Thanks! I'd like to keep it real paint, and not decals or stencils if I can do it reasonably.

 

yeah he does nothing but lettering and pinstriping. hes done car show signs for us and did my grandpas 34 ford ill take some pics and show you his work and ill get the number.

 

Can't believe it! Today the guy who painted my Camaro called and says he's ready to paint the Austin. After giving me the run around for weeks, and not making any of his promised connections with me.
I told him he was too late, and I found another painter who was willing to come over as promised, and the paint work was going to him. He wasn't happy, but he needed to learn that you can't be a flake and keep business. He does great work, but I wish he would have been better at keeping his word.

 

well thats better than having the current guy take forever to do the bodywork.

a buddy has a 55 chevy hes building as a straight axel gasser but its been at the body guys place for i think 3 or 4 years now and its still not done.

 

Must have been either a very bad body, or he's on the pay as you go routine. The guy who's painting mine has several cars in his shop that have been there for abywhere from 2-10 yrs.! One pro street '66 Nova is so exotic that the sends a check each month for all that's done. The 10 yr. project just sits a lot waiting for the owner to save up for more work.

 

no the body was very solid and straigt but was paying as you go but had the money to pay at once but now that the car is fully paid for to finish it has been sitting with no progress.

 

i finnaly got some pics of bob spencers striping. heres some signs and the lettering on the 34.

 

Boy isn't that a familiar story! Pay up front and never see the car finished. seems like once the money gets spent elsewhere there's no money to finish.

Did you have a phone number for your pinstriper friend?

 

my grandpas looking for his card he couldnt find it when i was over there this morning. you going to the swap meet out at canby on sunday?

 

Yeah I'll be there at opening. Not much of a swap meet, but I can't pass any of them up. Never know when something really cool will show up. You going?
