Nice ride. It looks like it could smoke 'em.

Hey Bugpac. I was up to DeWitt a few hours ago. Stopped at the Speedway to fuel up on my way home from East Tawas.

It looks like a 2 ton truck to me.

Probably one of them vampire rods, they don't have a reflection in a mirror or show up on digital cameras. But, quite nice I'm sure.   Jbird 8)

Yeah, been getting a lot of pics to post with combinations like that.

I just wing it and one like what was shown, would be called a '32 Ford Hiboy Roadster Hardtop' in my world.

Now that's a three tone paint job I can appreciate, even with the copper metalflake. I always wondered how they got them big flakes to squirt out of that spray gun.    Jbird 8)

I used to just put the bigger stuff in my hand and blow it on with an air gun.. Works well but the paint has gotta be pretty wet or it will just fall to the floor on the sides..  Im not really crazy bout that bugatti needs different stripes..

Stripes? stripes? we don't need no stinking stripes.

A few years ago (OK a bunch of years ago) a buddy of mine bought a 68 Vette roadster, metal FLAKE green. At first glance, most people mistook it for an upside down ski boat. He degreened it and squirted it with a zillion coats of black lacquer, gorgeous car. Now it sits in the back of his shop collecting dust.  Jbird 8)

I never liked a lot of metal flake and I had a 18 ft marlin jet boat with a 550hp 427 chevy in it and i got lucky .. It was white with a red flake stripe around it so it wasnt over done with flake.. The sun loves flake too it eats the SH&T outta it..  really on the blowgun deal i was doing motorcycle engines,,,I really shouldnt give this one away) and i went to my local painter buddy and he gave me some fairly heavy silver flake and I put it in a salt shaker and it taped off the engine and sprayed it with black wrinkle paint and the last coat id lay on really wet and then id sprinkle the flake on the jugs.(oops politically correct term would be cylinders) I did find out after a while that it went on more consistent if i sprinkled it in my hand and blew it on with the air hose..
