paint booth or operating room? please make a mess in that shop somewhere.......it makes me not want to walk into my shop.
Here's some silly tech... Take a $10 vintage voltage regulator from eBay: Remove the cover and place it on your brand new Standard VR35 voltage regulator: And presto...
Hey Ryan-- Based on prices I've seen on the Antiques Roadshow, that cardboard box is easily worth 10 bucks. BTW, that's one deluxe paint booth right there.
There are a ton of different old regulators that use the same cover as the VR35. Don't limit yourself to the Filko.
Just a quick update to prove we are still at it... Keith has spent much of the week block sanding, but took some time off today to ****on up the bottom end of the motor and get it ready for paint. The motor is a special one. It's a 306" monster that was the backup motor for Randy's Bonneville car. Keith built it a couple of years back and it has yet to be run. Anyway, the plan is to shoot color next week... and the color is a good one.
Got my fingers crossed, that since you and Randy have the same initials, maybe you could keep the Keith Tardel roadster ***embly line intact at your place. Sounds good to me anyway ... what ? RCKT #'s 1 & 2 ... hell, make three .. please.
A lot of people don't know this, but the Tardel name started with paint and body back in the 1960s...
Love that color. I am planning on painting my '33 Red.....hard to pull off but looks so good when it is.
