Flaked Tops...LET'S SEE 'EM!

Yea,it used to be mine!






Here's after Mike Kelly added some silver and green pinstripes,for Lowrider Magazine






This is at the GNRS. It belongs to Flynstone now...

 

Goozgaz's Lincoln...

 

Your "buddy"? Riiiight. Stop buying cars!
Ya know, wagons look killer in flake/panel.

 

..i want to do the rest of his car like this.

 

Bob, yer '68 is/was ***s! looks awesome.

Gooz's Link gives me wood, I have the centerfold of Becky O'Donohue on the hood hanging above my computer

If I show that purple pickup to my sister will lose it!

 

That Lincoln is sweet! Thanks for all the pics Bob- I love the 'flake!

 

mine mildly flaked and candied. It's hard to get a good picture of it

 

... not flaked, but mighty "flakey"...

 

uhhh...thanks Hellfish- look forward to seeing that at the Pileup this year!

 

Here is mine

 

Malcolm

 

that dude on the right seriously needs a bigger shirt

 

Thats kinda funny it kinda hard to tell if he's coming or going at a glance.

 

Here's one I sprayed on my brand new '67 Impala in the fall of 1966...chartreuse flake top/green candy top over pearl chartreuse body.

 

Muffin Top.......

 

That's AWESOME Tom!

So, was 1966 about the time when metalflake was starting to be used regularly on customs? Or earlier??

 

Metalflake was introduced in '61.

 

ok! It's been at the last 4!

 

here is a roof i did recently for my bud Starsky

Beautiful Imp Tom! ...even posed next to the bad*** "Uncertain T" it's an attention getter.

 

I dig your Mopar, Tinman....I always thought one of those would make an excellent mild custom and you proved it! Are those Genny Buick wires?

That's a cool neighborhood, poncho...is it old or faux-old? Hard to tell.

 

Thanks... the wires are 15x7 True Spokes with an adaptor to mount the two-bar spinner. I can't get near a set of Skylarks without robbing a bank, so these do the job for now!

 

My wife just sent me these pics of her '66 Impala.....I was up 'till 1:00am last night shooting it and haven't seen it in the sun yet......

The lace panels are very subtle, with candy blue fogged a bit darker along the tape lines and window edges, matches the dash I did last month....took longer to mask than to shoot the candy....hahaha! Still needs smoothed out more and a few coats of clear to bury the flakes.....I'll be doing that later this week.
I'll try to get a few better pics once I get home and the sun sets a bit....

 

VERY nice!
