    I figured out a way to make a smaller set work. What do you want for them Rob? PM me

    Here is the top insert already painted. It was easier on a stand to paint. Old school flames. Look back a couple of pages.

    Thanks. I saw the black and white pic of the style just missed the painted insert. It's going to look cool.

    This week I kept looking at my first attempt at paint and was not happy so I hit it with 800 grit and reshot the paint yesterday. Much happier now. Still some dust and few lil' runs to sand but much better. Not as dry looking in some spots like last time. IMG_1001.JPG IMG_1000.JPG IMG_0992.JPG IMG_0998.JPG

    Yes, I'm so over the neglected look. Rust is not patina. It's neglect and indifference.

    Mounted body today on ch***is, Actually it's just sitting on it. Still need to bolt it down and align doors. Progress I guess. Still need to do a lot but I dig it so much. Flames are coming. IMG_1073.JPG IMG_1071.JPG IMG_1070.JPG IMG_1069.JPG IMG_1068.JPG IMG_1067.JPG

    Not going to get anything done for a couple of weeks really as I have a memorial service to attend in Texas for my mother this coming weekend. It will be here when I get back. Thanks for the nice comments. It's happening.

    Flames painted on the rest of the body. Just need to do some edge clean up and some overspray clean up before I show the pics. Here is a teaser. Seats should be done at the upholstery shop today. Progress. This picture makes it look like the whole car is red but it is not. Just 2/3's of it. ha! IMG_1093.JPG IMG_1094.JPG

    Got my 1939 Beech 18 seats back from the trim shop IMG_1095.JPG . Basic black farm raised Naugahyde. I am pretty damn happy with them and they are comfortable as far as I can tell. High density foam helps a lot. One more piece of the hotrod puzzle.

    Nice. The wife was farm raised and her Hyde is pretty comfortable.

    It is really hard to get a decent shot of the flame job in my tiny shed but here it is. Still need wet sand and buff but I'm waiting a few days for that. I am really happy with the layout and the sheer late 50's vibe. Can't wait to get the rest of it together. IMG_1097.JPG IMG_1099.JPG
