    After three mini strokes and heart failure in the past five years, I've been kind of gone, but guess what I'm getting better. I'm a woodgrainer, just wondering how Highlanders is. He is an artist, and I hope he is well. And Flash the kopper kart guy and others that are real builders anyway, half-dead guy checking in. Ok is Germ ok? Love this place

    I forget things, but when Ryan went on his honeymoon. Someone hacked the forum. But in a good way, you're welcome. Our topless lady cruiser buddy told me I was in big trouble. Those were the days, don't enable flash on the forum, I said. LOL I'm sorry, so sorry If anyone remembers that, that's funny stuff. Hope everyone's well.

    There was a post in Paul's thread that mentioned Grenade Inspector. That was an old memory! I wanted to get past that milestone ASAP.
    You were in the first 600, I was in the first 50K!
    @Nads is still around.

    Thanks for the responses, guys. I'm just getting back on my feet, trying to find an old car for me. Now I'm working on a 1937 Plymouth dashboard right now, what a pain in the *** I'll get it done. I feel welcomed back, thanks

    @Jdee rumors of my death are greatly exaggerated. Still punching brutha, glad you are too. These latest variants came out exceptional, I think. Still all freehand brush. Hershey? If yes I'll look you up. 1st ones are 35 Packard, next 34 Ford. The last black n white is a pic of the original as seen in 33-4 Fords.

    @Jdee Did a grey Mopar back in the late 70s when Dad was still with us. Everything was still lacquer. 40s Buick, one of em was the gray base but the grain was a light brown. Weird af. Even got to do a 32 (?) Buick with that diamond gig in the center. Most rewarding was the 1950 Chapron bodied Delahaye for RAMA IX , King of Thialand. I can, with a right hand raised, say my work is fit for a king:cool: Wish I coulda saved the pics. Computer crash. Grain ran up and down vs across. It was kool. Good stuff man...
