Jammin

Jammin the jams

Door jams that is




Trunks have jams to



One thing I've learned about paint, if you don't want over spray on it cover it UP













Squirted the paint on the jamms on saturday let it rest till sunday then unmask and cleaned up the shop in preperation for more work. Can't let the mess get too deep
More to come.

Mean Green Machine

Introducing THE HULK ,the latest acquisition and number four in line for a restoration.This beautiful old truck is one of my long time dreams, don't ask me why, it's just that I could never get the image of this body style out of my head. I think it's a disease. Like a head cold and a bad cough.

THE HULK came to me by way of Curly as you can tell it got the best of care, so it's not going to be a lot of work. OH! By the way I have this big ass Bridge to sell, Cheap. I'm just glad it was already here , and I didn't have to go get it.

Princess Blue
































Redressing the Princess, Full primer and guide coat. Now the task of wet sanding with 400 grit wet paper and lots of water, plus about 80 man hours.This is her under ware, I'm just taking out the wrinkles. If you stand out side and catch the light just right look down the side of the car and see the SHINE,this is just primer, blows my mind. Curly came over and worked with me for about 3 hours we got a lot done. Curly and I talked it over the Hulk is now mine.Whats a Hulk ,well it is a 1965 Dodge short wheel base 4x4 pick up. Lite green you know Forest Service green. Some old seat out of a Cadillac and a cracked steering wheel. Needs an a/c bad, anyway back to the Princess.My gaol is to be finished by Show and Shine mid July.
