Howdy

Howdy All,

Been lurk'n for a while and thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself.
My name is Craig and I'm from Austin (Yup, another Texan). I've been a motorcycle guy for years but I'm itch'n to get a car project going. Don't have one yet but I'm close to buying my buddy's 58 Apache so hopefully soon...

Since I don't have have a car yet to post pictures of, thought I'd show you another of my recent projects ya'll might get a kick out of.

No way was I gonna let my little niece's first set of wheels be an import. No sir, only vintage American steel would do. Here's her 1947 steel craft wagon - restored and road ready and being in fireball metal flake and gold leaf, she's the coolest kid on the block hands down!

I'm sure I'll have some technical questions soon.

Thanks,

Craig

 

Dig that crazy flake!

 

Ready for the road

 

Welcome!
What size is that flake??

 

Welcome, this is the place for Hotrods and Customs. Your work on the buggy is killer. Stop by early and often.

Nice wagon dude. I love the Celtic knotwork with the gold leaf.

Welcome to yet another Texan,

Big Daddy Eric

 

It's House of Kolor F65 "mini-fireball". It's quite a bit small than your standard b***-boat flake. I have a dry application gun I use for the bigger stuff.

 

Excellent, if you treat that truck like you did that wagon it'll be killer. Bring it to the round-up so I can take a look.

 

Wow, what a transformation. Work of art, mister.

 

Dig that paint job, welcome to the H.A.M.B..

 

Welcome to the HAMB! That wagon is really cool, nice job man.

Greg

Welcome to the HAMB.

The gold looks like an "engine turned" effect. Am I seeing that right? Or is it just laid on? Very nice anyway you look at it.

 

Neat wagon--wottle she do??

 

Your are seeing right, the accent on the side is engine turned gold leaf.

Glad you guys like it!
