don't ban me ...

:LOL: 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 :eek: , 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 ) . :LOL: 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 :eek: "am I the old guy now" ...:confused: "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 :cool: and a few frog skins....... "He's stoked ! "
We even went cruising ( him following of course :rolleyes: ) with him, w/my 64' Galaxie then the Nova ,it got me & the wife stoked just to see him. :3dSMILE: 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!

T L :cool: "guess I'll park the boat and pull my welder back out"

T L,
that pain looks killer!!!

Harmon

most excellent flames:cool:

Funny how a few simple mods can really make a difference, huh?? I'll bet he is stoked. Looks great.

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!!!!!

Lookin good Tree, got any pics of the whole car? Glad you all had such a great time

Pat

:cool: T L

freaky nice my man! i would cruise that thing with a nifty hunny by my side and let that mutha ride. not bad a look, a thumbs up too you!

Very nice :cool: 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............

Looks good TL ... Definately ... Is he planning to stay with the same scheme when he re-paints it march or april?

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 :whacked: :cool: . I think it'll look like some of the Pontiacs that come factory white vinyl top with green body :eek: . I'm just happy he is going to paint it :3dSMILE:

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

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

Looks good and not too overdone! Again, great work Tree!

I do have kids his age. Man the look did the car some justice. When i get done hope Tree visit's near my neighbor hood

I never said thanks to all the nice thumbs up " so thank you"
and he never painted it ... he found a deal on a 70s model short bed with a really! warmed over motor we've been working on ,I'll post some pix of it before we start playing with the paint .

What does an agnostic, dyslexic, insomniac do at night?

sit awake and wonder is there is a dog.
