Boy ....That looks pretty spiffy ...  ( 'Ceptin for the blue stuff... )

With his comment, I'm going to forget about buffing louvers. But that does mean if you screwed up, you repaint the whole panel where the louvers are.

You are correct, sir! Happily, I've never sprayed any. Can't be a whole lot worse than spraying some of those pesky bumper covers from the 90s.

Tell the truth, if your new car had a button on the dash that color and it said "do not press"... you'd mash it wouldn't ya?    Candylike! Oh wait, it really is candy    Tinted clear is the stuff, man.

Has the owner seen it?

[idrivejunk]

Yes, he was by Friday.

I like the color contrast on this picture the best. Dark and shinny    this is going to be pretty.

Thank you sir!    I liked that lighting too, it has the candy glow. The shape of the car really magnifies the color effect. Can't wait to see a front fender.

After lunch I laid down the welding helmet, put on the kid gloves... and went to work building up the 33 body.  

Out of the grey room and into the red







Mike did a nice job tucking that distributor-

Is the Olds single stage or did you have to do the hurry up and wait on clear thing? I've heard of getting decent results using air dry clear with scuffnbuff after.  My DD GTP gets so ate up with hood chips it ain't funny but the beauty is that a Sharpie makes them "go away!" until its time for more duplicolor on a matchstick      

The Olds is good ol' fashioned Centari.....I amazed all my buddies when I first built the car ....Painted the firewall...Later I painted around all the window openings before installing all the glass stuff...Then later I edged around all the door & trunk openings before painting the body ......Yup..You guessed it ...Three VERY different shades of Blue ...All from the SAME gallon can  :!:   ..
 My friends told me that I had skills that hadn't surfaced yet...  :?  :oops:  :oops:  

 The same thing kinda happened when I painted my Kidd's '37 Dodge .....After the car was finished, Cathy & I had a "Run In" with Bambi..( Or one of her relatives).. Only one fender was damaged so I took the car to a trusted friend for repair & paint to resolve the repair quickly as the Kidd was coming home from Korea soon & planned to drive the car to the west coast for his next duty assignment....  Anyhow, my friend said repairing the fender was not an issue ...    When I asked about matching the paint,  he replied, " No Problem...which panel do you want me to match"  :?:  :?    :oops:  

On my Model A , I plan to use a NEW roller & maybe some of those new foam pads ....  

 None of those "Isocrylicides"  for me  :!:

33-34's scream hot rod to me. If they sit well, I'm in love. What's the story on the glass vicky on the rack?
