What I haven't mentioned yet is that I am a former body paint guy by trade. I have this 36x28 shop in my back yard that I am building the car in. In order to fund it I do side work on hot rods for friends. This way the entire cost of the build is not funded from my regular pay or savings. That is why this has been a drawn out process.
Here is some of my stuff….
First up is my 32 Ford coupe. I have had it for a while and been having plenty of fun with it, but last winter decided a makeover was in need.
So I went from this…...
And after all this……
I am lucky to have a booth to "borrow" when needed.
Fresh Viper Yellow…..
Me laying flames….
9 hours of masking…..

I ended up with this….
New wheels and tires, windshield frame, mirrors, and taillights all added up for a completely new look.
With the new look and all the work I won a few best paint awards at some car shows this year. As well as Goodguys "Hotest Hot Rod" and NSRA "PPG Outstanding Use of Color" awards too.
