1980 "A" model KW...

Here's what she looked like when I rolled in...
 Almost 12 hours later... everything was hand painted with "patina" brush strokes and all. The paint on the truck was tired and dull, so everything I did matched it.






Sweeeeeet Chevy...

This thing just oozed muscle...

 The owner bought it when it was 2 years old, drove it stock for quite some time, then hot rodded it ALL himself!


Another classic "A" model KW...

This one was a lot of fun to work on. All hand painted. These guy's really like heavy pinstriping. :)




Some fun with antiques...

Every once and a while, I get some really fun projects in the shop. Here are a few. This is an original Pepsi cooler from the early 1900's. My customer had it sand blasted and then painted it himself and had me add the final touch. This is all hand painted.


 Here are a couple milk coolers for the same customer.


Dressing up a Curb Sniffer

Some work done at "Blessings of the Trucks" in Shipshewana Indiana...

I met some new friends and customers at a truck show this past weekend.
 
All hand painted...

 This truck was already lettered, I just added the pinstripes...

Update to an old barn...

This is my Dad and Brother's farm. I grew up here, riding bikes and driving tractors. For the past 60 years all of the buildings were white with green trim...

I came up with the color layout and one of the guys that works on the farm went to work painting... I painted the green stripe, and did all of the signs. 

 Pete and Smitty were my Great Uncles and were both Standard Oil Men.
 
 The building on the far left is my workshop...
 I can't have a plain door...
I think she turned out nice...

'31 Ford Model A Five Window Coupe...

I had some fun with paint today! I got this job from displaying at Autorama. I think they will have me again, I should go. :)
 All of the striping was "distressed." I mix about 90% flat clear with 10% paint to come up with a very weak stripe job that looks like it's about 40 years old.


 This one was fun!
