Kelly's coming over to do the graphics and lines today.
Cant wait to see what him got up his sleave.




Need to throw some paint on dem tires to hold me over...



Anyone gont an extra Desoto bumper kicking around?

 

I bought my wife a more door car and changed my mind.

 

you ruined that car. suicide doors are awesome

 

Ya I guess I did I went all out and chopped it today.

 

nah, its cool. its just my personal opinion. i love 2 doors and if the car had been a regular 4 door i wouldnt have really bothered with it but seeing suicide doors made me cringe lol

 

Lesbians!!!!!!!

 

this is my next tattoo now, no joke!!! well, spruced up a bit of course!

 

That blue looks great,Lono!!!!!!!

Thanks Bob. I cant wait to get the whites on it and pull it out in the light.

the pin striper who did my 31 Raodster came over and did the graphics and stipes I wanted. Anotehr 2-3 hours on tuesday and he'll be done.
It may not be for everyone's tastes but I love it.

It reminds me very much of the cars i remember in the 70's. We loved the airbrush work of show cars but no one had the budget so sign painters did our graphic art. Totally freehand and one of a kind type of stuff. Can anyone pick up on the M for mercury?

 

That stripping rocks!

 

That looks great Lono !! Man that car will be a blast !!

 

nice orange peel eh? chuckle.

 

Crashnburns Merc is the best looking 4 door chop I've seen and just how I'm going to do mine!

 

Here's mine, at the 51st US Nats, in Indy.

 

Here's my 51. Nosed, decked, shaved, frenched. Lowered with 4" blocks in the back and Aerostar springs in the front. It has a 454 Chevy motor, 350 trans, and ford 9" with 350 gears. Running 8" cherry bombs! Lol.

 

This is what it looked like when I got it. 90's inspired street rod lol. I hated it.
