Some of my Art work
Permalink  
 


I can't imagine painting a bus with a roller let alone doing all the work it must have taken to paint it with all those leaves.

What's the deal with the repair on the fender? Almost looks like stitches. Any chance of a closeup?

How far off is the Olds from being on the road?  My "heap" is a '38 Olds coupe.  The skull would have suited my car on Sunday as I drove it into Toronto for a funeral.

Wow, strange paint mixture!! Lol

Really like the front end of that car.


 

I didn't want flat black (too many out there) so I thought I would add some flat white to lighten it hoping I would like it.  I didn't like what I was getting so I decided (just for a joke/stupid experiment) to add some gloss blue to the mixture being the car was originally blue.  Tried a couple of different mixes and some test sprays and I am really happy with how it ended up.  I think the final mix was 3 parts flat black, two parts flat white and 1 part gloss dark blue.  Extremely cheap and I don't have to worry about bugs, gravel, dirt roads, stone chips etc ...

 

And now back to the original post (sorry)

No roller, but a lot of palm/maple leafs.It took about 3 days. Everybody kept stopping by to have a look and chat. Slowed me down for sure.

But it was fun to do something different and my buddy was so happy.

I'm hoping to be driving mine by this summer if time permits.And if everybody around this house knows whats good for them......there will be time.lmao.

I wanted the fender "stiched up" and I used copper wire. My kids call it frankinrod. lol.

The fenders are of course coming off.

My buddy that I painted the bus for found me an old leather olds jacket so I airbrushed the skull on the back of it,

The other jean jacket I did for my Dad with his truck and trailer on it.

Sadly, he is no longer here to help in all my highjinks, but  he planted the seeds for my love of cars, ect.

I'm sure he is with me with every crazy thing I build, and every show I go to.....and every neighbour clearin burn out I do. biggrin

001.JPG'38 Olds. Nothing special, won't win any shows ... just a driver that gets me into shows. 305 with T5 stick, Mustang II front, '68 Camaro rear, Jeep Cherokee leafs, '77 Camaro wiring and steering column. Rides nice ... hate the wheels. Mixed flat black, flat white, and gloss blue Tremclad for the paint. Most fun I have with it is when I get comments from people in their 80's ... always makes them smile. Put a hitch on it so I can haul stuff. Gets used year round as long as the roads are dry.
