    Thumbs up don't ban me ...

     



    A lil'buddy come by with a 1967 ford galaxy 500 ( 390/auto)
    he just picked up, tuned it up, checked the brakes out, greased the wheel bearings pulled most of the trim (wish I got a before shot) set the carb ,fixed a few small things I didn't like ( all with him helping ) removed all the paint and primer from the chrome , then popped some dents , smoothed and massaged some panels got it all one color ,masked and taped ( free handed some flames and striped w/aqua blue metal flake same as interior ,my mix )
    now the bad part ... used rattle can primer (but didn't go to bare metal ) because he's going to paint in march or april ( so don't put this in T.D.! rAtrOd thread ) . And he's stoked to drive it now so thought I'd show it off he's been driving it around all over showing every body .

    WaIT "am I the old guy now" ... "I'm only thirty ! I let him use rattlecan so I can't be that old ...

    What ya think ? I don't think it's bad for a few evenings and a few frog skins....... "He's stoked ! "
    We even went cruising ( him following of course ) with him, w/my 64' Galaxie then the Nova ,it got me & the wife stoked just to see him. we even picked up a few straglers a 50' Ford ,5?' Plymoth & a 68" Chevy.
    parked and had a visit, going to try and all get togeather and do it again.

    made me remember why I like to do this stuff!

    Great work, Tree!!!! Amazing what a good plan, hard work, and a few dead presidents can accomplish. For those wondering about "how it was done", this is a prime example.... Congrats on some really great work!!!!!

    Thumbs up

     



    Very nice It follows a simple hop up theme. I mean it really looks good in it's simplicity and didn't cost the earth.

    How did you come up with an effective design like that ? most cheap jobs come out looking eeeeerrrrghhh !

    Man that thing looks killer Tree, Recently I got an industrial vinyl sign cutter @ my favorite price "FREE" and me and my youngest boy (16) have been practicing with it and gathering up several vehicle graphic programs,found some way cool flames & pinstripes and we're gonna deck out the little Ford Ranger I got him.
    Pretty amazing what a few simple graphics can do to a vehicle.
    Again that really looks good,nice and simple............

    Smokin65 , don't know how long you been here at CHR but I've got a ThAn'G for - ghost flames - so some how he has decided to do something along the same line with just a shade lighter then his original colors . He wants to go green with a white top " I don't agree w/the green " but it's not my car so, what ya gon'A do , it may turn out cool who knows . I think it'll look like some of the Pontiacs that come factory white vinyl top with green body . I'm just happy he is going to paint it

    HWORRELL I'd hate to see what I'd come up with if I had access to a toy like that

    southerner we tried a few things w/chalk before "I" thought it looked "OK" . He thought they all looked cool
