My main man Jim decided to have a day off from being covered in flake, and surprised me by fitting my shifter and dash knobs instead. Here's a few shots; Nick, the phone is called a novophone, and it was me what posted it, on a thread about the Pink Freak, Later, Paul.
Paul, I'm as thick as PIG shit me and I forget things quite a lot too!!!! The F100 dash is lookin' bloody marvellous, the phone just adds that OTT touch that any '60's show car needs,Hands free my Arse! Nick.
That candy red is looking gorgeous. I am going with scallops on my panel truck as well, but mine will be a little more subtle (gloss black scallops over satin black). As to whether the forward facing scallops work or not is immaterial, it is your vision after all. I may try them on my truck, will have to experiment. By the way Mick Cadman is now a dad. A lovely llittle girl called Lilly Mai. I was a bit worried when he told me she had his hands (shovels?!).
Got back from Royal Kustoms to find I now have a finished one piece tailgate on the Kart,Jim even radiused the corners.With the help of some rather HAMB unfriendly gas struts she'll open remotely,so the back end can stay as klean as it looks now; klick on this; Inside; And with the help of some 4mm bead and some lead,the door gap after removing the driprail has gone from this; to this; thats it,bodywork DONE!!! Next week FLAAAAAAAAKE. Paul
Jim's doing a cracking job there for you Paul, won't be long now til it's back on your drive and wowing the neighbours!!
Paul, Lookin' Damn FINE as ever!I'm lookin' forward to the Hayride when I get to see The Fink in the steel so speak! Nick.
Hey Paul.....you need to get 'ya one of these It's a vintage 19 channel CB! The "Fink" is coming along great. Thanks for the updates............
That is frickin awsome. Excelent build can't wait to see her done. My/Satinblacks old Chevy panel went over there somewhere. Let me know how she looks if you run into her. '53 Chevy Panel 396/400 American 5 spokes.
OK,so we're finally all flaked after something like 30 pounds of HOK ; Here's a few gold accents to tie in with the grille mesh and gold pinstriping around the scallops; She's been flatted back ready for some clear over the next coupla days,then Monday is the big one,mask out the silver scallops for real,then the red kandy will fly.Keep your fingers ccrossed for us. Later Paul
HOLY BALLS! I wouldn't want to be driving behind you on a sunny day- it does come out once in a while over there, don't it? Bring on the candy!
Nice surprise in my e-mail this morning.Looks like Jim was a busy boy last night.He had to set up scaffolding to do the roof in one hit ! Not easy to photograph but you get the idea I can'ts stands the excitement!!!!!
Thats looking killer mate, can't wait to see it in the flesh. I spoke to Jim pretty late last night on the phone and he said that he was pulling out all the stops to get the panel done for you, it was a brief chat as he was in between coats of candy. Paul.
