Show us some panel pait jobs on 60's gassers

Not the fanciest, but it is original 60's panel paint with lace work, drizzle or string paint on the frontend and fogging on the edges.

hey the Guggy's coffee shops is from Arizona that car was awesome

 

that drizzle or string was known in the day as COBWEBBING it was a very cool effect done with a special tip.....................ANYBODY HAVE PICS OF WORK DONE BY JACK(THE BEARD) RUCKMAN he did some killer drag cars in this period

 

The Prock & Howell 33 willys is my all time fav panel job.

 

I really like "panel" paint jobs. Hopefully we don't limit this thread to Gassers only, although for some reason it seems, Drag cars seemed to be very popular with this style custom paint. I really don't understand why people and painters got away from it. It should've been a timelss look.

 

I should have remembered that, minor case of brain fade. Happens pretty regularly now days. If I ever get the car back together, I hope I can find someone that can still paint it again.

did ya notice the caddy eldo rear wheels...maybe toro

 

one of the best threads ever!!

 

i own the Guggy's coffee shops Willys and yes it was from Arizona and was painted by legandary painter George Cerny Jr. from Compton,California if you know George's work the Guggys was very mild compared to his other paint jobs on funny cars and dragsters.

 

28 X 11 slicks on Toronado wheels. I din't really like the black tires on the black wheels, but I couldn't afford to have them chromed and never got around to painting them some other color. It was a race car, looking good wasn't the primary goal.

no Larry I like the look it was more about gettin it down the track,hell paint was cheap back in the day

 

Amen to that brother. Bucky's car must be seen in person to be appreciated, it's beautifully done. It also has a flake steering wheel and he has his helmet painted like the old metal flake Grant rebel.

 

Thats not true, its just under reduced laquer, at high pressure. Ive done it with the same tip as I shoot everything. 1.4

 

Some picts I have !

 

I totally agree! I loved the wild paint jobs you would see around the late 60's-70's. Let's keep this thread going. Maybe I can get some ideas for 70's style paint jobs for my Acadian....metalflake, lace, cobwebbing, panel painting, etc...

 

Did that come from Washington?

 

I got the car from a guy in south Surrey, just south of Vancouver, BC. He bought it back in the early 80s down in Lancaster Ca where it had been raced in the 60s and early 70s. It was parked and a new frame and cage was installed, then the project was abandoned. I plan to put a tunnel rammed 440 in it and go nostalgia racing.

 

I dig the panel paint jobs.
Here is a photoshop I did for a hamber.

 

The Lazy 8 in the early 70's....

 

.what i found...

 

Local car, not too gaudy.

 

Nice! Post some pics of it when you are done, or as progress is made. You gotta keep as much of the paint job as you can
It would be a big hit seeing it racing here at the local 1/8 mile drags at Western Speedway.

 

Not a gasser, but pretty psychedelic...

 

Thanks Willysrule, awsome !!!

Here's one saved....
