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 !!!

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:

Also I ordered a load of period water slide decals from the US, They arrived but they are crap quality so Ian is going to remake them all for me in better quality as he is a sign maker by day.

Charlie as usual you hit the nail on the head, Dead right :LOL:Quote:
