in basecoat and candy tangerine just waiting.... next year it won't be patchwork

 

I'm sure you meant, "Considering the reputations of the folks in those parts, not just Lloyd, those bullet holes probably won't be fake". I can say that and get away with it, my people came from those parts.

 

You guys ready for this??

 

WOW.

 

Well now we know where all the tri 5 parts are.

 

That ain't half of it.

 

The buildings and shipping containers are full.

 

To quote Jerry Lee: "great balls of fire!!!!!"

 

What in the actual fuck!?!?!?!

 

Looks like the Mother Lode of Tri-5 parts. Unreal man!

 

Yeah it was crazy. Me and Dave were in awe.

 

just go ahead and get a delivery door and hinges!

 

was that Justin's place? I need to get a lift gate for my wagon also. I tried to get him to bring it to Iola for me but he was hesitant on bringing bigger items. I'm looking forward to what you come up with for a paint job.

 

He told me he is going to Springfield Ohio this weekend, but he already had a trailer loaded. Yeah he's pretty awesome, knows his shit for sure. I have paint and ideas, but we'll see how it all works out once it's in the paint booth

 

I can't sit on the delivery door lol

 

Fat guys can’t break the cables on a delivery door.

 

That will be about the time that you sell it

 

There you go Lloyd, make her tight and right.

 

Holy Tri 5 wonderland, Batman!

 

Front end is back together. Much much better now. Doors aren't a 1/2" thick, no metal flashing riveted in the doors and fenders lol. Next up is a gate and hatch

 

Sometimes I like patchwork, and sometimes I like patina. That said, I’m excited you are going for a repaint. Feels right for this one. Did you mention lace work?

 

Yeah i bought a huge piece of lace for the top lol. I'm gonna shoot the car white, then lay out all of the paneling. It's gonna be tangerine orange pearl. I've got some flake too, .004, but I'm not sure where or if I'll use it. Gonna do endless line in some of the panels, fish scales, diamonds, etc in others. At least that's the plan so far lol

 

I might lace the panels on the hood.
