At long last, shiny paint! Still a way to go until it's drivable, but maybe it'll get on the road this year.

 

hey 50.....dam how many cars ya got?? comin to the breakfast??

 

Uh, five... I'm gonna miss tomorrow.

 

I love that color.

 

nice

 

I love the smell of fresh paint in the morning.

 

NICE color choice.

 

Shizzz>>>>.

 

I love the color as well. Looking forward to seeing the shiney chrome put back on.

 

What a tease!!! with only one pic!

 

I still like the '51 best.

 

Looks good, my friend used to have a car like that!

 

That color,with all the chrome and stainless....it's gonna KILL!!!!
Looks great Fraud....

 

Thanks, I'm pretty jazzed about the color too. It's a Nissan color called "Mystic Emerald", and it's not really as dark as the picture appears -- it has a lot of light-to-dark "flop" in daylight. It'll be some weeks before the bright trim is ready, so I'm trying to be patient.

Of course I like that one too, but I can't stand still; the shoebox was finished (paint, upholstery) more than ten years ago. I suspect that if I quit doing this stuff I'll just croak.

Sorry, it's the only picture I have of it after polishing. The car is 400 miles North of me, and I haven't seen it yet myself. Can't wait!

 

Lookin' sweet. Ya know, some Merc tails would look good on that!

 

looks bitchin man! excellent color choice..

 

More pics please! Out in the light...

 

I enjoy your humor almost as much as your cars and trucks. I can't wait to see it together. It was bitchin in primer.

 

When I was a kid ,my friend who was also a kid,Wade Hutchison from Minn...oewned that merc in the background.

 

Nice work, Tony!

Looking forward to seeing this one together.

 

Yow! More pictures from the painter. Unfortunately the hood bubbled, and will have to be stripped and repainted.

These pictures show how much more brilliant the paint is in the sun; look how bright it is on the hood and how dark on the vertical part of the deck lid.

Oboyoboy!

 

I didn't see the paint formulation myself, but I wouldn't be surprised. I just asked for the stock Nissan color, which has a lot of flop when I see it on the street.

I've called Artistic a couple of times, but have been told that they hadn't stripped the parts yet. When I called this week they said they were doing it right then. We'll see, I guess.

 

The color really stands out in the sun light!! cant wait to see it together.

 

Yassir! That is pretty.

 

Nice color!

Ya know, I have a bunch of Hot Wheels with crossed-spoke alloys that look a lot like those...

 

Now that you mention it, I have a few myself. Funny, I never made that connection. Post-hypnotic suggestion, maybe?

 

love the colour waiting to see more pics

 

Thanks for the tip on this thread, I had missed it. Man you will soon have another neat machine on the road. Your cars always have special design touches that really sets them apart. Very nice work.

 

Thanks!
