    I was asked by my pals Ken and Keith to do a little job on a clients car down at the RB Man Cave deep in the Green Field Center Woods. After a design was settled upon, I packed up my stuff and headed south. Arrived at the Headquarters of Mista Bones and after a little B.S session, proceeded to get to bidness....
    I must say, it's a really relaxed environment to work in and it's a shop full of S-O-U-L.
    Here are some random shots of there super cool Hang out.(sorry for my lousy Phone shots)

    That 34 is SO nice. The shop looks wonderful too. Thanks for posting.
    Did they tell you what the tube frame is for? Is it a full frame or just a cage?
    Edit:
    Sorry, Looks like you are in full flow of posting. I thought the first post was it

    And can see the whole frame now...

    Ken grabbed a brush and joined in on the fun.... I got no pics of him in full swing,.. but for those who don't know... he is a highly train fine artist and has been a Western artist for over 25 years....His work is outstanding.
    Any how...we got the doors done and gave Mista bones the rub......

    Nice! That's officially got to be the nicest shop car and shop signage ever!!!


    Any idea how they painted that '33 3w? It's shiny but still flat, I'm ***uming it's a mixture of flattening agent to the clear? It's not buffed to a shine is it?

    That is pretty sweet. All the little details must've killed you! How long did it take to paint? I probably wouldn't be able to stand up for a few whours after finishing that one!

    The full cage is for Keith's new B-ville car.. he was mocking it up and getting the car ready for the Salt this summer....with a killer 550 hp Y-Block no less!
    The bones are coming to the LSRU and Keith is picking his engine up somewheres in Texas at the same time.
    He is a SPEED DEMON.:)

    Jeffy...I can tell you one thing..despite all the naysayers and *****s that tell lies and fibs about these guys... they have no secrets.... I asked so many questions and received all the answers.
    The paint they use is Lacquer.. and never use any clear on anything.
    They just keep rubbing the paint.
    I have known them for a while now and they have always been up front and give there knowledge freely.
