you trying to turn working on hot rods into a spectator sport, That could do it
I wondered where my new apprentice disappeared to after my wife made an unexpected visit to the shop last week.:HMMM: Take good care of her Steve, she's a fast learner.:rolleyes:;):LOL: I learned a few new tricks myself.:LOL:
Jack.
With the babes and bling that Steve posts on here I have to wonder why anyone on this site wouldn't check in on this build :eek::cool:
She's to fine to be from Bob's collection of pics..:eek::D
.
I think steve is trying to help him in that dept.!
Well, Steve at least has better taste... :eek::LOL::)Quote:

I saw it for a second but then it.................. Oh, never mind.
Jack
Naw.. we had to use it on Stovens!!! :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:
Just in time too. Thought one of my welds was on fire, then realized it was the assistant bending over. Nothing like a well placed extinguisher! :):LOL::D
Couldnt even see anywhere to hang an extinguisher...:confused::confused:Quote:

The doors are currently at the Bigbossman's place where he is slaving over a hot sign writing brush applying the door lettering in gold leaf, might get them back next week, I'm quite excited to see how they look.
I did get to sort out a small problem at the bottom of the hood sides, had to make a small panel to fill the gap, not sure how this is fitted on a steel Willys so I just glassed it to the wing, looks better now.

This is the new apprentice my wife found for me.:HMMM::(:CRY: You could hide a couple of dozen extinguishers on this one.:rolleyes:
Jack.
Jack you been hanging out with Bob again? I'm going to have nightmares for weeks!:eek:
That's got to be one stout stool:eek:
Cheers Bobby, hopefully have them back on next week, I can't wait !!!Quote:

Steve,
The missuzz wouldn't say where she found her but it wouldn't surprise me if Unc had something to do with it.:HMMM::rolleyes:
Jack.
I'd say she's a transplant from Ft. Myers, Fl, but since Pop's decided to desert us it's not as much fun anymore.........
All kidding aside,
She's working out pretty well, put a piece of sheet metal over a buck, have her sit on it once or twice and wala, the metal fits perfectly.:D:D
I have to stop this, she's starting to grow on me.:)
Jack.
I don't think she needs to "grow" any more.:eek:

So I am sorry to take a minute in this off topic post.I just wanted to let him know the utmost respect and regard I have for him.That I hope he keeps it coming to the end.The work in both the thread and the car shows.Well done mate.:toocool:
Gary
I think I like Steve's version of Jack's helper better. Remeber kids this is what happens when you develop a liking for high fructose corn syrup! :)

You Gary have spoken some very true words of wisdom sir about our Steve. Another couple of people who had that same ability but sadly have departed from this site is Ken Thurm and Don and Sons ( Itoldyouso ). And I sure they have been others but I still miss those 4 people and oh, the updates of the wild cats at the workshop. Kens work was on the same level as our Steve's here which I only can dream about, or maybe that is have nightmares about.
Whip i miss them too.Quote:

On the way we swung by Krispy Kremes to pick up a sackfull of doughnuts as the Bigbossman will do anything for doughnuts :LOL:
I think we may of interupted something as the Bigbossman had his bedroom attire on :eek:

We had a quick looksee at the doors while Miss Whiplash (Mandy) got the kettle on :)
Wow they look fantastic !!! I came up with a humorous idea and the Bigbossman did the rest, Lettering is done in 23,5 carat gold leaf, the rest is all old school sign writing, The man is talented to say the least !!!
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h2...LYS/Bubba7.jpg
By now the kettle was well boiled and already the Bigbossman was tucking into the doughnuts, One in each hand was a bit greedy i thought :LOL:

Managed to get them home without a scratch, here are the pics, Its virtually impossible to show how the gold leaf pops in a pic but its certainly bright !!!, unfortunately I can't fit them until wednesday as the hinges are at the chrome shop, Needless to say i'm over the moon with them and can't say thank you enough to the Bigbossman who has done a 1st class job, Thanks Ian.

To say the least!! You may be buying him doughnuts for a loooooooooong time!!Quote:
