Enjoying watching this take shape. Great work and will keep following the progress.

Oh, and great pictures.

 

Hey, thats what its all about,the pics are like a safety meeting ,nobody works/nobody gets hurt ,lol ,looks like you guys are fun any way,pete is still working away ,he is the only one that dirty in the pics, I only wish I could work outside here in ontario,canada in january, the white snow ****s ,I am enjoying the build, thanks eh

 

Thanks for the build pictures Rick! I'm stuck working indoors like 66tintop, we have 6 months of car building time here in the Great White North.

 

I'm at my shop waiting for the guys to show up and the day is looking perfect for painting. There will definitely be pictures today. I can't explain how excited I am today to have this "Celebrity Painter" help us. I really feel that this will put us over the hump. That doesn't mean there isn't a lot of work to do but this is one of the most major things for us to accomplish at this point. I wish all you snow bound guys could be here today. It is amazing!

 

Yes, my beater actaully made it out there and back without breaking down. Nice to meet you guys. That car is going to look great whan its done. Rick was fine sanding every part of that frame even the bottom. The sun is out now. I hope you have a good day.

 

You need someone to chime in once in a while and tell you that you missed a spot...

 

man i love this thread, i was like eleven or twelve years old in elementary school and remember bringing my dads issue of "hot rod" to school to read in free time and your car was on the cover along with a cuda. I always loved that car and now its coming back to life. keep up the good work, cant wait to see it back in action.

 

Hey Rick, I wish I could be there! Does anybody know how to operate a left handed metric snow shovel in So-cal ? Na I should not have asked! Anyway have fun, I will be watching later on!

 

Woah. It just occurred to me that I may have been pronouncing your name all wrong?! Is it Barakat like "BEAR-uh-CAT"? OR is it Buh-RACKET? Like I need to fabricate a cool Buh-Racket?

Anyway...

 

Bear-uh-cat

 

It sure is looking good!!!

 

After watching a real pro, I'm even more of a hack than I thought.
Pictures to follow.

 

..Come on Rick, we need pictures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hmmm.....celebrity painter.........One guy comes to mind...

Did Terry make the trek from Apple Valley to come and spray it?

 

Looks like a picture from the old days. Wish i were there

 

Rick, the sedan is looking good, can't help but have fun with you and Pete around.

I really liked the photos of the hood tops, as we all know they are the most important part of any hot rod build!!!

Keep the pics coming.

Mick

 

Jack- Some pictures will be posted a little later this afternoon.

Alex- Nope, not Terry.

Jimmy- Wish you were here too!

Mick- I would agree with you but then I'm afraid you might ask for more money. When are you coming back into town?

 

Here are some pictures. They aren't the best but they'll do unit one of my "staff" can take better ones.

 

Is that an EPA officer I see on the freeway?

 

Hey Joe-
All my previous posts about it being Acrylic Enamel that I picked up in Arizona was just a joke. It's really house paint I got got from the Home Depot in Monrovia. Don't bother calling to confirm, I know your phone is bugged.

 

Wow !! Looks great !!

 

House paint, rrrrright....

 

He paid Al Gore carbon credits for the paint so its cool

 

Could we just skip to the chase and paint Al Gore hugger orange?

 

any chance that your "mystery painter" was imported from Hemet ?

 

^^^ would that not be tree hugger orange ....lol....



damn he snuck in there.... oh well....

 

Oooh weeeee purdy!

 

philly the greek-
Hemet??? Absolutely correct!!!

Quit picking on Al Gore.....if it wasn't for him we wouldn't have the internet. Therefore no HAMB HAHAHA

knotttty-
The way they've messed up the paint in SoCal, that color name would be appropriate.

 

Even way back when, your last name and my old school's mascot made a connection...lol
The car's really looking good by the way.

 

Hello Rick, I just found this thread TODAY! I am new to the HAMB and I am amazed with the responses from other HAMBrs. Reminds me of my friends in high school, anything to help out. I am subscribed to the build so I can follow the progress. I would ALSO be interested in a shirt, XL if you still have one. Please PM with info to get 1. Awesome work and I will be waiting for updates. Thanx Daryl
