Fresh T-Bucket Gasser Paint whata ya think

wicked paint! I dig the whole package, but some how feel the rear wheel/tire combo clashes with the paint. ET III or Hilibrand mags with M&H Racemasters would realy give it that altered or street comp roadster look.

 

One vote for the paint.... But I would loose sleep at night driving that on the street with the oil filters in that position. One bad bump and your rear tire is going to be covered in slippery oil which is not conducive for straight line driving.

 

i saw the body and thought it was awesome and then with the body the car i was blown away. that is one fun looking ride!

 

Were you listening to Strawberry Alarm Clock or Iron ****erly when you did this, for the full sixties experience?

 

the worst part is I wasnt even around for the 70's I was born in 1987. I always figured I was born a few years to late.

 

SicKKKKKKKKK I like it. Thats Bad ***

 

Cool paint, but I'd rethink the pipes if you want to actually drive the thing.

Looks like they're ready to get hit by something and get oil everywhere.

 

Outtasight man! Love it.

 

Very cool paint. Reminds me of a give away car at show I went to as a kid back in about 75. It too was a T Bucket.

 

I would of never picked it, but that is bad***... great job!

lets see some more pics of the blue A in the backround

 

Very Nice!

 

I did it dude Like the old school paint jobs. The whole t bucket looks awesome.

 

what do I think? I think you done good... its 1968 all over again.

 

Shades of the 60's. I lived that era and I really think you captured the look of the period. Mixed media is what it was all about in the 60's and early 70's. Why don't you come to Indy and paint my delivery, eh?

 

I remember looking at a paint job almost like that with a severe hangover in about 1973 or so. get the rest of it correct to the period of the paint style and you will the old farts like me arguing that they saw it run back in the day.

glad you all dig the paint


here is a pic before we painted it



here is a pic of the blue A

 

here is the blue coupe before we ****ed it up

 

Wow, that was at the Pileup according to the pic you posted... And I missed it!!

I thought the paint was kind of cool when I saw the body pics, but the car REALLY is unique when it is all pictured together. Cool ride.

Have to agree the yellow filters look out of place. But the car is overall definitely a SWEET ride! I like it.

Will it be at the Pileup this year??

 

how do you do this part is there a secret or a trick to masking that or whats the deal?

 

ya man it should be at the pile up along with my shoebox and the blue model a might be painted by then as well

 

wqhich part are you talking about the scales or the lines

 

Trippy Man, I'm diggin it. Might have to let my White Boy Afro grow out again.

But don't call it a G***er, not even CLOSE! Think Altered, Baby

 

Cool paint for sure, ChicagoSlackers1 - you have it down - colors work great, great detail, it hits the mark.

Keep it up! I'm a huge fan of these styles myself. Lots of comments about 60's in the thread, but I'm thinking you are in the 70's. Flake was 60's for sure, even 50's... but when you get into the candy fades and fish scales, you are stepping into the wild experimentation of the early 70's for sure. No doubt somebody was probably doing it in the 60's, the innovators!

Very cool. Again, keep it going. The 70's styles might never make a strong comeback, but they will always make people take notice, and get a strong reaction. People either love it, or hate it - not much in between!

Wow! Very early 70's looking. I like it.

 

Killer paint job. That is a bad *** machine man!!

 

I bet if you sat a spray can on one of them scales it would fit the shape...am I right? Anyway dude thats one groovy paint job. I can say groovy I'm over 50.

 

im talking about the scales. How do you mask them off. Did you have to do like one row of scales at a time o what

 

Very freaking nice!!!!

 

*****in!!!

 

I don't know how he did it, but I've done some air brush stuff on smaller pieces by cutting a stencil about 10 scales wide, then just move it and airbrush around it.
