My wagon is laced......

Finally getting this damn roof done so i can start drivin' again. Bumming rides SUCKS.....After sanding the roof back down from that horribly shitty metalflake I was sold I layed down a bright white base, and about 3 coats of ice pearl. Baked it last night and went in this morning and sanded it smooth, and started laying out my panels. I know they're not perfect, but I'm happy with them. It took me longer to get the lace to lie flat than it did to tape it up! Going back to the shop in a bit to lay down the clear.....









More pics after it's finished!

 

That is the shizzle! Where did you get that lace? Every fabric store I have been to only has lace as a border for tablecloths and whatnot.

 

badda bing!!! now lets see some bling!!, gonna get me a 40 of mickeys just to tip.

damn fine!

 

Slick man.

 

Looks pretty good to me , is the blue the same color as the body?

 

How about a TECH????

 

It's the same color the body is going to be.....someday....

Caballo, I got the lace at a fabric place that buys scrap stuff that other places can't sell. They had a huge roll of the stuff. I've got some left over, so let me know how much you'd need and i'll see if the wife will let you have it!

 

Sweet. I'm gonna lace sumthin'. Prolly just a panel or sumthin extra.

 

Well, i would've thought of doing a tech. But I think it's been covered on here before, plus donnie (lownslow) did a how to in Rod & Custom not long ago.

 

that,my friend, is tits

 

I wanna see the tech also! You just jazzed me about doing my 57 chebby wagon!!!

 

Looks good Switch. Hang in there--your set backs and hard work are really paying off! E

 

Nice

 

looks good,,now kandy it!!!

 

very, very nice! great layout, too! a few years ago, at the dollar general, we found a big piece, sold as a shower curtain. it was used on quite a few cars

 

old skool blingage.

I like muchly.

 

Nice! Now how bout the pics with clear on? Show us the shine!






.

 

Looks great!! Nicely done indeed.

If all goes well next month I'll be doing something similar 'ceptin it will be in a red candy with silver/gunmetal lace base.

 

It looks great! You should do a tech. I have been tossing around the idea of painting my 41 chevy with lace or candy.

Again, it looks amazing.

Brad

 

Thats kool as hell!!!!!!!!!!! Tech would be great..

 

Alright, heres the latest. Sanding and buffing starts tomrrow after I put in the windsheild so I don't soak the interior slingin' water around.....
Laid down alright, never used the clear i used for this, so it could've been better. Got a couple of stray pieces of fuzz from the lace that I missed with the tack cloth. Nothing cutting & buffing won't take care of though!

 

more. It's REALLY hard to get a picture of ice pearl with artificial lighting apparently. The shit looks super nice out in the sun though.















If the pics are huge, I apologize. Some of them are kinda dark too, it was still about 115 degrees in the booth when I took these, so i couldn't turn the lights on!

 

Oh yeah, heres a shot of the interior pieces since I sprayed them as well....

 

....

 

I KNEW you were going to post that!

 

Well you deserve it, that lace job rules.

 

Damn, that looks good! When you get a chance, roll it outside in the sun and take few pics including one with the whole car so we can get the overall image. Damn fine!

 

Will do. The rest of the car looks kinda cruddy right now though, I didn't take the time to mask off the whole body since it's just primer and theres alot of overspray. I'm gonna go over real quick with some 1500 on the d.a. to knock it off though since I have to drive it while I work on it. Don't wanna drive around looking THAT bad. If it's sunny tomorrow I'll try to get some pictures of the ice pearl in the sun though!

 

Hey man ,looking good. Can't wait to see more.
