UPDATE 6: Starliner.......HOLY S#!T!!!!!!! It's a NEW CAR yet again.

Holy shit....that thing rocks!

 

A few. The lace texture is not as tall as it looks in the photos.

 

You're totally right. I'll fire those heathens tomorrow.

 

Alex = kustom diety

 

While a 60 Starliner itself is a beautiful car that thing just can,t be described to the full extent that it deserves. Amazing paint and panel work! Outside in the sun will truly make blind men weep.....

 

I just got off the phone with Alex. It looks like the side panels will be blue base with fades like the lace ones, but instead of lace they will have cobwebbing. Then just for a little more spice that little panel on the bottom of the rear 1/4 will get a step-faded repeating arc pattern that will continue under the side spear until it fades out.

 

It just doesn't stop does it? Gonna be really cool.

I hope you make the GNRS. I would love to see this in person, especially after you keep saying that the pics dont do it justice.

 

Kirk, Man that car is looking awsome! Alex is getting off on it. Bin thinking bout doing some panel and flake on the Slur but wasnt sure but after seeing your ride im getting that fealing again. Keep the progress pics coming

 

Two questions:

-Did you build another garage, in the backyard or something?

-Does Alex charge extra, what with you hanging out "helping" all the time?

 

-Shit, I wish

-He charges me double when he has to babysit me

 

this car is gonna look 100% sick man, lovin' it

 

Kirk it looks amazing.

I have to make the trek down to GNRS to see it, I hadn't really planned on going but this and the other cars being built for that show are goign to make it worth it!

Alex you are the kustom king, the work put into that car is awesome. You guys make it looks easy!

 

Soooo, are you making a show card that says "Hippie pants"?

 

I don't normaly like Lace but this time I have to admit that it looks good.
Good job....

 

Man... I love this build. This car is stellar in my opinion. I want it (or one like it) in my garage!

 

now that's a funny mental image....lol especially the fabric stores in Kansas where my folks live...that's the number one Amish hang out! lol Not to imply that you guys are radical or anything...you just don't look like squares that's all lol

 

Well, the Starliner is officially not going to make it to GNRS. Bummer. It's just turning out too nice to rush the final stages. It will be at Sacramento Autorama instead. Then every show I can get to this summer.

We are going to keep the pace up.

New updates to come next week.

 

bummer dude...

but it is always better not to be in a rush.

 

Damn man ! Nice build ! Definitely looks like a lot time masking and a lot of work went into it, but well worth the time and effort by the looks of the pics !

the car looks koo alex did a good job needs some tru spokes and 5.20's look like an old skoo lowrider

 

The darker blue kicking-back the lace looks much better. Very nice.

 

COBWEBBING !!!!......... drool,drool....have Alex reveal his technique with this almost forgotten effect.

 

SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEETttttttttttttttttttttt

 

That paint rocks!!! I love the blue fades. Just did a tank for a friend of mine for his bike. Sorta similair, wanna paint my shoebox in that same style.

Here is the tank...

 

Very Impressive guys!

 

thats an incredible paint job. nice work!

Deep blue really pulls it all together. EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Update likely to come tomorrow.
