These next 5 pics have a bit of a story behind them: They were sent to me by a very good friend of mine name of Charlie.He was going thru his picture collection and came across the negatives and had them developed for me. I didn't even remember him taking them,but anyway the story is: He wanted to get his 27 T flamed.He was putting it together in his LIVING ROOM as there was no heat in his garage.He had built several motorcycles in there and a T isn't much bigger so..... I layed out the flames and masked them off.We were going to use the standard(dare I say traditional?)yellow-orange-red with white outlining and we were using ENAMEL! I don't remember how much we covered up in the house but I guarantee there is still overspray in there and this was done in 1974! I used to tell people about this little caper and they'd all say,"Yeah right!" so here's the pix to prove it.Bear in mind that was when I weighed about 130 lbs. and lived on Dunkin Donuts coffee,unfiltered Pall Malls,and Jack Black! so without further ado,here they are:
this helmet is for a friend of mine.she does roller derby.i didn't paint the helmet.a friend of mine down in O.C did it.he does some great flake. speaking of flake y'all know Har****?man he brought over the badest tank over the other day.green flames and pink scallops on flake with panels and candy.sick i tell you....
After dis***embling it to get it outside(in the summer)it was re-***embled and the white striping put on.Not a bad looking car.I think the hood sides were made from old lockers(instant louvers).
Last weekend I took a cl*** from Mike Lavallee @ killerpaint.com and John Hannukaine, courtesy of MyTlow56 (Anothy). Learnd alot and can't wait to order up some HOK paint and do some serious airbrushing but until then, I will put up some of our lesons in One Shot....first some feathers..
Damn VT, you got good fast..some gold varagated leaf with aluminum leaf boarder..still need to finish the iris.
And Last, but not least, a little trick I stole from our pal Barnett...the Ol One Shot on the bottom of an ashtray trick..Thanks Dan...
