[ QUOTE ] Here are some pix of my palettes that I use. [/ QUOTE ] WOW! Your pallette has the same finish as my new jeans. Thanx for the heads up, always cool to learn how others develop neat tools for special purposes. Guess I got some 'shopping' (scrounging) to do now.
.........DAMN I'm lucky!!! Don't know why, but I was the only bidder on this Johnny Ace/Kali Vera piece on eGay. I was checking in on their web site and clicked "Our Auctions" and this piece and an airbrushed shirt were listed. I couldn't stand NOT bidding. I never expected to get the piece. I'll have to work overtime to pay the credit card bill, but it's WELL worth it.......... I'll add this to "Sting Fink," "Skate Fink," "Daughter of Angel Fink" & the "Roth Catalog" in my "gallery".........thanks guys.......
........I didn't realize.......the bidding ended for the shirt with NO BIDS!! Can't believe it........ I need to work more overtime..........

Monkey see Monkey DODO ... Ray after Johnny Z / Dr.Rru this year, I came home and put this one togeather from all dollar store parts. The handle on center bottom is at a natural hand angle when held out infront of me. And I made that handle a bit shorter so the pallet will not rock if I set it down on a hood or deck. Thanks

Thanks [/ QUOTE ] GREAT SETUP! Looks like it really does the job and it didn't cost a gazillion bucks.The only thing I might add(and I'm doing it to mine also)is maybe to attach a little of that anti-skid material on the bottom of the legs.

Great photo Irish. Does she look at the friday art stuff on here. Actually I think Chloe's stuff is better than Carp's stuff!

Hey Safarinut, I think I found something that's gunna work a treat. Old projector stand, it has a flat metal top with a lipped edge so paint spills won't end up on the floor. I'm figuring to remove the clamp from a clipboard and pop rivet it directly to the flat top bit of the stand. It's a pretty sturdy deal and can be set at varying heights. I'm thinking a dolly wheel on each leg might be good to make it easy to move around when working on a big job. Still looking for suitable holders for paint and reducer cups and thinking maybe it should have more than just two so I can have a few different colours ready at once. Soon as I get it fully sorted, I'll post a pic or two. Meanwhile, I've got my first real job today, striping the flames on my pals black primered model A. Hey, he liked my bench grinder, I'm game and his car is a challenge. Heck, if I do the flames right he might even let me try some freehand striping too. Pics as soon as we're done. PS - Mrs Carps thanks you all for encouraging me.
Last night we went to a shop where a friend's '49 Merc is being built. This*****er is unreal! The car will be finished in bare metal with a clear coat over it, and sooner or later the beautiful flathead is gonna be replaced with one of the only other motors that will look as good/better....a HEMI The striping is done by Paul Quaife(sp?) The car itself is art, it was once a four door with a whole heap of the body missing (rusty as hell). Can't rememberhow much its chopped, but is one of the best looking chops on a merc ive seen. What you guys think?
I've been attempting the model car thing for about a year or so, not any good yet, but thought you might like to see some of my ideas. I dont know how to post more than one picture, so bare with me
This pic is what i would like to build for my first car. It "runs" a triple carbed flathead. The Roadster above has a Blown ardun, the motor being form the F1 kit, the blower from the 55 chev "street machine" kit.
The final pic is of another car I wanna build Basicly box stock, except front wheels are from the Model A "Rat Rod" kit,(those wheels are the best steel wheel's ive seen) and has a sbc from the Thom Taylor 34 roadster. The 34 is my next project, going to try and make it a very early 50's Hot rod. Also building a 28 Closed cab pickup, with the left overs from the A RPU. It isn't realistic, as the chassis is make up from the parts tree . I have chopped it, runs '36 ford wheels, twin carbed 4 banger and pretty much sits on the ground.
That's some kool*****, thanks for posting it Sean. As for striping, Paul Quiafe would have to be one of the best downunder, followed closely by Whodaky. That kid can pull lines with his eyes shut and somehow they always come out looking soo good. I've heard about the Merc but this is the first time I've seen pics, it's lookin better than I imagined, but why mess it up with a******* great boat anchor of an engine, when that flatty looks so good down there in the hole? The models are cool too, so why don't you bring 'em to the picnic for the model car show. never know you may just win a trophy. The '36 I especially like although I think the Deuce needs hairpins.
The merc looks so much better in person, pictures just cannot do it justice. The Flatty is staying in there for a while, but hey, when you already have a 392 block, might as well put it to use. Here is a pic of it, to give you a better look at the chop, this pic was taken quite a while ago, when Tony Eisner owned it. The same bodyshop has done all of the work, and since this photo was taken, a whole heap more has been done. Carps, I'm no trophy hunter, but if you need some models for the picnic, I could chuck a couple in, just make sure they're in a far corner
Hey Safarinut, here's my projector stand as it is at present and it works a treat. Dunno about your wife's glossy woman magazines tho, since the only ones I could find at Shane's hous, all the wimmin in em wuz nekkid.
