Gl*** that is...I'm a gl***blower running a gl*** studio at a craft school in North Carolina. I'm a recent transplant from Brooklyn NY, Cleveland OH and grew up in Iowa!!! Working on a 1948 Dodge Town Sedan, and loving every minute of it! This is my first car project, and I'm learning everyday...but I guess that's the point huh? Should have all the side gl*** in this weekend, as long as the weather holds out, because I'm doing this car outside (no garage). So far I've: Replaced coil, rotor condensor, plugs, plug wires, windshields, carburator and re-wired the lights. Painted the rims, got new tires, ground the tires into WWW, did the lettering on the side of the car, freshened up the paint with a rattle can, and gave her some patina. Here she is:
Loose the rear bumper and replace it with something purrrtier. That thing is hideous. But I love the rest of the car.
That's not even a rear bumper, it's the sheet metal that goes between the bumper (which I don't have) and the car
Welcome to the forum, Slategrove! Cool Dodge. Gotta get those old Mopars out of the barns and on to the road. Gl*** blower huh?? Not a widely popular career, but I am sure it has it's rewards.
No one ever told me in art school that there were gonna be rewards...oh except the next 30 years of student loan repayment!!! No really, I love it, it's not even fair to call it a job, cause it doesn't **** like all the other jobs I've had. You can check out my work on my website at: http://www.slategrove.com
I just paroused a 48 Dodge moredoor with the suicide rear doors last night. "$500 bucks or it's going to the crusher" the guy says. **** him. It needed work, but was all kinds of good lookin. Welcome aboard.
Welcome! I'm about 20 miles north of Charlotte. I've just opened "Early Rods & Customs". If I can help let me know. Good Luck, Michael
