Hey all, A quick link and a couple pix to what turned out to be a rather small evening. Thursday Night Cruise
[ QUOTE ] I think this guy must work at Home Depot (according to Dave). [/ QUOTE ] Behave....I said....That he must have raided a Home Depot for the grill!! He runs a rod shop in San Jose somewhere, I seem to recall. Great looking car Dave
[ QUOTE ] I think this guy must work at Home Depot (according to Dave). [/ QUOTE ] Thats the car!! I have been looking for pics of that car since I saw it at Vegas. Is it a Hambers car?? Or does anyone have anymore pics of it, like a side shot?? How do I get that exact paint effect but blue, thats how I want to paint my Galaxie.. anyone??
Don't think he is a member, but as I said, I think he runs a shop in San Jose. As for the car, it looked to be flat paint, but not sure if it was flat clearcoat, or if he painted it with a flattener in the paint? Not too clued up on paint, but sure someone here wouls know. The roof is wild, silver flaked with the green fogging round the edges, looked great. Will see if he is there next week & take some more pic's. Dave

Believe me, I'm not about to diss that car! It's freakin' sweet! I would so cruise that. I have a couple more pix of it in the Fotki album...was tough to get the flake on the roof, tho. -Taylor

[ QUOTE ] Thanks Dave! Reply to this and you'll hit the 500 post mark! -Taylor [/ QUOTE ] No shit, I was just thinking about how many posts you guys have already. I have been here quite a bit longer and only have a whopping 20. You're like those women that talk just to hear yourself speak! Just kidding! Nice pics but some sideshots would show the cars a little better. That Pontiac is tits!
Posting local event's really help's give the rest something to aspire to. Great work. Thank's for the left coast view.

[ QUOTE ] the guy in the middle pic is not a hamber . it alex gambino and he works in a hot rod shop called wild card in modesto [/ QUOTE ] I thought he had his own place in San Jose now? I remember seeing one of his flyers a few months back... Bitching ride tho... Dave
Oh yeah! That thing's freakin gorgeous! Very drool-worthy. And yeah, I do have quite a few posts...but I'm also new on the scene with lots of questions and opinions and so forth, so don't be surprised if I say a lot. Oh yeah, and if you look into the gallery I posted...there are more side shots. -Taylor
So what's the deal with the shoebox in your first pic? There are no hood lines. Is the front end a full tilt away? Is it glass?
[ QUOTE ] Yeah, it's a forward tilting front end. I didn't tap it, but I'm assuming it's glass. -Taylor [/ QUOTE ] Taylor, look again...... Its steel.... If you look along the top, you will see where some of the Bondo is starting to crack along the hood lines. Dave (Purveyor of fine music)
