welcome from another custom chevy owner in australia

 

Well Shanks whats going on with the space herpie you have taken it to the 3 things you wanted to whats next?

 

hey craiger
make it start good ,,, change grill ,,, remove vice grips from drivers door handle , make it not run so rich (coz i run outa juice , and had to syphon from me ute) ,, maybe a fuel cap ,, like on outboards with a float and needle thingy ????... fix tyres .. maybe lower profile on rear ,,, so it rides lower and sparx easier ,
and then the things i was gonna do anyway ???????
glass screen maybe ,,, ... belts ... indicators so ,on so on so.. on as u know .. and maybe ,,just maybe
some sorta rego
so i can drive it properly (any hints)???????($100 cash )
plus on top of that ,.what ever u want 2 do inbetwen roadster building and fixing roads....
might even get mirrors 4 it soon

 

any one got any clues on a 50,s splitbench??????????

 

Angle grinder?????

Rego, yeah that would be handy... letting Cragar loose will only result in some silliness on the roof

 

I have been looking at what Art Himsl did in the 60s so look out I am thinking riben , lace, fish scales, candy , flake to much stuff not enough car but at the end of the day Shanks will be to scared to really let me have a free hand

 

whaaaaaaaa chu talk about honkey ??????????

 

Shanks, I'll call you tomorrow re stuff....!
(sorry had family dramas the last few days...)

Maiki

 

Cragar,

My Ek has a bare silver flake rook that badly needs some candy (purple i think).....ideas..? I wanna go kinda nuts on it.......fish scales....or flames all over..or....?

Cheers
MAIKI

 

that could be very dangerous ,,, man gets carried away ,when spray gun in close reach, what goes in and how it goes in is nearly as interesting as what comes out ..
sounds like your roof has a good base for a (f)craigart expieranment !!!!!!!!!
luky he,s too busy building roadsters and makin roads to be playin with lots of other peoples cars ...
but do take his suggestions on board .......
they sumtimes take a day or 2 to sink in and visualise , but at the end of that day or 2 he,s usually right (dam)
cheers
shanks

 

Mai Ki-Ki if I remember right you had a purple roof before if you want to stick to that do it candy and in the base do some thing as what I did to Devilrods roof mask out the flames and put fish scales in the flames that way you get it all . But if it were me I think your car needs something to make it stand out more a brighter colour than purple custom paint is not about being subtle so if you are going to be a bear be a grizzly

 

Open to suggestions! colourwise...still have most of a tin of HOK Plum Kandy (if Lowsquire remembers where it is!)....but happy to get more....

=]

 

Bring it into my work maiki and i'll flake it with the candy. . .

 

if you have the plum allready go with it but put some bright flames on it to give the hole car a lift but if you can,t find it I would go tangerine with some fish scales in the base BUT THAT IS JUST MY OPINION at the end of the day it is your car and you should do what makes you happy

 

But Shanks in your case you have no taste so you should leave it up to me

 

Don't you guys have homes to go to?

 

This is Home.

 

TASTE ??????????
ASK YOUR MRS ,, ABOUT HAVING NO TASTE!!!!!!

 

bring on the custom chevs!!
